|Cut in Alexandra
Torpedo Production
Ito Reduce Personnel

A Navy order curtailing torpedo
production at the Alexandria Naval
Torpedo Station will release an UNI
determined number of workers for
transfer to othef war industries,
Capt. r. B. Sirnons, station COM
mander. notified employees yeste2-
day. He added that the station
would get a considerable volume of
experimental work.
Capt. Simons said the order,
which also will affect torpedo sta
tons at Newport, R. l., and Forest
Park, ILL.,, will become effective in
midsummer. At present, he said,
it is not possible to determine the
number of employees to be released
by the Alexandria station.
The Navy said the cutback was
ordered after it was determined that
feet requirements for a certain type
torpedo had been fully met. The
cutback will be gradual, it was said,
to lease the effect on the employees
and to expedite their diversion into
other war production"
To Keep Station Open.
Capt. Simons said the Ordnance
Bureau has given assurance that the
Alexandria station would be kept
open in view of its splendid record of
achievement. The development of
new weapons and the ranging and
overhauling of experimental type
torpedoes from other stations is ex-
pected to supply a great volume Of
work for the Alexandra station, he
said.
Capt. Simons said an effort will
be made to transfer personnel to
other agencies. The commander eX-
pressed his appreciation for the
loyalty of the employees and said
the notice was given with regret at
the temporary inconvenience it will
cause workers who must be trans
ferred.
Production Tripled.
In the last four years, the pro-
duction of the Alexandria station
has more than tripled and the cost
of torpedo has been halved. The
station recently received the fifth
star on its Navy &c" pennant, put
ting it in the highest class Of pro-
duction excellence.
Torpedo station employees recently
asked the help Of city officials and
influential residents in an effort to
keep the Alexandria station open.
The City Council last week agreed
to pass a resolution to be sent to
Virginia's congressional representa-
tives indicating the. city's desire to
retain the station, and it is planned
to invite Gov. Darden and other
State officials to tour the station
to enlist their interest.

Charles F. Neergaard, New Yorl
hospital consultant, told a Senate
District Subcommittee today.
Senator Tydings, Democrat, O,
Maryland, who presided, called or
the public to propose methods o.
helping to finance such a big prof.
est, so that the legislation woulc

a bill for new center.
Mr.. Neergaard estimated that the

hospital of that size might be con.
structed for $4,000 900, If a site were
available.

Charles H. Drayton, president Of

GUAM. Aug. 2l.-Rear Admiral
Forrest C. Sherman, reporting today
on the Manila Conference with jap
anese envoys. said they had con-
f1rmed what the United States Navy
had long known-that the japanese
Navy virtually had ceased to exist
The admiral, deputy chief of staff
and Admiral Nimitzs representa- tive
at Manila, implied there can be no
broad surrender of the japanese
fleet because there isn't any.
I'VE have known for many
months, AS result of the destruc-
ton of the japanese warships and
shipping by the increased air at
tacks, that the japanese have been
brought to defeat on the sea. al
though they still have a strong
army and very considerable air
force" he said.
Lone Battleship Remains.
Beginning early in July the
Pacific Fleet embarked on its main
objective OF destroying the japanese
fleet. At the same time the
Strategic Air Forces accelera ted
their attacks on Japan.
Our cinforma ton and photo
reconnaissance of returning pilots
show the enemy has been defeated
because of the destruction of the
fleet and attacks from the air"
That was confirmed by the jap
anese emissaries, Admiral Sherman
said.
At the start of the war Japan had
II battleships Now it has /, heavily
damaged and from which the crew
has been removed.

2 are left af1oat, while the original

still in commission.
Only Is Submarines Left.
The Japanese feet of 140 sub
marines has been reduced to Is, the
admiral said, plus former German
submarines. which possibly were
transferred before We day.
The situation in which one of
the major military powers of the
world is brought to defeat without
defeat Of its Army is unparalleled
in history and creates problems
which have to be solved without
the guidance of past experience, !"
Admiral Sherman explained.
Crews have been removed from
japanese ships in port. Sherman
said, largely because of an acute
shortage of fuel.
MY personal impression from
talks with the Japanese naval rep
resentatives, Admiral Sherman re-
lated, was that there is very little
food and an extreme gasoline short
age in Japan. The transportation
system there is in bad shape. It
appears that the entire economic
structure was seriously affected by

abroad because of the widespread
destruction of hospitals and medical
schools and casualties among ply

said, for American doctors killed

for the home front doctors who died
during the war.

6S the ASSOCIATED PreSs.
Tert OF the joint japanese
government and imperial head
quarters coDln,unique today on
Allied occupation OF Japan fol-
Ions.
The Allied forces will carry out
their landings in Japan from August
rs. at which time air-borne units
will land at Atsugi, while from Au-
gust % further landings from war
ships and transports will be ef-
fected in the Yokosuja area. '
Meanwhile the imperial army and
navy forces in Kanagawa prefecture
and in southwestern area of Boso
Peninsula will be transferred i'm
mediately. A sufficient strength of
police force, comprising japanese
police and gendarmerie, will be sta
toned in areas from which army
and navy forces are to be with
drawn, in order to maintain peace
and order
At this time, the point We wish
to emphasize particularly is that the
landing of the Allied forces will be
carried out peacefully and in friend
ly manner in accordance with ar
rangements made with the Allied
powers and under complete arrange
ment made by Japan. Therefore,
the people, especially those civilians
and government workers in affected
areas, must not create unnecessary
apprehension. and it is necessary
that they continue to maintain
order as in normal times and carry
on with their work.
Furthermore, the government will
provide instructions to city mayors.
village heads and town assembly
heads and the civilians in general
via newspapers and radio.
l. The Japanese Army and Navy,
as stated earlier. will carry out
rapid transfer movements from
these areas: consequently, the use
OF railways by general passengers
and those who ride to their work in
the affected areas will be prohibited
for the time being. Those who ride
to their work, even though they are
government workers, who cannot
report to work because of this re-
striction, may stay home.
2. Following the landing of the
Allied forces and withdrawal of i'm
perial army and navy forces, activ-
tiles OF the government machinery
In general and public organizations
will be continued as in normal times.
Particularly the responsibility over
the food distribution and other mat
ters relative to the securing of the
peoples livelihood will be fully as
sumed by the government and pub

lie organizations. so there is no need
to feel worried. Moreover, those
who work in distributing foods, ir
particular, must continue theil
work
3. In regards to the supplying Of
living quarters and food to the Alice
landing forces. the army and thu
government will assume full re.
sponsibility: there will be no direct
contact between the general public
and the Allied landing forces. We
emphasize this point.
4. In accordance with the situa-
tions which may arise, the govern
nlent and the local authorities will
issue necessary instructions. Re-
sponsible government and civilian
leaders should carry these instruc-
tions thoroughly and at the same
time take active part in leading the
citizens in general.
