F0RRESTAL WARNS
OF JAP TENACITY
Navy Secretary Tells Mid
shipmen Enemy Not
Cracking

ANNAPOLIS, Md WH Sec
rotary of the Navy James Forrestal
said today that the japanese show
no signs of cracking and warned
that this nations full strength must
be thrown into the struggle to de-
feat the enemy.
He told the graduating class of
1,O46 midshipmen at the U. S. Nav
al Academy that the Japanese
would fight with increasing ten
acity and fury as the assault begins
to concentrate on their homeland.
''We have seen evidences of that
fury at Two lima and on Okinawa, "
he said.
, ut will take the full power OF
the tremendous war potential that
we have mustered in the past four
years if we are to secure what I
take it to be the will of this country
the complete, unequivocal, and IN
conditional surrender of japanese
militarism.
The 1915 graduating class was
the. largest in the, 1OO-year history
of the academy.
Forrestal said that when final
victory is achieved 1.-THE nations
that have won it will be faced with
the equally difficult task of Great
ing mechanism to reduce the risk
of future wars
There is no automatic way Of
insuring against war or of guafan-
teeing peace" he said, land I
think it is ulWise to encourage the
accumulation of such expressions.
They tend to diminish the very
watchfulness, care and prudent
craftsmanship which are the real
guarantors of peace"
He said that when peace comes
the United States must retain its
armed force and it's willingness and
ability to make swift use of it when
ever nations such as Japan, Italy
and Germany get into the hands
of outlaws
II assume that the ENed
States Navy will be one Of the great
elements of that power"

Thomas H. Robinson, Kid

WASHINGTON, June g. Up -
President Truman today COMMITTED
the sentence of Thomas H. Rob-
inson, Jr., convicted kidnapper of
Louisville, KY, society matron,
from death in the electric chair
to life Imprisonment.
The Justice Department said the
President acted on the recommen-
dalton of Attorney General Francis
Biddle, who previously had recon-
mended no clemency. The depart
ment said Biddle's reasons for
changing his rec ommendation
were contained in letter to
President Truman. The letter, it
was added, could not be made
public by the Justice Department.
Robinson, whose sentence was
upheld March by the United
States Supreme Court, was await
ing death early next Friday in the
Kentucky State Penintentiary. He
was charged with abducting Mrs.
Alice Speed Stoll for $4,000 ran
some in 1884.
The court. had refused May %
for the second time to reconsider
its seven-to-two decision declining
to interfere with the execution.
President Truman also had de-
clined a few weeks ago to inter-
vene.
Mrs. Stoll was released after six
days. Robinson pleaded guilty in
1896 and was given life.
Then he started a court fight,
had his case reopened and a Fe '
eral court in 1943 held his guilty
plea invalid for lack of counsel.
He was then tried in Western
Kentucky District Court and SEN
fenced to death.
The communication today put him
back in the status of nine years
ago, before he started his court
battle. He will be returned to Al
catraz Prison Immediately, the
Justice Department said.
