WASHINGTON, July 13 - The conquest of strategic Saipan Island in the western Pacific cost the United States 15,053 American cas- ualties; 2,213 missing, 2,259 killed, and 11,148 wounded, Secretary of Navy Robert V. Forrestal an- nounced today.
 @The total is the highest of any single ground action in the Pa cific, but was far exceeded by losses inflicted on the Japanese garrison, of which 11,948 have al ready been buried.
 Forrestal said that probably 95 percent" of the defending force, estimated at more than 10000, died in the futile defense.
 Saipan Island is within bombing range of Tokyo, and is already being used by American fighter planes
 Forrestals report followed the an- nouncement, by Admiral Chester w. Nimitz in Pearl Harbor, that Jap anese prisoners of war in Saipan already exceeded 1000. That is also record for any single campaign in the Pacific.
