 Ise Bay cuots into southern Hon. Shu, largest of the Japanese home islands, and at its head lies Nagoya, site of the big Mitsubishi aircraft factories, textile plants and other industrial works. Nagoya is 160 miles west southwest of Tokyo.
 5th Time
 It was the fifth time this month that the Japanese have reported SuperfortresSes on reconnaissance over eastern or southern Honshu. The flights appeared to correspond to the two weeks or more of bomb- less nuisance raids" by German planes over London in 1940 just be- fore the start of the Nazi blitz on the British capital.
 Such reconnaissance would en- able the SuperfortresSes to map thoroughly Japans most highly in- dustrialized cities and familiarize air crews with the territory marked for destruction in forthcoming heavy raids.
 Tn addition to Nagoya, the Super fortresSes also have been reported on reconnaissance over Tokyo it. self and the Kobe Osaka area, the most important industrial center in all Japan.
 It was unlikely that the War De- partment in Washington ever will confirm Tokyo's reports of recon naissance flights. When bombing actually begins, however, the War Department was expected to follow its usual policy of announcing raids only a short time after the first bombs have been dropped.
 The growing power of the 2Oth Bomber Command of Superfort- resSes was demonstrated Saturday hy three-way assault along an arc G nearly 700 miles. One group hit qae puppet capital of Nanking in occupied China, another attacked Shanghai and the third bomber the aircraft center of Omura on the Japanese home island of Kyushu, south of Honshu.
 A Berlin broadcast said Allied planes attacked Shanghai yester- day for four hours, but lack of any confirmation even from Tokyo indi- cated the German announcer had confused the attack with that "A hours earlier.
 Two ships were believed to have been sunk Saturday at Ranking, a United Press dispatch from Super fortress base said Clouds obscured results over the other two cities at tackled.
 The Domei Agency, in reporting the naval bombardment of Two in the Volcanoes, said damage caused to our side was extremely slight. Two, an eight-square-mile- island ITO miles south of Tokyo, has three airfields, Moto, Minami and Suri- bachi, from which Japanese planes have been raiding the Marianas.
 Darkness Aids
 The warships attacked under cover of darkness after a daylight raid by about 20 land-based Ameri- can Liberator bombers, Tokyo said. Pacific fleet headquarters at Pearl Harbor announced air raids on Two Thursday and Friday, but has said nothing of any attacks Satur- day.
 Last August and 3, an American naval task force shelled and bombed Two. together with Chichi, MuEKo and Haha, also in the Vol eanoes and sank 38 enemy ships. glie Bonin Islands, just noSth of the volcano group. were hit by car- Yer task force last July 3 and {.

be a dope. of course there's an apartment for rent in Washington. First she said she'd look around and she went to place called Park Fairfax which has 1,600- odd apartments rambling over acres of the Virginia countryside. The man. agement wouldn't show her an apartment, but it did insist on know ing about her morals, her finances and whether she had any cats or babies. It also demanded a two- years lease, said she couldn't move without its approval, and indicated that if shed write formal letter of application, the board of direc- tors would consider her case.
 My bride didn't cuss: Not out loud. She said she was the one who was renting the apartment. She said she'd sleep under a bench in Potomac Park before she'd write a letter like that.
 Her friends suggested that she make deal with the clerk at the want ad desk of a nenSwapeper that shall be nameless: the clerk, for a price, to forward the for-rent- ads before they were published. My bride said that wasn't honest.
 ... ...... Phone Call .... ..... She phoned man who advertised a de luxe house at $9O a month: It turned out to be half second-rate slum. My bride then went into the silence with her conscience and the obituary column.
 All I know is that yesterday the relatives of a lady who died of Hodgkins disease were mourning her untimely demise and that today Othman and bride were living in a freshly fumigated apartment. The landlord said Hodgkinson disease was not communicable; my bride said she'd feel better about the whole thing if he called in the fumigators. The landlord said, all right, but that it seemed silly to him. My bride just smiled.
 Tomorrow I'm going to buy her 8 bouquet and have a good long look at Congress. which I understand is a sight to see.
