KQhooLQwe Ranks
Most Bomborded
Island In Pacific

Ask any veteran of the Pacific
warfare which bastion was the
"most shot at island" during World
War II and he'll probably answer
Saipan, Two Jima, Okinawa, Tara
wa or one of the other Japanese
strongholds.
But that dubious distinction be-

niicant, waterless, uninhabited is
land of Kahoolawe in the Hawaiian
chain. Former smugglers' haven,
the island, only eight miles by five
and of rugged terrain, has been re-
duced to a mass of rubble by
countless shells and bombs.
The explanation is that naval and
marine forces used Kahoolawe, I'M
inhabited and commercially worth
less, as testing ground for theories
of naval gunfire support of landing
forces.
More than 800 ships, ranging from
small amphibious craft to battle
wagons, poured thousands upon
of rounds into Kahoo-
lawe's barren sides. The tiny island

Romantic Pacific Isles Prove
Lure to Many Ex-Servicemen
10000 Navy Men
Take Discharges
At Island Bases

Long heralded in song and film
as the land of beauty and ro-
nance, glamour and adventure,
the myriad islands of the Pacific
left a lasting imprint on thou
sands of American servicemen
whose war duties gave them
their first glimpse of the palm
fringed and coral-studded atolls.
The romantic lure of these Pacific
isles already has drawn nearly TO-
900 discharged American navy
men, who have decided not to go
home after the wars end.
The navy department reports that
1872 navy men who were sta
toned on Pacific islands during the
war have received special authority
to be demobilized at their stations
instead of returning to the United
States for discharge.
All were required to have jobs or
some other source of income before
this permission was granted. Most
of the voluntary ex-patriates have
obtained civil service employment
in the military government, the
navy announces. Others have jobs
in private enterprises, mainly IN Ha-
wall and the Philippines.
Some sailors have "gone ma
tive" - marrying native girls
and deciding to make their per-
manent homes on one of the is
lands.
A few were reported interested IN
starting commercial enterprises
which import consumer durable
goods from the United States. Pri-
vate business has been impeded,
however, because of the relative
scarcity of radios, automobiles, re-
frigerators and other durable goods.
Look for Retreat.
Occasionally the navy department
receives a wistful letter from for
ner sailor or marine, discouraged

asking if there is little island in

Stands of the Pacific. Almost with

he United States as their defender
and liberator, and now they wait
hopefully for the return of the
men they saw during the war
The Americans brought a taste Of
nodernity and of big enterprise to
he peoples of the island groups.
The natives saw picture of the
United States as place of vast
wealth and immense physical re-
ources. The huge quantities OF
materials which moved through
hese places made an indelible i'm

100000 by July, '&
High Officials Soy U. S.
Employment Cut Below
5000 Is Possibility
By Joseph Young
Stor StoH Correspondent

NEW YORK. Oct. 24.-Tenta-
tive plans drawn up by the ad-
ministration call for even more
drastic dismissals of Federal per-
sonnet than was ordered by Con-
gress, it was learned today at
the Civil Service Assembly con-
ference here.
Congress has ordered the Federal
payroll reduced to 1900, 900 employees
by July /, 1947, which would mean the
firing of TOO, 600 Government work
ers by that date. The Budget Blu.
reau, however, has informed the
Civil Service Commission thai
100, 900 additional Government work
ers are expected to be fired during
the fiscal year starting next July.
If carried out, these plans meal
that the Federal payroll will be re
duced to 100000 employees, o
SOC, 900 fewer workers than are OF
the payroll at present.
Revision Possible.
High Government officials who ar,
attending the conference stress thai
these plans are only tentative ane
that the figures may be revised up
ward or downward, depending or
future developments. They point
out, however, that the administra.
ton is in an economy minded MOOD
and will do everything it can to re-
duce Federal personnel without hurt.

eminent.
These officials freely admit that
political considerations play a large
part in the move. The Republican
Party is hammering away for econ
omy in Government, and Carroll
Reece, Republican national chair.
man, has promised his party will
cut the Federal payroll to less than
half its present size if it gains con-
troll of the Government.
While President Truman and his
aides have no intention of making
such drastic cuts, they are deter
mined to cut the Federal payroll
as much as they can by the time
the next presidential election rolls
around in 1913. The administration
believes that failure to do so would
give the Republicans too much am
munition two years hence.
1850, 900 Minimum Seen.
No one here cares to venture q
guess as to what the final Federal
employment figure will be. Some
feel that, try as it may, the Gov
eminent, because of expanding
activities, will not be able to get
along with less than 100000 en-
ployes. Before the war, the peak
Federal employment figure was
about 100000. During the war
the figure shot up to more than
5000, 900 employees, and, since then
has gone downward to the present
total of 100000 Federal workers
