Tokyo has yet reported over the
main island OF Nippon.
The raid was made in bright sun
light less than IL hours after Gen.
Douglas Macarthur announced that
his Philippines based bombers were
operating off the coast of Formosa,
primary enemy staging base be-
tween Japan and the Philippines.

The main force hit the repeatedly
bombed aircraft city OF Nagoya
while other units struck at the
thanking cities of Osaka and Ham

All are industrial areas on the
South Central coast OF Honshu
main island Of Japan.
Tokyo claimed that II Superforts
were shot down and % damaged.
The enemy communique claimed
there were brought down by suicide
interceptors but at the same time
said only two fighters had failed
to return.
Admits Damage
The communique admitted "some
damages were inflicted in the Ma
goya and Hamamatsu areas by enc
my incendiary bombs" an unusual
concession from imperial headquar-
tiers.

Air patrols sweeping waters hun
dreds of miles north of the Philip

MacArthurs communique for the
first time. They shot down touI
japanese planes and left five coast
