TOKYOJ2ENTER (Continued From Page One) carriers, would send the attack into a second day today. However, there was no word to this effect from either Pacific fleet headquarters or radio Tokyo up to mid-morning. At least 1,000 — and probably more—tons of demolition and fire bombs were cascaded on Tokyo in the twin raids yesterday. To gether, they constituted the heaviest assault ever made on Tokyo, one twice as heavy as the heaviest German raid ever made on London during the height of the 1940-41 blitz and approaching in weight those now being made on Germany by .the Allies. Crewmen who manned the greatest armada of B-29s ever «ent aloft said they laid their bombs “light down (lie main street” of Tokyo. The capital “must be burning furiously," they said on their return. The B-29s did most of their bombing with precision instruments through clouds that obscured the ground. No fighters ami only light anti-aircraft fire was encountered. All returned safely. Some of the giant bombers became separated from the main force and bombed alternative targets, including the big aircraft center of Nagoya and the town of Shingu, southeast of Osaka. There was no immediate word from Pacific fleet headquarters on results of the carrier-based phase of the assault. It was likely that Mitscher's task force, presumably only 160 to 300 miles off the Japanese coast, would remain under radio silence until it reaches safer waters. All signs indicated that, the air offensive against Tokyo has entered a new stage that ultimately will reduce the capital to a state of devastation rivalling that of Berlin and other German cities. 0 BAD WEATHER (Continued Fro-iu Page One) gry Republicans and a heated argument was forecast In the senate. Minority Demomats might wield the deciding vote on some liquor questions which split the Republican ranks, but the main points of the administration plan to take over the licensing powers and thus control the state’s liquor business apparently were assured ol approval. Many suggestions of the state election law codification comniis sion were slated for approval during the week before the bill goes to Governor Gates for signature but the major recommendations were in modified form or rejected entirely. ■ o Automobile License Deadline Wednesday Indianapolis, Fdb. 26 — (UP) — State police superintendent.
