Admiral Nimitz Urges
Added Personnel 10
Man Fleet in Crisis
Present Shortage Means
Unreudiness for War,
Navigation Chief Reports

Rear Admiral Chester W. Nimitz,
chief of the Bureau of Navigation,
in his annual report to the Sec
retary of the Navy today warned
that the fleet is undermanned to
point which is far short of the
number which should be on board
at all times, and particularly during
this emergency"
Covering the 1910 fiscal year, the
report added that during critical
periods the numbers on board should
be increased to the maximum that
can be housed"
He recommended compliments be
increased to lis per cent to provide
adequately trained crews to man the
expanding Navy. Ships now have
an average of 81 per cent compile
ment, he said.
"Unreadiness" Is Price.
I'm time of peace the Navy may
operate with shortage of personnel,
but the price of such shortage
should be clearly understood as
being unreadiness for war;" he
declared.
He recommended that at least a
disappointment basis be eStab-
lished at the Naval Academy to meet
requirements Of the growing fleet.
This has been authorized by Con-
gress but no funds have been pro-
vided
The natural interest in national
defense resulting from the inter-
national situation has resulted not
only in a greatly increased number
of appointments and enlistments in
the Naval Reserve but in greatly
increased requests for training and
active duty, Admiral Nimitz re-
ported.
$4,000 Enlisted Men.
The Navy started the fiscal year
with 110,lOO men and ended it with
las 900 men. he said. At present
the Navy has approximately 18l 900
enlisted men and by the end OF
the year expects to recruit 10000
more men.
1t was during the last year that
the naval enlistment period was in
creased to six years. With the
fighting efficiency of the fleet de-
pendent on thoroughly trained men,
it was decided to lengthen the en-
listment to insure maximum skill.
Discipline among enlisted men
has improved and discharges de-
creased, he said. Disciplinary dis
charges dropped 2 per cent under
the previous year OF the entire
personnel only 422 men were de-
clared deserters during the r.
month period.
1t was recommended that addi-
tional funds be provided the Hydro
graphic Office to help make this
country independent of other ma
tions' charts During the present
emergency and for some time there
after, recent and prospective in
creases in personnel will be used
entirely in meeting current de-
mands," he said. The European war
has reduced the chart supply.
Similarly, Admiral Nimitz sug-
gested an expansion of facilities at
the Naval Observatory here. For
eign developments point clearly to
the necessity of this country build
ing "a sufficiently large astronomical
staff to perform all the work itself"
he said.

Chamber Holds
 Noon Luncheon

The Northwestern flask g Chamber of Commerce held a monday meeting at the Nevada Grill yesterday. The Secretary, MT. A. Polet, reported that the action which was taken against the bills on colonization were be ginning to show results. It appear ed that so far little headway could be made in regard to the bill concerning federal housing. News telegramS received by the Nome Nugget in relation to the freight rate increases were read before the Chamber and referred to the transportation committee. Further information is expected as the hearing of the Maritime Commission progresses.
 A report by the chairman of the mail committee, Mr. T. O. Givan, disclosed the work done by the Chamber in order to have the mail which had been routed down the Yukon brought into Nome by plane. This action with the cooperation received from MT. Burdick of the Reindeer Ser vice resulted in the mail being brought to Nome gratis from Fair banks by the Wien Alaska Air lines and from Holy Cross by the MiroW Air Service. The mail com mittee is working on a plan for twelve-month mail contract be tween Fairbanks and Nome, han ding first, second, third and fourth class matter, letting the boats handle the parcel post which the airplanes cannot han de. That would give Nome anc Seward Peninsula the same type of service as in the winter. MT Givan stated that the committee would need the cooperation ot the Chamber, the town, and the operators all over the Seward Peninsula.
 Secretary Polet announced tha substantial returns in dues hac been brought about by the let ters which had been recently mailed.

CONTINUING
Rumor Circulated that Jap.
dnese May Abandon
Port OF Canton

LONDON, Sept. 25.-The French
radio at Vichy broadcasts report
that fighting continues in Indo-
China, and added the surprising
statement that the Japanese may
evacuatc the great South China
port of Canton.
A communique said that border
clashes continued in the Dong Dang
region, despite denials from Tokyo.
The French said the Japanese
marched into northern Tongking
Province, instead of landing troops
by sea at Haiphong under terms of
the Franco-Japanese agreement.
The communique said new diplo-
matte exchanges were underway but
fighting had not ceased.
The report of the possible evacua-
ton of Canton was credited to For
eign Minister 'Baudoin, who said it
was one of the reasons the Japanese
had asked for air fields and troop
bases in Indo-China.

GOLD FUTURE
50UND,5AYS
B. D. STEWART
Commissioner Of Mines Is
Speaker at Meeting Of
Federal Employees

1t is utterly needless for the peo-
pie of the United States and Alaska
to be concerned about the future
value of gold, Territorial Commits
sioner of Mines B. D. Stewart de-
clared today in an address before a
luncheon meeting of the National
Federation of Federal Employees.
Stewart said he was firmly con-
WINGED that gold will remain in a
commanding position internationally
no matter what the outcome of the
war.
The feeling of uneasiness about
gold, which Stewart said he had
encountered even in Alaska, is Who'll
ly the result of propaganda issuing
from the axis powers. he declared.
Africa and Russia
The Commissioner said that even
if Germany wins the war, Hitler
will not throw away one of his
greatest prizes, the South African
gold fields. Nor will Russia, Stew
art said, sit idly by and watch its
great gold resources rendered value
less.
Gold, said Stewart. is the only
substance ever found satisfactory
