BOMBING OF TOKIO
SIX HUNDRED WAR WORKERS KILLED HEAVY DAMAGE IN FACTORY DISTRICT. PLANES FLY OVER PALACE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.45 a.m.) LOURENCO MARQUES, July 24. American journalists who have arrived from Japan say the United States air raid on Tokio in April killed 600 war workers and created an acute internal political crisis, because one raider flew over the Emperor’s Palace, thus officially endangering the Emperor’s life. Two high Army officers are reported to have committed harakiri as a penance. Sweeping changes have been made in the defence command. The raiders concentrated their bombing on a factory district, causing heavy damage.
