Japan Writhing. Burning, Will Carry On

GUAM, Aug. 1-(AP)-In terror of their life, the land burning and writhing beneath the greatest bombardment of all times were reflected fully in Jap propaganda broadcasts, which are daily becoming more tense.

"We are enduring the impossible with grinding teeth and clenched fist. When we see enemy planes penetrating our homeland, proudly flying over our heads," cry the Nipponese propagandists.

Another broadcast told how the great majority of Tokyo residents are living underground and "desire to be provided with the minimum amount of goods and services necessary to subsistence."
