 Invasion Vulnerable At this crucial point in the war today, the Japanese home islands are, in the words of Admiral Nimitz and many officer of his staff, wide open for invasion. Yet the Japanese army is to all intents and purposes intact and undefeated.
 The Japanese Navy has lost so many warships that it no longer can present balanced force. The enemy submarine fleet, however, is still 8 menace.
 The Japanese afr force is estimat- ed at 750,000 men. Production which was 1,200 planes month until early this year is undeniably smaller now. Lost Mastery Japan no longer is master of half her home waters and more than half her home skies.
 But British sources estimated to- day that Japan has 100000 men in its active ground forces, plus Japanese home guard of unknown value but estimated at another 2,500oo0 to 3,0o0,000 The front-line or active army is believed to be dis tributed roughly as follows:

 Moy Be Evicted

Clarksburg. Mass, Aug. 7-(UP)- More than 100 families here feared today that a proposed Hoosac river flood control project would force them to evacuate their homes to make way for an artificial lake 80 feet deep.

Surrender
 UItimotum
 Likely i Fresh Terms Moy J Be Given Japan; ] Avoid Invasion

Washington, Aug. 7.-UP)-Mil- itary observers believed today that the Allies were considering a new uitimatum calling on Japan to sur render or be annihilated with atomic power.
 If it is decided to issue an ulti- inatum, the observers said, it prob- ably would come within few days after President Truman arrives home from Potsdam.
 Calculation Period
 The period until then will give the Japanese time to examine the effect of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. This, and the threat of more to come, might tend to con- vert them to "rightful thinking" the sources said.
 Any surrender brought about short of an invasion would, of course, save uncounted American lives. the military men pointed out.
 The observers noted with interest that Tokyo was not picked as the target for the first atomic bomb. The purpose of this may have been to avoid destruction of the Japan csc government, the appropriate surrender authority. A second mo- tive may have been to play on Japanese nerves by stirring fear of having the closely-packed capital blasted by atomic power.
 Wide Damage
 Although still awaiting detailed report of the effect of the bomb, observers doubted that it wiped out the entire city of Hiroshima. How ever, they thought it quite probable that the one explosive charge may have ruined the towns war-waging capacity for months to come.
 The nations highest strategists, meanwhile held the secret as to how long the Japanese would be given to think it over before more and wore atom bombs are loosed upon them

 terday's B-2e raid on five Honshu industrial cities showed that 572 bombers hit the primary targets, 28 dropped mines and nine struck at targets of opportunity. The crew of the only B-29 lost was rescued.
 The effectiveness of the mining campaign already credited with vir- tually cutting off Japan from her sources of raw materials, forced the Japanese cabinet to meet today for the second time in as many days.
 Radio Tokyo said the main sub ject discussed was the transporta- ton of materials from the China continent. Other internal and for eign matters also were taken up, the broadcast added.
 Today's fighter-bomber raid on the Tokyo Yokohama area followed one yesterday by 97 Iwo-based Mus tangs on nine airf1elds bordering the capital. One enemy plane was destroyed, three others probably were destroyed and 21 were damag- ed yesterday.
 Ship Afiame
 The Mustangs also set a 220-foot Japanese vessel afire and attacked other targets. No enemy planes were sighted in the air, buta nti- aircraft fire downed six Mustangs. The pilots of three were rescued.
