legislation approved by other COM
mittees; that conference commit
tees be limited to consideration of
specific legislation which is in dis
agreement; that more hearings be
held before joint committees; that
legislation be more intelligibly writ

of any committee be given the right
to have the full House pass on

the House calendar despite an un-
favorable majority report.
The joint committee will resume

ing communications.
The Navy chief said he had come
reluctantly to the conclusion thai
a monopoly controlling radio, cables
telephone and other American
communication facilities abroad was
vital to postwar economy and mill
tary security.
Mr.. Forrestal said in response te
a question from Chairman Wheeler
that it was technical" question
whether commercial facilities fol
the movement of international
news should be exempted from the
proposal.
He said the consolidation should
be mandatory" and embrace al
facilities abroad under a new pri-
vately-owned corporation. The Gov
eminent, he said, should not be per-
mitted to own any part of it, but
confine its interest to guidance ir
the interest of economy and mill
tary security.
The corporation should not have
any foreign capital and should be
prohibited from engaging in any
other business, he continued.
The Navy Secretary said virtually
every other country in the world
either owns or controls their COM
munication facilities abroad.
Outlining the Navy's plan in more
detail, Rear Admiral Joseph R. Red
man said the proposed consolidation
should take in all forms of COM
munication in the international field,
including radio and cables.
Admiral Redman, director of Naval
communications, argued that Con-
gress could fix the rules for the oper-
ating monopoly. which he said
should be privately owned and pri-
Vately managed.

This was the first carrier strike
OF the war on Kyushu, site of the
huge Yawata steel works and other
vital plants, and the third on the
Japanese homeland in little more
than month.
Carrier planes probably equaled
or exceeded the B-29s 2,500-ton
bomb load. They struck Kyushu in
waves for eight hours Sunday and
renewed the attack for at least 51a
hours today.
Tokyo Claims Sinkings.
Totally without confirmation,
Tokyo claimed pilots of the Japa-
nese Kamikaze (suicide) special at
tack corps sank five of Admiral
Mitscher's ships-one battleship, one
carrier, one cruiser or carrier and
two destroyers-and damaged nine
others. The enemy said seven of
the damaged ships were carriers;
two unidentified. Tokyo also claimed
46 carrier planes were shot down.
A Domei News Agency broadcast
claimed four B-20s raiding Nagoya
today were shot down and 80 others
damaged.
Another Domei dispatch reported
"a number of medium sized planes
bombed Hachijo Island in the Izu
group, 200 miles south of Tokyo, yes

Fifth Strike in Nine Days.
Today's second mission over Ma
goya was carried out by the largest
force Of B-29s yet sent against
Japan. Super Fort pilots said the
early morning sky was red with the
glow of fires sweeping over the city.
The Super Fort strike was the
fifth in nine days against Japan's
four chief industrial centers. The
series began with 300 sky giants
cascading 1900 tons of bombs on

Ability of the 21st Bomber Com

to step up the size of the raiding
