LANDING IN JAPAN
MASSIVE PREPARATIONS
Rec. 10.30 a.m
NEW YORK. April 25
It is believed that the Joint Chiefs of Staff have decided to appoint General Mac Arthur supreme commander of the invasion forces against Japan, says the Washington correspondent of the "Christian Science Monitor."
Despite the current carriage of peace-feeler headlines and the talk of defining unconditional surrender, firm military and governmental opinion in Washington is that the final stage of the Pacific war —the invasion.of- the Japanese home islands —is in the making. It is considered likely that the prospect has passed of the Japanese offering acceptable peace terms or of the Allies defining surrender terms acceptable voluntarily by Tokio, and that the massive preparations for invasion are now well advanced. The Japanese are believed to be hoarding their air force to resist the invasion' to the last, and also to be planning a new defensive strategy on the Asiatic mainland. •
