Raid Damage Greater Than Japs Care To Confess
The Associated Press reports Japan broadcast a new version of Saturday raids on Tokyo and three other cities, claiming attacks from three US carriers with planes fleeing to China. Tokyo HQ says a carrier task force appeared April 18 off Japan, with some bombers reaching China. Washington withheld verification. Reuters cites Chungking on US planes reaching destination. B-25s’ range suggests attacks from hundreds of miles off coast. Axis broadcasts claim heavier damage and casualties, while Tokyo officials discuss rumors and ministerial meetings. Continuous air alerts haunted central Japan, with a page-two continuation promised.
