 Shuris fate already had been sealed, however. While army troops swung around behind the citadel, shells from American battleships ripped holes in the castle to pave the way for frontal assault.
 The Japanese were known to have pulled out thousands of troops from Shuri for stand farther south and the final defense pre- sumably has been entrusted to suicide garrison.
 Seventh Division troops smashing inland from the east coast already were due south of Shuri and only three miles from Naha Harbor where linkup with the sixth ma rines would complete the encircle- ment of the inland fortress city.
 The seventh's vanguards were near Kamizato Village, astrlde the main central highway running southeast from Naha and Tera just northeast of Kamizato.

Yokohama, a city of 1,00O, 900 was one of Japan's principal naval bases and the main port for Tokyo and northern Japan. Devastated Tokyo itself, just north of Yokohama, still was smoking from the the disastrous B-2o fire raids of last Thursday and Saturday.
 The big bombers struck from me- dium altitude at the a. m. morn ing rush hour and, Tokyo accounts said, unloaded their cargoes of death or destruction in steady rain for two and a half hours.
 Mustang fighters from 1wo-esti- mated by Tokyo at 100 to 150 strong ran interference for the Super fortresses and tangled with enemy fighters high over the port city. Tokyo said Japanese anti-aircraft batteries also were in action.
 A Japanese communique said 30 B-29s were shot down and 40 heavily damaged out of force it estimated at 800 B-29s and 100 Mustangs. It said the raid lasted an hour and a half with some bombs also falling on Togko and Kawasaki, midway between Tokyo and Yokohama.
 Considerable damage was caused in the city of Yokohama" the con- munique said.
 The raid was the first in strength on Yokohama, a modern city of 72 square miles packed with shipyards, motor vehicle plants, steel plants and assorted aircraft, rubber, radio and petroleum works.
 Bombs were aimed at three main areas, Yokohama harbor with its docks and breakwaters; the modern commercial and residential sections to the southeast, and the northeast district, where numerous war plants lie on reclaimed land jutting out into Tokyo bay.
 Among the plants in the northeast section were the Mitsubishi heavy industries and the Tokyo Electric company. The population nj the

 Mustang fighters from Two also visited the Tokyo area in daylight yesterday. They bombed and strafed the Kasumigaura naval air station 32 miles northeast of central Tokyo and destroyed or damaged 42 enemy aircraft.
 Airfields Strafed A dispatch from Two said two other airf1elds northeast of Tokyo -Imba and Yachimata-also were strafed in the raid. The Mustangs flew their deepest mission yet into Japan, round trip of 1889 miles.
 Smoke rose to 4,00O feet after the attack.
 One enemy plane was shot down and another damaged in the air and five more were destroyed and 35 damaged on the ground. One Amer ican plane was shot down over the target.
 Navy search planes were revealed to have sunk or damaged 10 enemy ships in sweeps over waters around Korea Sunday.

 The fighting lasted several hours with casualties on both sides.

 In Hama, Syrian demonstrators engaged French troops who took positions at the towns entrances, thus isolating it. French tanks ar rived to reinforce the local garrison.
 Elsewhere, however, French au- thorities appeared to be doing their best to avoid incidents with Syrians and Lebanese. French forces were withdrawn into their barracks, and in most Syrian towns the French populations were concentrated in single areas so they could be evacu- ated quickly.
 Damascus and Aleppo were re- ported relatively quiet, although temperS ran high. Levantines were preparsd for the worst. Syrian and Lebanesc youth movements were forming into bands.
 Some caimer elements waited for developments, still hoping for a peaceful solution of the crisis pre- cipitated by the arrival of French achievements in the Levant dur ing independence negotiations.
 The tendency in both Syria and Lebanon was not to act officially until the efforts of the potentially powerful Arab league were tested. The news that the French minister to the Levant, Count Ostorogue. had consulted with Gen. Charles De- Gaulle and the British and Amer

 "The difficulty" he said, lis to produce a situation in which the kind of arrangement that we have in Iraq could be repeated. That needs confidence between the ne- gotiating powers which unhappily does not exist now"
 Eden said it would be inexcusable if developments in Syria and Leb- anon were permitted to interfere with the war against Japan and he urged all parties concerned to behave with caution and prudence.
 He admitted the presence of a British brigade in Syria, but empha- sized that the troops were there for routine training and had not con- nection with the new crisis.
 Eden disclosed that the French endorsements whose arrival in Syria and Lebanon touched off the latest disorders numbered only 500 men. Their advent, however, was particularly ill-timed in view of the fact that Britain was trying to ar- range a settlement.

 In discussing the Argentine situ- ation, Stettinius implied that the United States drew sharp line of distinction between the present Argentine governments policies and the attitude of the Argentine people.

 United States foreign policy, the secretary said, will play an import ant part in determining the success of the world organization. He out lined these five major considera- tions which must govern U. s. for eign policy:
 1-The war against Japan must be pushed to final victory and we must see to it that Germany and Japan are never able to wage war again"
 Extend Collaboration
 2-The U. S. must maintain and extend the collaboration now exist ing among the big powers which have fought this war together.

 Tt contended that the U. s. sub- marine had violated the safe cons duct pledgee and deliberately att tackled and sunk her" on her return voyage.
 This" Japan added, "is the most outrageous act of treachery unparalleled in the world history of war
 Only II days after the sinking, the State Department announced that an American submarine ap- parently had sunk the Ava Maru on which, 1t said, mo lights or spe- cial illumination were visible at any time" Such lighting is required un- 1 Ior ,la Nf fn The Japanese contended that the Ava Maru was fully lighted and that, therefore, it cannot but be concluded that she was deliberately and wilfully attacked and sunk by United States submarine re- sponsibility for disaster, therefore. unmistakeably lies with United States Government.
 The Japanese protest went on to say that the Japanese have un- flinchingly continued their efforts for humanitarian treatment of prisoners of war and internees in their hands
 | However, the note continued. United States Government are to be deemed to have abandoned their former desire relating to the treat ment of United States prisoners of war and civilian internees in Jap- anese hands

 It said the U. s. intends to con- tinue to give Japanese Nationals in it's custody the same high stand- ard of care and treatment as here- tofore."

 The American note questioned the propriety'' of Japan's uset Of the Ava Maru as means or evacuating large numbers of Jap anese Nationals and government officials from danger zones on it's return trip.
 The heavy death toll, the United States added, resulted in part from the refusal of survivors to grab life- lines thrown to them from the sub- marine. The submarine remained on the scene making every effort to rescue survivors, it said
