Damage To Crops

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

vey cut 121,000,000 bushels off
winter wheat crop which last De
cember 1 had been forecast at 885,

talk to this correspondent at
Keith's request.
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. He said his Ml sank an Ameri
can cruiser in the New Caledonia
