5000 TONS DROPPED
U. 5. Completes 18th Fire
Attack On Japanese

GUAM Tuesday, June 5. -P)-
Kobe, Japan's principa! seaport
and sixth largest city, felt the
sting of Superfortress incendiaries
for the third time this morning as
400 to- $50 of the huge boinbers un-
loaded some 5000 tons Of fire
bombs on congested industrial
areas.
The area under attack extended
from one end of the long, narrow
city to the other, skipping only
a three-mile area west of the ship
building yards, burned out in two
previous fire strikes February 4
and March II.
Kobe, huddled tightly against a
ridge Of wooded hills, lies along
the shore of Osaka bay, at the east
ern end Of the inland sea. 1t is
about $50 miles southwest of To-
|kyo. Osaka, Japan's third largest
city, is just Is miles to the east.
Because of the cranaped posi-
ton between the shore and hills,
Kobe's 33-square-mile area has an
average population density of 3d.
500 persons per square mile. The
city is about 10 miles long and
two of three wide.
This was the 18th, incendiary
strike at Japanese cities by Maj.
Gen. Curtis Lernay's 21st Bomber
Command.
Targets today included the I'M
