 The admiral did his best to ignore these feminine fripperies. He ln- haled deeply on his cigaret, stared into the sunlight and talked about rats, meaning Japanese. He men toned their rag tail, bob tall ar planes. He said even the stupid, bestial Japanese saw he was los- ing the war and he added: It's heads we win, tails he loses.
 These Japs, he continued (stlll keeping his gaze averted from the ladies', hole up like rats and like rats have got to ze dug out. As for the by-passed Japs. he said the Navy intended to let them starve to death, slowly and painfully. He said Japs drown as easily as they burn. He said he hoped to God he'd be in Tokyo for the final fes- tivities. Somebody asked him If any British ships now were help

ment, toured Germany shortly after
VE-Day to witness the W. launch
ing sites and factories.
1.-The Nordhausen factory manu-
factured W. bombs and FW 109 en-
gines," Major Rivero declared. "The
entire factory was underground. 1t
was like a sized city under
ground"
Near the factory, Rivero stated,
was the infamous Nordhausen con-
centration camp for political prison
ers of the Third Reich. ''The fac
tory workers we're drawn from the
concentration camp. They were told
they would never come out of the
factories alive
The slave laborers lived in the
underground factory close to their
work They slept and ate near
their machines and never again saw
the light of day.
I'VE inspected the concentration
camp and saw the bone piles, the
crematoriums, the huge pile Of hu-
man ashes," Rivero said. 1--WE saw
evidence of how they butchered their
prisoners and then removed even the
gold from their teeth before Gre
mating them"
Rivero said he believed the Nazi
W. was hit-or-miss projectile with
little or no control at the launching
site. He said records show that Of
1000 missiles aimed at London, only
about $50 struck the target.
'"They were terror weapon of
very little actual military value to
the Nazis," Rivero said. "And I very
seriously doubt that they had any
thing that could have been used
against our Eastern coast"
Rivero was assistant chief of the
W. commission. This organization
