attack on Tokyo last April 18. who
was in a Tokyo street when the
raid occurred, said today the Ja-
panese were thrown into panic and
depressed by the feeble defense.
The story was told by s national
of a neutral country who has just
arrived here.
“The daylight raid," he said,
“was a complete surprise and
shook the people’s confidence as
the government had boasted
that American planes would
never be seen over the capital.
“Tokyo’s close-packed, highly-
inflammable buildings were spared
as the planes went on to bomb tar-
gets between the capital and Yoko-
hama and other important indus-
trial centers."
He said foreigners were not per-
mitted outside of Tokyo to inspect
the damage which, he said, appar-
ently was heavy.
"I was on the street when the
bombers came over,” he related
"Sirens sounded and red warning
flags and balloons went up.

guns. Japanese pursuit planes
were out-distanced.
"Some Japanese commented on
the superiority of the American
aircraft. Japanese newspapermen,
questioned why the Japanese could
not locate where the planes came
from and intercept them, replied
that they flew too fast and too
high.
"The people insisted that Japan
was going to win the war, but I
got the impression that they were
very much afraid of the United
States. The press spoke of a long
war and some people talked of it
lasting ten years."
The traveler was in Manila when
the Japanese entered the Philip-
pine capital and went to Tokyo
from there by air. Ultimately reach-
ing Turkey by rail via Manchukuo
and Russia.
Of his observations in the Philip-
pines, he said the invaders appear-
ed nervous when they entered Man-
ila and that there was considerable
looting, even of the customs house.
He said he lost trunks and books
himself.
BRUTALITIES RELATED
Within Manila, he added, he saw
soldiers slap pedestrians for dis-
regarding traffic lights and heard
"reports that the situation was
much worse in the country, where
there were cases of violence and
rape."
The first two days of the oc-
cupation foreigners were interned
in hotels with almost nothing to
eat, he said. Then neutrals were
released and others, except elder-
ly persons and those with small
children, were sent to concentra-
tion camps

pinos are still with America,” he
said.

MacArthur Strikes
For Con
of Air
MELBOURNE, June 26—(UP)—Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s planes,
in one of the heaviest aerial assaults ever launched in the southwest
Pacific, struck the first blow today in a fight for control of these
southern skies.
Operating over a 2.000 mile front. American and Australian air
men raided Dili, in Timor island of the northwest invasion zone, and
Rabaul in New Britain Island of the northeast zone.
They spread ruin through the taget areas, smashing airdromes,
grounded planes, barracks and supply dumps and started tires which
the plane crews saw from 60 miles away as they flew homeward.
In addition to the main raid. Allied planes successfully attacked
enemy troop quarters at Salamaua, on the north coast of New Guinea,

AUSTIN, June 26.—(UP)—The
Texas supreme court today threw
the race for state railroad commis-
stoner to succeed Jerry Sadler, re-
signed. open to all candidates who
filed before midnight June 8.
Because of the short time before
the ballot for the democratic pri-
mary election must be distributed.
Chief Justice James P Alexander
announced that the decision is fin-
al and that no one will be grant-
ed a rehearing.
The decision settling one of
Texas’ most confusing political
situations to recent years was
announced at a special sitting
of the supreme court early this
afternoon.
The decision was made in re-
sponse to questions certified by the
court of civil appeals at Fort
Worth whose judges divided on the
matter
The litigation originated when
James E KUday, who filed for a
ballot place on June 1, asked tor
an injunction against the names
of 10 other candidates being certi-
fied because they did not file un-
til the state democratic executive
committee extended the time.
The candidates who will be voted
upon July 25 in the democratic pri-
mary election are:
James E. KUday, present director
of the motor divison of the railroad
commission; Buford Jester of Cor-
sicana; Clem Fain of Livingston;
Karl Lovelady of Meridian; Richard
Humphrey of Dallas; iPerce Brooks
of Dallas; Mayor T. Leo Moore of
Electra. Bryan Patterson of San An-
tonio; P M Armstrong of San An-
tonio, C, E McCormick of Cameron
and Will Pace of Tyler.
and drove off a determined force
of Japanese Zero fighter planes
which attempted to raid Port Mor-
esby. the Allied advanced base on
the New Guinea south coast.
MacArthur announced in his
communique that the Allies came
through this big series of engage-
ments without loss.
Four Allied planes were hit by
machine gun bullets from Japan-
ese Zero planes in the savage Port
Moresby dog fight but none was
damaged seriously, and at least
five Zeros staggered off with ser-
ious damage, probably to crash
in the mountainous New Guinea
interior.
FINISH FIGHT
No doubt was held here that the
Allied raids on Dili, Rabaul and
Salamaua opened, a finish fight,
on a scale never seen in the anti-
podes. for supremacy of the air.
Both sides had been organizing
for it. For four days, Allied and
Japanese planes had been conduct-
ing aerial reconnaissance marking
the final preparation, and Mac-
Arthur then hit first and hard.
Huge Blazes
LONDON, June 26— (UP)— The
Royal Air Force made the greatest
bombing raid in the history of
aviation today upon the vital Ger-
man city of Bremen, with a giant
fleet of more than 1,000 planes
showering immense demolition and
incendiary bombs upon nazi war
industries.
The air ministry, in its first
communique announcing the raid,
said that the planes had set great
fires in the target area which in-
cludes submarine work, shipyards,
a dive bomber factory, cotton mills,
the giant Focke-Wulff airplane
plant and the largest high grade
oil refinery in Germany.
Furthermore, though it was sub-
ordinated by the news of the at-
tack on Bremen, the air ministry
announced that a second force of
bombers and fighters disorganized
Germany's defenses by attacking
airdromes in Holland and Belgium
which were to the path of the
bombing fleet.
"There were many combats be-
tween our bombers and enemy
fighters in course of which some
enemy planes were damaged or
destroyed,” the communique said.
32 PLANES LOST
Admitting that 52 planes were
lost, the air ministry said that a
telling blow had been struck at the
German air force which attempt-
ed to fend off the British raiders.
The great RAF forces compared
in size, if it did not actually sur-
pass, the 1.130 plane force which
left Cologne in flaming ruin on
May 30 and the 1.030 plane smash-
ed on Essen two nights later.
Well-informed quarters under-
stood that the percentage loss was
under 4 percent
Canadians, Poles, Czechs and
American volunteers of the royal
air force joined Britons in the
raid in which mammoth four mo-
tored bombers, carrying up to eight
tons of bombs each, patterned a
target area of almost unequalled
importance in all Germany.

