Tokyo reported American naval forces were preparing for two moro possible landings.
A growing allied task force, Tokyo told, engaged in a day-long artillery duel yesterday
with Japanese shora batteries guarding Balikpapan, prised oil refining center on southeast
Borneo. A force of 50 warships and transports was reported operating off Balikpapan. Tok
yo said the much tolked-obout invasion was "imminent."
Nipponese broadcasters suggested scouting U. S. naval craft were preparing for another
amphibious assault in the Okinawa area where Yank landing troops added Kume to their
potential invasion bases.
Tokyo reported U. S. minesweepers and destroyers prowled waters around Okinoerabu
island, 40 miles closes to Japan than Okinawa. Enemy broadcasters obviously anticipated
another invasion.
Occupation of Kume Island,: which was taken without a fight, represented a 50-mile
advance from Okinawa toward the Chinese coast. It Is 390 miles southwest of Japan and
the tame distance southeast of Llnhai, newest city on the China coast to fall to General
