GUAM, Sunday, April 15-Maj. Gen. Curtis E. LeMay declared after
Saturday's greatest raid on Tokyo by B-29's of his 21st Bomber Command
that destruction of Japan's industry by air blows alone was possible.
"But we would have to have many more B-29's than we do at present,"
he added. The "very great strength" of Superfortresses which hit the
Japanese capital with fire bombs shortly after midnight yesterday prob-
ably numbered as many as 400.
Crew members reported they left great fires in the five-mile square
area of arsenals and large and small industries northwest of the imperial

Last night , (Friday) crowds of
people gathered out of curiosity in
Lafayette Park, just across the street
from the White House and remained
there for hours watching for any
sign of activity within. The build-
ing was partially lighted on the east
side of the first floor and, other than
a distant view of some persons on the
porch, nothing could be observed.
Earlier in the evening the entire
street in front of the President's
home on Pennsylvania Ave. had been
blocked off in order to make prep-
arations for the morning.
Bishop Dun Officiates
At the funeral services held in the
East Room of the White House this
afternoon, Bishop Angus Dun of
Washington administered the order
for the burial of the dead of the
Episcopal Church.
After leading in prayer, Bishop Dun
repeated the late President's famous
words: "The only thing we have to
fear is fear itself" and added, "I am
sure (President Roosevelt) would still
wish that we should go forward
without fear, without fear of the
future, without fear of our allies
and friends and without fear of our
own insufficiencies."
"Eternal Father, Strong to Save,"
a hymn reflecting President Roose-
velt's love of the sea, and "Faith to
Our Fathers" were sung, led by a
vested choir.
