ship was commissioned six months
ago.
Approximately 1900 men have
left the ship since the commission

headed for civilian life.
The result is that much effort
on this expedition to the Arctic
to see what a big carrier can do
in freezing conditions will be de-
voted to training the crewmen for
their jobs. It means that some
troubles encountered on the trip,
such as starting aircraft engines
in low temperatures, will be mag
nified by inexperience.
One example of the demobili-
cation program is the lack OF arti-
ficers, the skilled shipfitters, car
penters and metalsmitAs who are
so important in the readyiag OF
a ship during its first years op-
erations.
The Midway normally would
have thirty of those experts but
it has to get along with five.

ABOARD CARRIER MIDWAY
AT SEA, March 2.-(PHDemobili-
cation problems loom larger than
icebergs on this carrier heading
into the Arctic region for cold
weather tests.
Rear Admiral John H. Cassidy,
commanding the four ship task
force, said in an interview today
the turnover among the crew has
been so great that a fair test of
what might be done in the frigid
North Atlantic appears impossible,
although great deal can be
learned.
The Midway, i,rst of its class,
was commissioned last September
10 and a crew of $3.50 men was
authorized. Subsequently the au-
thorized complement was reduced
to 2,400 enlisted personnel.
However, the huge carrier sailed
from Nor X Friday morning
nearly 100 shy of its authorized
total with the shortage primarily
among engineering personnel.

NAVY WARNS OF JAPANESE MINES
 IN ALASKA SEAS

Tke following dispatch, warning of Japanese mines in Alaskan wat CTS, was received here today by It. Comdr Howard Solloway, US- CGR, Marine inspector. from the Commander of the Alaskan Sea Frontier, Kodiak:
 @TEa Navy Department reports that large number of Japanese mines that drift ashore, some of which reach Alaska, are exploding on contact with the beach. This corroborates information received from the Japanese that mines man. ufactured during the latter days of the war did not have adequate saf- ety features to render them safe upon breaking away from their moorings, as required by interna- tional law.
 Tn the last month, three of these mines have drifted ashore near Ketchikan and have been destroy ed by the Coast Guard. More of these mines will probably drift to Alaskan shores in the future. From the above, it is apparent that such mines may be in a fully armed condition These mines are very apt to detonate on striking the beach or while rolling in the surf. Furthermore, such mines, even af- ter bleaching, should be considered to be in an armed condition.
 Therefore, all persons are warn ed of the extreme danger of watch ing mines while adrift near shore or approaching or tampering with mines in any manner under any conditions. If a mine is sighted, it should be reported immediately to the U. s. Coast Guard or, if no Coast Guard representative can be reached, to the U. s. Navy. Cooper ation in this regard may save your life and that of others"
