of the gigantic incendiary
bomb raid on Tokyo indicated
today that a 15-mile-square
area in the heart of the
enemy capital was burned to

900 persons homeless.
Photographs taken II hours

"The area attacked (10 square
miles) Is now entirely burned
out and an area Of five square
miles surrounding II Is similarly
gutted by fire. The fires left
nothing but twisted, tumbled
down rubble in their wake.
These facts are incontrovertibly
established by reconnaissance

noon of the strike"
Population of the area hit was
estimated at 100000 and the
deadly bomb load of more than
1000 tons undoubtedly trapped
thousands in the rubble although
/ nc accurate estimate of casualties
was available.
On the basis of photographs

In testifying for the AFL, Benja-

caused by the segregation plan. Any
number of members of a Negro to-
bacco union may sign and join the
white union at the same plant, he
said. Other AFL officials testified
that the NLRB has no concern un-

not a union bargains collectively

race.
