Gel. j. Hale Steinman of the War

until next July.
But all Government controls prob

 CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
156 Teachers Employed in ParOchial Institutions
 of Waterbury

Enrolment in Waterbury's ele- mentary parochia schools during the past year was 3,881 an increase of 26 over the previous year, it was disclosed today in the annual report of Rev. Arthur J. Hefferman, dioce- san superintendent of schools, who reported continued growth of reg istration throughout the state.
 Registration at three other paro- chial schools here, including two high schools, brought the total to 5,093, the report shows. Included in that figure was the following regis tration: Waterbury Catholic High School, 648; Sacred Heart High School, 309; and Notre Dame aca- demy, 255.
 The total enrolment for the state for all school departments, includ- ing elementary and secon d ary schools and colleges, is listed at 49.- 134.

Bombing Alone Not
 To Defeat Japanese

Germans fought from the Atlantic wall in the Normandy invasion.
 Therefore any successful invasion of Japan must include part, of the tactics of the Normandy type of in vasion-men walking into deadly fire from the long prepared beach defenses which only naval gunfire can reduce before invasion begins. The extent of that naval gunflre must depend only upon how long it would be safe to hold fleet offshore in face of a financial all-outSlde sui eide attack by land-based Kami- kaze planes. Okinawa cost our Navy 33 warships sunk and more than 50 damaged along the picket line.
 The softening up of the Honshu beaches has not even begun. The terrific hammering of Nippon from the air has been tactical, aimed not at beach fortiHcations but at the factories and reserves which are the source of mobility and firepower of the Japanese war machine.
 Invasion Beaches Vital
 Before Honshu can be invaded there must be a long period or Stra- tegic bombing. Beaches must be selected for invasion, and they must be strafed and bombed until there is not living thing or piece of upright steel left. That will shorten the period of naval gunfire but the heavy artillery of the fleet must roar as it did in Normandy before the first troops go ashore.
 That will be the critical half-hour of the whole war with Japan either we force our way ashore on Honshu by sheer might and num- bers or We may be pinned down, as were were briefly at Okinawa, giv- ing the remnants of the d-based Japanese air-force its final big chance. Only overwhelming Amer ican naval and air superiority can overcome the 1anaticism of Jap anese team playing the last inning on it's home grounds.

rain roVeI Curb Coming

\ Washington, July 13.-(UP)-The Ofice of Defense Transportation called on government agencies today to make greater reductions in travel by federal employees and warned of possible additional curbs on civil ian train travel.
 ODT Director J. Monroe Johnson wrote heads of all government agen- cies that T am firmly convinced that government agencies can and must make still further and greater reductions in travel"
 He told President Harry A. Parr III of the Thoroughbred Racing as- sociations yesterday that further steps will be taken to provide addi- tional military transportation when ever that action is necessary" Those steps would be no restrictions on civilian travel.
 The War Production board mean while took cognizance of the grow ing shortage of railroad passenger facilities by authorizing produc- ton of 664 new day coaches and granting top priority rating for ma terials to be used in their con- struction. These cars will be in addition to I 200 troop sleepers and 400 kitchen cars whose production It authorized previously.
 The new cars, however. will not alleviate the travel situation in the near future. Most of the day coach- es will not be completed until next year, with the WIPE schedule call Ing for completion of 250 cars in the first three months and 400 ears in the second quarter.
 Troop movements, on the other hand, are scheduled to increase Eteadily until they reach a peak in B9eember. Some of this increase GM be offset as the new troop Snsl1ers are put in operation, how yVer.
 Tn his letter to government agen- sies, Johnson said officials should discontinue scheduling group meet ings in Washington and in the field. He suggested that travel could be eliminated in many cases by the extended use of postal and communication facilities"
 ODT already has banned the Transportation of race horses and show animals and prohibited the use of pullman sleeping cars on trips of less than 45O miles. The Pullman car ban has given the army 892 additional cars, ODT said.
