WAR'S HARDSHIPS

Neutral Arriving From Tokyo
Says Country Cold, Som
- ber Censorship Tight.
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. She added that the
people seemed confused because
the Japanese boasted openly
that they were going to take
Australia within a few days and
when they failed, no explan
ation was given.
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.

clared today that the Swedish
Red Cross ship Stureborg, re
ported sunk in the Mediterra

the assurances.

yesterday that the Stureborg
had been sunk near Cyprus while
on Red Cross duty with the loss
of all but ona of her crew of
20, including 18 Swedes.
The spokesman said full
Investigation would ba made
and "proper representations"
would be addressed to the power
held to blame.
An Informed- British source
said no British planes were
"anywhere in the neighborhood"
when, the vessel sank and that

edly" were responsible.
The Swedish official said the
Stureborg, one of several ships
charted by the Swedish Red

after safe conduct had been as
sured, was to have taken a
cargo of more than 3,000 tons of
wheat.
