 The express service retained was that from Tokyo to Shimonoseki. connecting the Japanese homeland and the Chinese continent.
 Another broadcast revealed that the huge influx of evacuees into the outlying sections of Japan and forced authorities to abandon most of the governmental regulations for . feeding the refugees.
 As . result, food supplies will be distributed immediately to all evacueeS even those without proper air raid victim Identification cards.
 Tokyo announced that the evacua- tion of air raid victims from the capital had been completed for the time being" but said that air defense headquarters now was start ing a real move for the evacua- ton of people.
