A Tokyo-datelined Domei correspondent suggests Japanese forces believed the U.S. bombers could not be hit, leaving many attacks unanswered. The piece notes the American tally improves as confidence grows, even as some Japanese defense logic appears flawed.

War plants after victory face postwar use questions
Washington debates how to handle government built war plants after victory. Estimates show 30 billion in prewar plants, half converted to war production, with 26 billion worth of new war plants built. Proposals range from locking, selling, leasing, trading, to operating at a loss to provide work. The Truman Committee backs fullest possible reuse rather than shutting down facilities. It urges selling nonessential plants at cost and preserving employment to avoid mass unemployment.
