Here are some of the posi sible objective* of the raiders: I Tokyo--General staff headquarters; staff college; many barracklargo powder plants; steel work*, engineering works; a few airplane factories; railway junctions; water work* and power stations. Nagoya—Mitsubishi and Alchl airplane works, the largest in Japan. Yokohama Mitsubishi ship--1 yards; gasoline refineries; Ford I plant; electrical equipment factor--1 les; warehouses; Yokosuka naval base about 12 mile* north of city , proper. Kobe — Kawasaki shipyaids (turning out warships); ruhlier plants, docks; warehouses; railway line connecting Osaka-Kobe 1 Industrial area with Inland sea naval base at Kure. The American public- and the enemy—will have la wait until some Indefinite future for details about how the raid was accomplished. The communique did not identify the type of bombers that parthipated. but the Japanese identified them as North American .and Lockheed bomber* — both medium-type, land-based planes. Most speculation on where the attack started ha* centered on the po**ibility the Imtnbers were flown from the docks of carriers, proceeding after th»- attack to some United Nations land base, poeslbly Lishul or Chuchow in China To reach either city 1.350 mile* from Tokyo—planes would have to be launched from carriers not much , more than 7(H) or Mb miles from , the Japanese mainland. The war department's communique did not hide the army's quirt satisfaction over the success of the raid not only as a result of the military damage inflicted but because of the sharp blow to Japan eae morale. The communique told how. as the plane* approached Japan, a propaganda broadcast in English was being transmitted by a Tokyo radio station detailing "the pleasure* of life In Japan and the freedom from fear of Ixinilnng " "Huddenly. this program •«» <ut

Oscar Ewing Will Prosecute Pelley Criminal Sedition Trial To Be Held Indianapolis, May 11— (UFi — Oscar Ewing, assistant < hairman of the national Democratic committee and native Hoosier, will be sent to Indianapolis to prosecute William Dudley Pelley. self-styled head of the silver shirts, for criminal Nedltlon. Ewing wa* designated by Francis Biddle, attorney-general to assist I'. H southern district attorney B. Howard Caughran In preparation of the government's case against Pelley. which Is expected to be presented to the federal grand jury early in June. Pelley wa* arrested by FBI ugents at Darien. Conn , several weeks ago He Is free on )15,000 bond. Appointment of a topflight tiial lawyer to aid in prosecution of Pelley was promtoed last week by Biddle. At the time. Biddle pointed out that selection of a spetial attorney did not reflect on the ability of Caughran. Caughran told reporter* that appointment of Ewing, a native of Greensburg, Ind. was made with his "knowledge and approval." Caughran said that he had been in tontact with the justice department and that he believed the appointment of a special attorney wa* in line with the department's desire to accord the Pelley caee its full and justified attention. “I look forward with satisfaction to association with Mr. Ewing in this important service to the public,” Caughran said. Ewing I* widely known throughout Indiana, and I* recognized a* a competent trial lawyer. Prior to the national Democratic tonvention. he was eastern campaign manager for federal security administrator Paul V. McNutt, who then wa* seeking the presidential nomlnantion. off." the communique said, "and a warning was broadcast In Japanese to tile effect that Tokyo wa* then being I>oml»-<1 by a great numlier of low-flying airplane* which were travelling at terrific speed. The Japanuse announcer stated that these planes were moving too fast to be overtaken. He later reported that three Japanese interceptor planes hud been lost." The communique said that later that afternoon th> Japanese radio reported 8,000 Io t.tum casualties a high number (or such a hit and run type of raid. Then the coinmuniquo continued "The Japanese people were ask ed to pray for rain to extinguish the fires and to decrease the chance for further air raids "4ub*equi:ntly. the tone of the broadcast became les* feverish and It was announced that only hospital*, schools and other point* of no possible mllitury value had Ihcii bombed and that even then the damage had been slight. "Forty-tight hour* after the Tokyo broadcaster reported that the fire* started during the raid were then under control."

CHINESE TROOPS (Continued From Pag* 1) communication lines had been severed and the Chinese said It* fate was "sealed." Mayinyo, 3<) mile* northeast of .Mandalay, definitely was back In Chinese hands and Chinese troops were fighting in Mandalay’s out--skirts, attacking from the east and west Officially, the situation at I-urshio wa* obscure, but Chinese quarters predicted the enemy also would be ousted from that railhead city on the Burma road, 116 mile* 1 below the Chinese border. The Chinese force that retook Maymyo moved north with light- ' nlng speed from the Taunggyi sectoi, 75 mile* below Mandalay, where it had remained since the Japanese launched their major push toward lacshio. Htilwell wa* reported personally in command Chinese military quarters were Itoth ptualed and Jubilant over the sudden ♦ turn of event*. There seemr-d to be no explanation for the f<K>lhardy Japanese drive 25 miles inside the Chinese Irorder where superior Allied troops were waiting. A military spokesman said the Japanese column, "extraordinarily fast moving.” fell into a trap. Moving along the narrow highway over Yunnan mountains and through Salween river gorges, it offered an "Ideal" target for entrenched Chinese artillery. While the Chinese augmented the artillery with flank attack* AVG pilot* struck from the air. The American* began their concentrated attack* Friday, virtually destroying a column attempting to cross the Ralween river east of Chefang.
