had moved plenty of forces" to
take every possible precaution
against the attack.

He said the bombs would come
in one of three ways: from a sur
face ship; a submarine. or long
range planes.
He said the bombs probably
would be smaller than the vi or

to expect was from fires, and that
the bombs were not expected to
seriously damage any large build

HalseY May Become Head
Of Maritime Commission

Ry the Associated Press.
Admiral William F. Halsey may
become chairman of the Maritime
Commission after he retires from
the Navy, it was reported today by
industry officials.
Admiral Halsey. former Sd Fleet
commander, could not be reached
for comment. He is on temporary
duty at the Navy Department
before leaving the service.
The commission craftsmanship is
expected to be vacant after January
when Vice Admiral Emory S.
Land becomes president of the Air
Transport Association. Admiral
Lands resignation has not been
announced, but aviation officials
have said he was offered the associ-
alton presidency and probably would
be permitted to leave Government
service at the end of the year.
The prospective moves, with a
naval aviator holding the top spot
in commercial shipping, and a life
long Navy surface man heading the
airlines, have led to speculation that
facilities of surface and air carriers
may be co-ordinated in some areas
to avoid duplication Of costs.
