Nimitz in Washington
Gives Report On
Progress of War
WASHINGTON Mar. 7 ——
Admiral Chester W Nimitz, com-
mrjnder-ln -chief of the Pacific
fleet, reported today on his return
to Washington for a series of con-
ieren:es that ill American forces
have occupied the Majuro atoll In
the Marshall islands and i2i our
submarines may deliver the killing
[ blow In the Pacific.
U. S. troops encountered no op-
position when they invaded Majuro,
once a German supply base, the
59-vear-old white-hatred admiral
told a news conference.
Anchorage Provided
They found r.o Japanese on the
atoll, he said, adding that the
little Island will provide American
forces with a good anchorage and
advanced position In the mid-Pac-
iflr Marshalls.
As for the work of our sub- |
I marine-., the Pacific commander
I said, they "are taking such a
j heavy toll of Japanese shipping ]
1 that la.k of shipping may soon
be the controlling factor in what
, Japan Is able to do."
"Gur submailnes are increasing {
| in number and not decreasing in |
efficiency even though the number
j of targets Is slowly decreasing," j
i he added.
Menace Kri.oinis
Tlte Pacific commander warned
at the same time against discount- j
ir.g the importance of Japanese S
I submarines, saying that although t
I the enemy’s undersea craft arc J
j not seen frequently now they “will
become more of a menace as our
lines lengthen. We are not finish-
ed with the Japanese subs by any
| means."
Nimitz. in Washington for con-
fetences. repeated naval assertion.s
that the Pacifi • fleet would wel-
| come a major engagement.
“It would be to our advantage,"
I he said, “to have an early en-
counter with the Japanese fleet be-
, cause we arc prepared to meet
them. It would be disastrous lor
them If we could fight an early
engagement and they lose a good
part of their fleet. My Idea is that
they are preserving their fleet
as long as possible."
Only Time Required
"We are getting the ships and
men now and all we need Is time
lo carry on our operations against
the enemy." he said. “The prin-
cipal obstacle now is not the Jap-
anese but geography—tire size of I
the Pacific."

Plans for use of the third floor

that the site might be unsafe un-

Opinion Conflicts
According to juvenile council of-

safe for use
The city hall space consists of a
