'Continued from In succeeding broadcasts, the Japanese themselves developed a controversy as to what part of the imperial palace was burned, with Premier Kantaro Suzuki reporting to News agency dispatch, he had watched the fire start and that the imperial palace itself had been destroyed. corroborated by a Tokyo radio commentator who said the "imperial palace, the focal point of the Japanese peoples' foremost affection and undying loyalty was destroyed for the most part." Another commentator, however, observed that the "imperial sanctuary, symbol of the nation's sacred spiritual traditions," had "escaped destruction." The flames, fanned by a 70-mile gale, "wrought havoc on the sprawling congested business districts and residential sections of the city," the broadcast said. An imperial headquarters com- munique, issued later, placed the number of Superfortresses taking part at 250, half the actual number involved, and claimed 47 of the raiders were shot down. All fires, the communique asserted, "were mostly extinguished by dawn." San Francisco American Superfortresses struck into the religious as well as political heart of Japan in today's devastating fire raid on Tokyo in a manner which would be impossible in any western country.

For, dating back to 1465, the imperial palace of Emperor Hirohito not only has been the center of political but religious life of the nation as well.
