Japs Had Fiue Sub Aircraft Carriers to Strike New York
Sneak Attacks Were 10 Bring
 Morale Setback

Tokyo, Nov. 3-(UP)-The Jap. anese Navy had five submarine air. craft carriers ready for sneak att tacks on New York and the Panama Canal but Japan's sudden surren- der prevented their use, the news paper Mainichi said today.
 The underwater "flat-tops," com- missioned just before the end of the war. were taken over by the U. s. Navy.
 One type of the submarine dis placed 5,700 tons and carried three planes. A similar model weighed 3,700 tons and carried two planes.
 Could Hurl 10 Planes
 If the submarines had been able to carry out their missions the Mainichi said, they could have thrown more than 10 planes against New York or the canal as psycho- logical blow against American morale.
 The newspaper quoted an uni- identified submarine officer as re- porting that originally six of the giant, cruiser-like craft were planned.
 Construction was started on the I-40O, I-4O1 and I-402 and the I-13, LA and Ills at the Sasebo arsenal on Kyushu and the Kamasaki dock yards on Tokyo bay.
 The I-400 was completed in July. 1944; the I-13 and I-401 in January, 1945; the I-14 in February; and the I-402 in June. The I-l5 was still un- der construction when the war end- ed.
 Have Appearance Of Cruiser
 The 400 types were 5,700 tons and the others 3,700 tons,
 A hangar in front of the con- ming tower gave the submarines the appearance of cruisers. They had a surface speed of 12 knots and under water speed of three knots.
 The 400-type was reported to have a cruising range of 49,780 miles. They carried a complement of POO men. The smaller craft carried 150 men and had a cruising range of 31 ,050 miles.
 The planes carried by the subma- rines were two place models pow cred by a single 300 horsepower Atsuta engine. They were capable of dive-bombing with a 400-pound bomb or torpedo. Their pilots were members of the Kamikaze (suicide) Suqadrons.

Creating :Phony Issues Charges Mayor
 Democratic Administration Enters
 Election With Record as Credentials

The Democratic administration will enter next weeks election on its record, which is open to the public and not upon loose talk and vague promises such as those of the Republican candidates, Mayor John s. Monagan declared in effect last night in a prediction radio address.
 "No valid criticism of our admin istration has yet come forth from our COP opponents" the incume- bent Democratic mayoralty candi- date declared.
 Rather they seek to create new sisles, false or other wise to con- fuse the picture and confound the public" he added.
 Recent examples of what he termed to be "phony issues were the COP attack on the Park Board; the pibes at the city's lightning system and the lack of an incinera- tor.
 The Mayor pointed out that the Park Board is comprised of II mem bers, nine of whom are chosen among themselves and represent Republicans and Democrats alike. Inadequate city lighting is a fact well-known to the administrat tion, the Mayor declared, and was konwn tn +I,o lo+o A5ouOr IJi,1capt A Cn,1llv who entered with the Connecticut Light & Power Co.,, for the city, contract providing for sufficient lighting. The war then interfered with this plan. An incinerator plan for disposal of rubbish is tremen- dous undertaking Mayor Monagar pointed out and is being planned for by the city.
 At one point in his speech the mayor declared that MT. Snyder had erred by approximately one million dollars, or over 60 per cent in listing the bond issues that were approved early this year by the legislature.
 Some of the improvements cited by the mayor last night as having been made by his administration were new pipe line, a new dam and reservoir. and a new chlorin- ation plant for the water depart ment. He mentioned the construc- tion of the Baldwin St. bridge, the repairing and improvement of West Main St., and Watertown Ave, and the building of the An derson School gym.
 He pointed to progress in fi- ancial matters, in tax reduction, in the lowering of our bonded debt in the setting aside of reserves and in the tightening up of mu- nicipal services generally He call ed attention to steady steps for ward in education, in recreation in personal policies, in the moder- nization of office procedure; and

 ITO overcome such Nazi activ- ties as hoarding newsprint for newspapers they controlled, sub sidiEing other journals, and offer ing a free news service of poison ous propaganda, the United States had to assure newspapers friendly to the Allied cause of sufficient supplies of newsprint" he said.
 Fuchs said that of the hundreds of thousands of tons of newsprint shipped to Latin America during the war only 600 tons were lost.
