SAYS Britain Will Use
Full Strength on Japs
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, July 23.-Lord Beaver
brook, publisher Of the London
Daily Express, stated in personal
letter published yesterday in the
Detroit Free Press that Britain s
full resources would be employed in
the battle with Japan.
"You may rest assured" Lord
Beaverbrook told John s. Knight,
publisher of Knight Newspapers,
Inc, that we have no intention of
reserving the defeat of Japan to the
Americans"
Lord Beaverbrook'S letter was a
reply to an open letter written by
Mr.. Knight and printed in the Free
Press July Is.
Mr.. Knight had said that anti
British feeling in the United States
was rising. He cited two factors
knowledge that Britain's forces In
France and Germany were smaller
than American forces, and belief
Britain was not making an all-out
effort against Japan.
Cites Smaller Population.
Lord Bsaverbrook, who is Lord
Privy Seal in the Churchill Gov
ernment, answered that the British
war effort must be measured
against the population of the
United Kingdom, As millions, less
than one third of the U. S. A."
He asserted war casualties of
the British Commonwealth were
1,427 900 at the end of May, l945,
the figures for Britain herself being
$4,000" He said at about that
time American casualties were
986, ,ooo."
The publisher, one of Mr.,
Churchill'S most intimate collabo-
rators, said on D day I'VE had nine
and a half per cent of our popul-
alton in the armed forces
while the United States then had
eight and half per cent ."
On D day, he stated Britain
and Canada contributed to the as
sault on the Normandy beaches
manpower equal to the Americans" ."
Lord Beaverbrook added, 1T is
true that, as time wore on, the
American element in the liberation
army gradually became predomi-
nant." He also said that Britain
took fair share" in the critical
and even decisive" air lombard
ment of the Reich.
Will Fight Japs.
Referring to the war against
Japan, the Briton told MT. Knight
you may be sure that We shall
take an ever-increasing part, bring
ing every available resource to bear
upon the outstanding purpose Of the
war"
He said it would be complete
error to suppose that there will be
any easing off in the British war
against Japan if this Conservative
government is succeeded by a So
cialist government" after July 26.
He acknowledged that Britain
fought the Far Eastern war with
marginal military resources" until
Germany was defeated. This was
in accordance with the agreed over
all strategy"
He pointed out that already Brit
ish warships have taken part in the
bombardment of Japan" and said
1.-The main fighting strength Of the
British navy began to move to the
Pacific, with everything required to
support it, as long ago as last De-
cember"
He said every warship I'VE can
man" with as much of the strength
of the bomber command as can be
deployed will be "on the job"

Starts on First Trip;
Veterans Pleased
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CAMP KILMER, N. j., July o.
Guaranteed white sheets and "a
hours in bed, 585 combat veterans
left here last night for Texas in the
War Departments experimental
sleep shift" train.
The half-Pullman, half-coach
train was scheduled to arrive at
Fort Sam Houston, early Wednes-
day, where the veterans, all members
of the 44th and I'd Divisions, would
be processed for 3O-day furloughs
before redeployment to the Pacific.
Maj. Samuel N. Farley, with the
troops as an observer for the War
Department, said the test run was
devised after veterans complained
they were forced to travel from coast
to coast in coaches with S and 6
to each double seat.
ITS only an experiment, however,
in how we might provide adequate
troop transportation" Maj. Farley
added.
Pullman Berths Shared.
Each veteran was assigned to-
either a Pullman or a coach car.
Those in Pullmans, sleeping two to
lower and one in the upper berth,
will remain in the Pullmans for
the first "a hours of the trip. Then
they will take over the coaches and
the coach occupants will shift to
the Pullmans. The berths will be
remade with fresh linen at the end
of "a hours
The 16-car test train carried eight
Pullmans. four on each end of the
two centrally-located kitchen cars,
five coaches and a baggage car.
BEFORE the train pulled out, Sergt.
Cecil Kirkland of Houston and
Sergt. William Yoakum Of Spur,
Tex, were taken on tour Of the
Pullmans.
Veterans Are EIated.
Clean sheets, hooray," Sergt.
Kirkland yelled. The first I've seen
since I've been in the Army"
Sergt. Yoakum said he thought
the Pullman-coach idea was fine"
and added, wed be satisfied to get
the floor, as long as we knew we
were going home"
Sergt. Billy w. Click, Kilgore, Tex,
said, that bed really looks nice"
Those white sheets" chimed in

Pfc. Carl J. Kessler, Houston, ad-
mitted, its more than we expected" "
First Combination Train.
1t. Col Ray Davis, chief of trans
portation at Camp Kilmer, who
supervised the departure, explained
that heretofore trains were either
all Pullman, or all coaches, and that
the sleep-shift train was the first
combination ever used for troop
movements.
Col. Davis said the berths would
be kept made up throughout the
trip and would not be oisassembled,
thus assuring each man "a hours
in the Pullman, and "a hours in the
coach"
The test train, he said, carried
regular standard Pullman equip
ment.
Each three servicemen will share
either two double or four single
coach seats, the extra one for
stretching. The mess will be on
shift-basi as on any other troop
train.
The train scheduled brief stops at
Pittsburgh, st. Louis, Tulsa and Fort
