NAVY ANNOUNCES
CUTS PLANNED AS
JAPAN C0ILAp5ES

WASHINGTON. May 15-Tenta-
tive Navy plans call for cutting
the nations mighty battle fleet
at least 80 per cent" after Japan's
collapse, Fleet Admiral Ernest j.
King has informed the Senate APP
preparations Committee.
King said, however, report OF
hearings on a Naval appropriations
bill released today discloses, that
before final postwar Navy plans are
completed we must know what the
national policy is to be for the
defense of the United States, for
the defense of the Western Hemi-
sphere, and what commitments the
United States may have in respect
to the maintenance of world peace. :"
King told the committee that the
Navy desired to keep only those
ships that will have real combat
value" adding the Navy was con-
cerred that it be called upon to
maintain too many ships for the
postwar Navy"
Navy Secretary James Forrestal
indicated that the ships to be
strapped probably would include
many which were worn out in OPP
erations.
Forrestal said he would guess"
the japanese have 4,o0o effective
planes, while King asserted the
Japanese have about 20 large de-
stroyers left and not all of those
were operating. They did not tes-
tify on other enemy categories.

HEALTH PROGRAM,
LYNN CANAL AREA,
IS NOW COMPLETED
Mobile Unit Vessel, Those
in Charge, Return 10
Juneau After Trip

The tllst neaIUn program in the
Lynn Canal district has been COM
pleted by the medical staff of the
mobile health unit vessel Hy Gene,
according to Dr. N. Berneta Block,
physician-in-c charge. The Hy Gene
returned to its Juneau headquarters
Sunday.
More than 100 chest X-rays were
made of the residents of Haines
! and Klukwan, and a large program
CT immurizations was carried out.
At Skagway, immunizations were
given pre-school and school chill
children who had not been reached
by previous clinics held locally
1.-The program could not have
been carried out successfully with
out the cooperation of the teachers,
the superintendent of the mission
houses, the townspeople, the Army
personnel and those who received
service Dr. Block said
AT several of the ports the staff
members were able to render en-
ergency medical services to persons
who were i'll or injured at the time.
They were requested to do much
more remedial work than was in
tended when the unit was estab-
lished
1T was not surprising in at least
one community that some of the
people objected strenuously because
the staff did not stay and practice
much more medicine DR.. Block
said M Ht
1t is quite natural for people to
think that with a doctor and nurses
as we'll as equipment in the com
munity, that they should be avail
able for use, and they are within
certain limitations
If we were allowed to practice
medicine it would not only infringe
on the practitioners who have
served the community for some
time, but what is more important,
interfere with the paramount OBJ
jective of the unit, which is the
prevention of disease.
"The services of the staff will
always be available to the sick and
injured persons in the community,
but only on an emergency basis,
We and they must always realize
that prevention of disease and acct
dents is more important and
simpler than cure"
