TOKYO RADIO'S OFFER
FACILITIES TO ALLIED PRESS Rec. 11.30 a.m. MANILA, Aug. 24. The Japanese, whose radio Tokyo consistently scooped the war correspondents at American Pacific headquarters, offered to-day to extend the fullest facilities to the Allied Press after the occupation. Thus develops one of the strangest situations of the dizzy finale of the war, whereby the correspondents found the enemy radio always their most potent competitor in reporting major events, says the Associated Press correspondent.
Outlines of General Mac Arthur's landing plans and dates of occupation were announced here only because Tokyo radio has been broadcasting plans while the American correspondents at Manila sat helplessly by, unable to cable their stories.
