Ankara, Turkey, July 15 (Delayed) (JP) Japan wai des- cribed today by neutral arriv ing from Tokyo as a cold and aomber country whera people with grim faces are tightening their belti because of hardships brought on by the war. The informant, whose name must be withheld, was a young woman of a neutral country. She was one of the first to ar rive in the middle east from Tokyo and she reached Ankara after a 33-day trip across Russia. Siren Sound Oftaa She said she was having lunch In Tokyo when the American bombers attacked, but she paid little attention to the sirens be cause Japanese officials have sounded so many falsa alarms. She said she heard only ma chlneguns firing from the planes and no anti-aircraft guns. Later, she said she knew Japan had been raided because the Japanese gave out no details except to say that American bombs fell In school grounds. (Tokyo is a huge, sprawling city, the city proper covering some 229 square miles, and bombs falling In the industrial auberbs, which were American raiders' targets, might be little noticed In the central district.) She related how foreign dip lomats listened daily to broad casts from San Francisco for de tails of the raid which never were forthcoming. Americans Coafinad The traveler declared men and women In the United State em bassy were confined to their quarters for the first four months and were not allowed to receive visitors. News of the Coral Bea and Midway naval battles were play ed up as great Japanese victor ies, she said.

The people were told, more over, that despite the great Coral Sea and Midway victories, Ja pan still was a long way from winning the war. The people re unable to get outside news.
