Damage To Crops Slows Plan For Quotas On Whtat WASHINGTON iiWThlt 425.000, 000 bushels of wheat taken over as surplus by the government may come in handy this year. Heavy damage to greatly reduced acreage of winter wheat raised the possibility that some of this reserve from previous years may be needed to meet the nation's domestic and export requirements during the coming marketing sea son. An Agriculture department sur vey cut 121,000,000 bushels off winter wheat crop which last De cember 1 had been forecast at 885, 000.000 bushels. This reduction re flected crop damage caused by dry weather and insects in the south ern greet plains.

TOKYO. UP) The former captain of a Japanese submarine says that his and other subma rines made numerous wartime trips to the American Pacific coast and used their airplanes and (una in attacks all the way from Alaska to southern California. The submarine veteran is Meijl Tagmai, 47, now skipper of an American-owned tank-landing ship that operates between Yokohama, Guam and Okinawa. Tagami was interviewed by this correspondent in the presence of Alfred E. Keith of Boston, superin tendent of maintenance of the Tokyo ordnance center, and two Japanese former admirals, Fumio Shimizu, now employed by a steel company, and Yasuto Tamai, now employed at the U. S. ordnance center. At Pearl Harbor Tagami says his submarine, the 1 25, four others started the war by lying outside Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1M1, to watch for possible escap ing American vessels. The other submarines had brought in on their decks the midget submarines that penetrated Pearl Harbor. Tagami said the submarine flo tilla was ordered to chase an American aircraft carrier which was erroneously reported to have escaped from Pearl Harbor during the attack. "All five went all the way to the U. S. coast," he declared. "The 1-17 fired on California near San Pedro about Dec. 20, 1941. "My submarine lay outside the Golden Gate and we heard Christ mas programs on the San Fran-: Cisco radio stations." Enroute back to a rendezvous at Kwajalein, Tagami related, he sank a large merchant vessel with tor pedoes. In June,-1942, his submarine and the 1-26 returned to America. The captain said he surfaced at the mouth of the Columbia river and fired 17 rounds with his deck guns at what he believed was a sub marine base at Ft. Stevens. At the same time, he said, the 1-26 fired on installations . at Vancouver is land, Canada. I Faired Mines He said neither attracted return fire and their fear was of mines, j His third and last trip to America ! began Aug. 15, 1942. when the 1-25 ailed alone to the Oregon coast. "This time we carried special in cendiary bombs made for our mis lion by my junior officer," he said, j "We surfaced it dusk, and at dawn launched our plane on two flights inland about 25 miles. We were seven miles offshore. One flight was in the vicinity of Cape ' Blanco and the other about 25 miles south o. there. "The pilot, Nobuo Fujita, dropped four bombs. He said one pair may have started a forest fire, and he was sure the second two did. We took the plane back aboard within view of a lighthouse." On the return trip, Tagami said, ! he sank one of the two U. S. sub marines he spotted in daylight iust below the Aleutians, and escaped from the other, which fired ma chine guns at his periscope. Tagami said, incidentally that ; his plane pilot, who then was 30 years old, was now living in Oito prefecture on Kyushu, southern Japanese island. Tagami declared several other Japanese submarines made lone trips to 'the American coast. In May, 1942, he said, he heard that the 1-19 had used its plane to scout Dutch Harbor, Alaska. At the same time, he said, the 1-21 reported it had driven a ship ashore south of San' Francisco, possibly near Mon terey. He knew no details or exact dates on these raids, however. . Samuel Eliot' Morison, Arrlerican naval historian now in Japan, said planes from Japanese submarines ' made reconnaissance flights over ; Seattle in 1942 and over Hawaii in ' 1943, but Tagami had no news of these activities. His own career, however, tends to bear out a statement by Morison that after August, 1942, when the Americans landed on Guadalcanal, the Japanese army was responsible for calling the submarines in from their far-ranging missions. The army contended they were needed to supply island outposts. Tagami was transferred in the 1-11 in 1943, and shortly thereafter his c'.d command the 1-25 was sunk with all hands off the New Hebri des.
