With Occupation Force

ABOARD THE USS COLORADO
IN TOKYO BAY - Delayed -
Ralph F. Burtka, IS, seaman, first
class, USNR, son of Mrs. Antoin-
cite Butrka, 1O51 Eureka avenue,
steamed into Tokyo Bay aboard
this ship to support the occupation
of Japan.
The Colorado, whose crew had
taken her through ten invasion
operations to help bring the final
capitulation Of Japan, had been
near Tokyo before. She sailed with
American and British warships in
to Sagami Bay, Is miles from To-
kyo, to support the first landings
Of airborne troops at AtSugi air
field. That operation was in prep
aration for the arrival of General
of the Army Douglas Macarthur
to make the occupation official.
The Colorado poured thousands
of tons of hot steel into Jap shore
installations in the pre-invasion
bombardments that gave Allied
forces bastions on Japan's outer
rim. She helped at Tarawa, the
Philippines, Okinawa, and in other
lesser operations for four years.
From the decks of the battleship
may now be seen Fujiyama, the
towering volcano that stands as
one of Japan's famous landmarks;
Tokyo, Yokohama, the naval base
of Yokosuka, and other cities with
dead smokestacks and debris from
Allie attacks. Nearby lies the Jap
battleship Nagate, one of the last
remaining enemy fleet units that
went down under bombardment by
planes from the 3rd Fleet.

and Hospital Councils have rem
dered invaluable services to the
Michigan Veterans Vocational
school at Pine Lake. Many COM
forts now enjoyed by the veteran
students were made possible by the
Red Cross.
AS the rate Of discharges steps
up mounting social problems face
the communities Of Michigan.
Again the philosophy of the Mich
igan Plan of Veteran Assistance
proves its soundnesS. Only by all
agencies working together in har-
mony can the problems be success
fully met.
Here the Red Cross plays an
important role. The Home Service
section makes available assistance
to dependents of veterans, assists
veterans in preparing and filing
claims against the Veterans Ad-
ministration, assists in making
family and social adjustments, ex-
ponds fund for relief and in many
other ways makes the road back
easier for the veteran.
In addition to the many serv-
ices rendered to veterans, their
families and dependents, the Amer
lean Red Cross ranks in first place
as the friend of service personnel.
Their activities in this field of en-
deavor run the gamut Of need for
assistance from the family hearth
to the battle field and prison camp.

with victory ours on all fighting
fronts, men enliSting in the Navy
now will find unparalleled opport-
tunities for advancement" Comdr.
Flechtner says. Service in the
peacetime Navy offers pleasant as
well as gainful duty, with many
features necessarily impossible I'M
der the wartime conditions of the
past several years. Among these
are expanded recreational facil-
tiles. unlimited range of travel, and
generous shore liberty and annual
leaves. In addition, Navy Schools,
acknowledged to be among the fin
est in the country, will continue
training men for responsible posi-
tions, particularly in the Regular
Navy"
Comdr. Flechtner noted that the
Nays peacetime requirements in
many petty officer ratings will be
several times greater than the
number Of men remaining in these
trades and professions after demo-
bilization under the point system.
Thus men enliSting now will find
the field wide open for rapid ad-
vancement to high-paying ratings
in all branches of the naval service.
With the end of hostilitieS, the
Navy is stresSing the enlistment of
single men, II to 80, in the Reg
ular Navy. The term of Regular
Navy enlistment has been reduced
from six years to four, and in the
light of wartime experience, phys
ical requirements have been sub
stantially lowered, particularly in
regard to vision, height and weight.
Naval Reserve enlistmentS for 2, 3
and years are open to men II
through 81, regardless of marital
status.

While there were indeed major

be intended mainly for propaganda
purposes. There were no official
military statements from Moscow to
support such sweeping statements.
One Moscow broadcast, in Rus

A similar broadcast, aimed at Ger

account that said "the German front
has collapsed from the Carpathians
to the Baltic Sea-"
It was broadcast by German
general captured by the Russians
and was similar to many broadcasts
made by captured German generals
over a period of months. Many have
