Missouri, South Dakota
And Iowa Among
Ships Off Yokohama
Py the Associated Press.


TOKYO BAY, Aug. 29.-Ad-
miral Nimitz and members OF
his staff arrived in Tokyo Bay
in two seaplanes this afternoon
The Coronado, carrying the COM
mander in chief of the Pacific Fleet
landed at 2:11 pm, Tokyo time
all am, Eastern War time). The
party boarded the battleship South
Dakota, which will be Admiral
Nimitz's headquarters here.
The fleet admiral's five-star flag
was hoisted over the ship at
2:26 pm.
The seaplanes TAXED around the
South Dakota while half-dozen
speedboats stood by to help transfer
the admiral and his staff. Admiral
Nimitz went aboard the South Da-
kota Immediately and presumably
summoned Admiral Halsey and his
subordinate admirals to con-
ference.
Admiral Nimitz will sign for the
United States at Sundays japanese
surrender ceremonies.
The 45,000-ton battleship Missouri
Admiral Halsey's flagship, her sister
ship the Iowa and other big war
ships of the Sd Fleet were anchored
off Yokohama, the port city fol
Tokyo-with the Tokyo skyline WIS.,
ible to the north.
The parade of American nava
might ended at a point which Ad-
miral Halsey has said should be
Americas most western naval base
Across the roof of large Yokohama
factory building is Japanese
painted sign reading: Three cheers
for the United States Navy ano
Army
The battlewagons, including also
Admiral Sir Bruce Fraser's British
flagship, the Duke of York, made
their historic entry into the bay
past 116 neutralized enemy coastal
guns TO prepare for the massive
sea borne landings at Yokosuka.
Plainly visible from the decks
of the warships are many factory
buildings blackened and Quilted ir
bombing raids by carrier planes
and Super Fortresses at Yokohama
Surprisingly, Yokohama resi-
dences appeared almost undamagec
in the most readily visible areas
testifying to the accuracy of Amer
lean bombardiers during heavy raids
of recent months.
Down the bay from Yokohame
lies the Japanese battleship tlas
Nagato, apparently beached. Close
by at the Yokosuka naval base 6
cruiser is in dry dock. Other navy
work apparently has been under
way. Buildings at Yokosuka appear
to be fairly intact.
In the distance to the north
through powerful binoculars can be
seen the skyline of Tokyo, which il
approximately 20 miles from the
Yokohama anchorage.
The Sd Fleet warships have chosen
an anchorage used by large ships
even in peacetime.
Along the miles of water front
japanese activities appear to have
been suspended. Only one of many
factory smokestacks is belchine
smoke.
Across Miura Peninsula in Sagami
Bay remain many other ships of the
Sd Fleet-also two japanese subma-
rines spotted off Northern Honshu
and brought in by American prize
crews.
There is no evidence anywhere OF
trouble. 1t was such a peaceful
anchorage that soon after it was
achieved the call went out over the
loudspeaker system:
"Sweepers, man your brooms
Sweep clean fore and aft"
The Missouri, aboard which the
surrender will be signed in the bay
Sunday, made the entry at 7:0e
pm. (6:08 o'clock Tuesday night
Eastern war time)
She sailed in from Sagami Bay

from Gen. Short showing that he
was taking precautions only against

His admitted lack of knowledge
of the condition of readiness of the
Hawaiian command during the
period of November to December
z, 1941.
In summation this board said
1T appears that the issue between
the United States and Japan was
precipitated before the Army and
Navy could prepare themselves to
follow through on the consequences
thereof and that coordination and
cooperation between the State,
War and Navy departments lacked
effectiveness at least in this re-
spect."
The board also declared that the
War Department lacked organiza-
tion for war; lacked adequate pro-
cedure under which to advise the
Hawaiian Department and to con-
troll its action and said further that
it had not given the department
the information that it had of the
worsening of the international sit
uation and had not taken adequate
and prompt action on vital infor-
nation" which it had.
HullS Role Reviewed.
The report added that these re-
sponsibilities in no way mitigate"
those of Gen. Short as commanding
general of the Hawaiian Depart,
ment, but they do add others to
the list of those responsible.

Rev.. Simmons
Leaving City

Rev. Henry G. Simmons. pastor
of the Brown Chapel OF the A. NJ.
e. Church for over six years, has
been assigned to the pastorate OF
the Community A. NJ r. Church
in Grand Rapids. He will begin
his duties there Sunday, but will
not leave the city until the latter
part of the month.
Rev. Simmons came to Npsilanti
in September of 1898. He found
the church in a very dilapidated
condition, heavily in debt and with
a small membership. He started
at once raising money to pay off
bills. After completing this. the
church members, under his leader
ship, put cement floors in the base
ment, plastered the ceiling and
painted the entire downstairs.
New furnaces were installed in
both the church and parsonage. In
the next year, new roof was put
on the church and after that audi
forum redecorating was begun.
The walls were plastercd and tint
ej. The woodwork and pews were
vanished. a hardwood floor was
laid and the pulpit and altar were
carpeted. New windows were in
stalled and choir chairs purchased.
Last year the church again found
it advisable to replace their two
furnaces.
Today, as he leaves it, the church
is completely out of debt, there1s
rooney in the treasury and the
membership has increased from SO
to 3O2.
Rev. Simmons has preached at
100 funerals, baptized so persons
and performed eight marriages
here.
~ Rev. Simmons played a very &C
tive part in civic affairs. He'is
an officer in the Masonic Lodge.
patron Of the Eastern Stars and
was president of the Ministerial
Association. He was also chair
man of the Willow Run committee
CT Ypsilanti council Of churches,
treasurer OF Carver Community
Center and he was responsible for
securing employment for numerous
members of his race.
Rev. Simmons will be succeeded
by Pastor Alfred Knowles, Albion.
Michigan. who will preach his first
sermon Sunday morning. Pastor
Knowles was minister OF the
Whitaker church four years ago
so he is not entirely unknown to
this community.
