 For at least eight hours they swarmed through thick haze to bomb, rocket and strafe pinpoint targets around the heart of the Mikado's empire.
 (Tokyo said they raided airdromes and military installations in six pre- lectures for five hours. Neither Tokyo radio nor Pacific Fleet Head quarters made it clear whether the attacks continued throughout the day)
 OffshOre Attacks
 American and British Pacific Fleets, forming the mightiest carrier task force ever assembled, cruised short distances offshore as waves of fighters, dive bombers and torpedo planes swept off flattop decks for at least eight hours.
 With approximately 800 Superforts flashing at four industrial and trans portation centers, at least 2,00O planes were hurled against Japan in today's pre-invasion attack.
 Adm. Chester w. Nimitzs terse ccmmunique, issued while the attack was still under way, ended the one day mystery as to the whereabouts of the mighty Third Fleet since two of it's battleship-led task forces steel centers of Northern Japan over the week end.
 C0nflagrations Started
 The blow, bringing British carrier units into Japanese waters for the first time, was quick fulfillment of warning yesterday that Hal sey's laundering force would be back to wreak new havoc.
 A 500-plane Superfortress fire raid on four Japanese cities possibly an hour ahead of the fleet carrier attacks started conflagrations in all four cities: Numazu, Kuwana, Hir- atsuka and Oita.

simo was not seriously i'll, as had
been reported in some sections of

Ambassadors two conversations with
the Soviet leader. Mr.. Hartman
returned to Moscow late yesterday
extremely tired from the long trip.
