Knox Believes Japs>
Have Recalled Fleet
To Home Waters
BY the Associated Press.

=
Secretary Of the Navy Knox be-
lieves the Japanese fleet possibly has
withdrawn either to its home waters
or to the Philippines.
His opinion was given yesterday at
q news conference in discussing a
Pacific Fleet, announcement which
said that few enemy ships were
found at Saipan, In the Marianas,
when an American task force raided
there after having attacked the
major enemy naval base at Truk.
Mr.. Knox also said he considered
1t amazing" that although Japa-
nese planes attacked the American
task force all night of Saipan they
failed to hit a single United States
vessel.
He said this was a tribute to
American antiaircraft as well as to
the ability Of ship commanders in
disposing their ships under attack.
The fact that 81 planes were de-
stroyed on the ground he interpreted
as an indictment Of the Japanese
command, although he agreed there
was . possibility the planes might
have sbeen grounded for refueling.
Another possibility, he said, was the
falling OF N the skill Of Japanese
pilots.
To inquiries as to the failure Of
the enemy fleet to make an appear
ance, he said he could draw from 1t
only two conclusions-first, that the
Japanese don't want to meet the
American forces and. second, that
they are waiting until we are widely
extended"

To illustrate the purpose of hi;
bill, Senator Hawkes. said that If the

take over half of the State of New
Jersey for military purposes, and
kept on holding that property after
the war" it would seriously affect
the tax yield of the State and its
subdivisions. He said he had in