Should Be Pals

‘WASHINGTON. June 26-()-
Military experts, taking a grave
view of the Allied situation in
North Africa, said today that the
war in Europe was entering a po-
tentially decisive phase with Ger-
many at the point of making her
long-awaited all-out drive against
Russia.
The next few days, one authority
said, should show whether the
great battle on the Russian front
has in fact already begun in the
operations at Kharkov and Sevas-
topol or whether those were pre-
liminary actions-in-force for the
main campaign which would then
certainly be understaken by the
Germans with little delay.
Germany, it was generally be-
lieved here, would try for a ser-
ies of successes so smashing that
by next fall or winter she would
be able to follow up with either an
attempt at invading Britain or a
negotiated peace with her foes in
Europe
The end result of either
course, if successful, would be
to deprive the United States
and the remaining Allied na-
tions scattered over the earth
of both invaluable allies and ef-
fective bases from which to
strike back at the axis in Eu-
rope in 1943.
Offsetting this black prospect, as
the nazis would have the world
see it, were these considerations
from the United Nation's point of
view:
1. The heroic record of resis-
tance made by the Russians to
date in their year-old war with
Germany and the predictions of of-
ficials familiar with their fighting
spirit and military efficiency that
they never would be defeated.
2. Prime Minister Churchill's
confident assertion, reported by
legislators who conferred with him
and President Roosevelt yesterday
that Egypt can and will be held.
3. Formal creation of a Euro-
pean theater of operations for the
U. 8. forces In Europe. While in
itself this was purely an organisa-
tional move. It indicates the like-
lihood of early and powerful Amer-
ican action against Germany di-
rectly.
PRODUCTION EDGE
4. The fact that American and
Allied production is reported to
have outstripped the total produc-
tion of the axis powers in import-
ant weapons, especially warplanes.
5. The fact that, except far
her advances into the western
Aleutians which are strategical-
ly inconclusive, Japan has been
thwarted in every recent at-
tempt to crack the American-
Australian position la the Paci-
fle and has paid a costly price
in ships and planes for her
failures.
The Pacific victories undoubted-
ly hive eased the pressure on the
Allied nations in that theater and
permitted them to concentrate fur-
ther on building up their forces for
the all-important months ahead.

CAIRO. Jone 26. — (AP) —
United States army bombers,
four-motored Liberators, attack-
ed Tobruk harbor last night,
the RAF middle east command
announced today.
maxing a 100-mile advance in two
days, now was confronting the
British about 30 miles west of
Matruh
British Imperial headquarters
previously had announced that
axis vanguards advanced within 30
miles of Matruh last night.
In the interim, the main axis
army surged forward, dispatches
said, but so far had not yet col-
lided with the new British defense
lines.
The decisive battle was expected
to start at any moment.
Latest reports said the heavy
axis armored columns, supported
by mobile infantry, were rumbling
along a wide natural avenue about
midway between the Mediterranean
sea coast and a desert plateau gis-
ing 25 to 30 miles inland.
British armored patrols were re-
ported to have scattered other axis
light forces along the western rim
of the Qattara depression about
00 miles inside Egypt.
The main British forces were
described as drawn up about 30
miles west of Mstruh. key railhead
160 miles west of Alexandria.
Other major developments saw
the British hurt another huge-scale
aerial assault of more, than 1,000
bombers against Bremen in the
reich, while Russia's red armies
lost ground in the Kharkov battle
but held fast in the siege of Sevas-
topol.
London military experts said the
swift axis drive into Egypt, coupled
with the German thrust toward
Russia’s Caucasus, was likely to
make the next week one of the most
critical periods of the war.
These quarters said Rommel could
throw approximately 100,000 troops
into the attack on the main British
defense line before Matruh, with
the outcome perhaps involving the
fate of Egypt and the entire allied
position in the middle east.
Dispatches from Cairo said
Gen. Rommel, gambling on a
swift knockout of the battered
and weary British Eighth army,
was throwing into action every
ounce of his striking power.
This included the German 21st
and 15th armored divisions, and
a huge supporting mass of mo-
Incised Infantry.
In addition, the axis chieftain
was reported using newly captured
British and United States-built
tanks, hastily daubed with swati-
kaa on their aides
While the British declared their
army was still a formidable battle
force, bolstered by fresh troops
