Japan has turned down a U.S. offer to house 2,000 quake victims on the Navy aircraft carrier Independence, based in Yokosuka. A Foreign Ministry spokesman said many victims like to return periodically to their damaged homes, and they couldn't do that from the carrier. The government has come under increasing criticism for not accepting many foreign offers of relief. by CNB
