Such news blackouts in the past often preceded the announcement of developmnts of major import ance, such as conclusions of cam paigns or the launching of new in- vasions.
 Japan's invasion consciousness is sharpened further by the plea to its citizens to emulate the chill dren on Aka Jima who by hand grenade "banzai' (suicide) in charges against American troops and by Radio Tokyo's claim that the Jap mainland has been con- verted into an "impregnable fort ress."
