Loss of naval ships will be an

a rule information concerning dam
age to vessels which cannot be re-
paired will not be made public, be-
cause that may be of help to the
enemy, Secretary of the Navy For

The Nays policy toward this
news was made known In broad out
line at conference yesterday be-
tween the Secretary and group OF

Mr.. ForreStal said that the loss
of all ships up to January had

He told the editors, incidentally
that those ships went down in a

One reason for withholding in

tary Forrestal explained, is that the
extent OF the damage and the time
required for repair is not even known
to the Navy at the time a ship comes
in.
Therefore, it's not known to the
Japanese the Secretary said
Looking back at our side, what we
are trying to find out is how much
the Japs have left to fight with as
of a given moment. A lot of ships
look as if they have been sunk. We
know from our own efforts to eval-
uate what they have to oppose
Halsey and Kinkaid in the Philip
pine area that you don't know
unless the enemy gives you specific
announcement. For that reason. we
will never tell until the war is over
what ships were damaged or the ex-
tent Of that damage-except in gen.
eral terms. And that's the reason
for that.
The Secretary pointed out that
deferring the announcement of ships
sunk occasionally was sound, policy.
He cited the battle of Savo Island
August 8, 1912, when three Ameri-
can heavy cruisers and one Aus
tralian were lost.
Japs Weren't Sure.
The Japs actually weren't sure
with any precision what they sank
