NEW YORK, Aug. % Up
- The u. S. Superfortress raids
on the japanese homeland Sun
day were the main topic of dis
cussion at a meeting of Premier
Kuniaki Koiso's cabinet today,
the Tokyo radio announced in
a broadcast recorded by the
Federal Communications Com
mission.
Another japanese broadcast
recorded by the Associated Press
quoted the Tokyo newspaper
Asahi as specializing that the
Superfortresses which made the
raids might have taken off from
bases in India, refueled at
Chengtu in China's Szechwan
Province and then flown on to
Japan.
The paper also noted, the ra-
dio said, that the fact that ap-
proximately 100 B-29's were
used in successive raids in ia
pan indicates the enemy has
several hundred large planes in
reserve for such raids"
A U. S. communique on the
Sunday raids did not specify the
number of planes participating.
