Industry by B-29s
Possible, Lemay Says
BY the Associated Press.

GUAM, Sunday, April 15-Maj.
Gen. Curtis E. Lemay declared after
yesterdays greatest raid on Tokyo
by B-29s Of his 2lst Bomber Com
mand that destruction of Japan S
industry by air blows alone was
possible.
But we would have to have many
more B-29s than we do at present" "
he added. The very great strength"
of Super Fortresses which hit the
Japanese capital with fire bombs
shortly after midnight yesterday
probably numbered as many as 400.
Grew members reported they left
great fires in the 5-mile-square
area of arsenals and large and small
industries northwest of the I'M
perial Palace grounds. They heard
explosions when 100 miles from the
blazing city.
Cabinet Meets.
The Japanese cabinet, Tokyo ra-
dio said, met in emergency session
yesterday afternoon to hear reports
on the raid and discuss plans to
cope with the situation.
A Japanese communique said
fires were started in three palaces
and that the main building and
sanctuary of the grand Meiji shrine
were burned to ashes"
This was without American con-
firmation, as also was the Japanese
claim that Al of the raiding bomb
ers were shot down.
Twentieth Air Force headquar-
ters in Washington announced six
planes were missing from the raid.
Returning crews told of seeing Japa-
nese jet-propelled fighters flash
through their formations.
The bombers went without the
Two Jima-based Mustang fighters
which accompanied the last two
. daylight missions by B-29s against
Japan.
Emperor Reported Safe.
The Tokyo radio quoted Premier
Kantaro Suzuki as assuring the
Japanese people that their imperi-
al majesties, the Emperor, Empress
and Empress dowager are absolute
/ ly safe and sound and that no
damage was incurred by the three
sanctuaries within the imperial
palace" Suzuki personally apollo
gized to the Emperor for the bomb
ings.
The imperial communique claimed
fires were started in buildings
within the Imperial Palace, the
Omiya Palace and the Asaha de-
tached Palace"
Tokyo radio declared "the enemy
carried out such atrocious action In
an attempt to conceal his disap-
pointment over the death OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt"
1t was the 18th attack OF Tokyo
and the second in 38 hours.

Approaching the Japanese coast,
the men began to don fax armor
and helmets and test their guns
The first ack-ack sparked up at us
as we swung in over the coast and
drove across Tokyo Bay toward the
capital city whose horizon was be-
ginning to glow an ominous dull red,
studded with bomb flashes.
Then the searchlights began to
probe for us, crossing and criss-
crossing, battery after battery in
screen before the burning city. Along
the base of the great smoke cloud
growed score of evil-looking fires
which were merging. Several jap
anese fighters, bearing red and green
running lights for some strange rea-
son, trailed us but did not get close
We were driving into the wind
sweeping the smoke toward us and
on either side slender silver B-29s
were caught in brilliant cones of
light around which the ack-ack was
flashing.
One great ship seemed to falter
and wing over as we lodged the
beams and hit the wall of smoke.
The period which followed seemed
to stop the clock. Members of the
crew said they felt like they were
lowering over the gate of Hades
and might join the holocast at any
time.

cadets actually resent" the ruling
as an implication that they are sis

Mr.. Kupka said that most cadets
so far have chosen to continue five
periods of physical education week
and the two periods of drill week.
Meanwhile DR.. Holmes has re-
quested principals to give him an
ofnclal report Friday on the cadet
gym situation. Representative Ste

District Committee member, asked
for the report last week, expressing
concern that the system would in

program.
The Board of Education put the
system into effect last week as a
double measure both to save cadets

he hoped the cadet officers would

reasons for the low numbers this
