For Biggest Peace Maneuvers
WASHINGTON U The
Navy begins Its biggest peacetime
maneuvers In history Monday,
featuring for the first time a mock
torn bomb attack.
Some 120 ships, several hun
dred planes and 35,000 men from
the Army, Navy, Marine Corps
and the Canadian Army were to
participate In the war games In
Caribbean waters.
Major warships, Including the
giant aircraft carrier Frank
lin D. Roosevelt and the battleship
Missouri, were scheduled to Join
In the maneuvers. They will con
tinue until March 10.
Most Extensive
"These exercises," said the
Nivy, "will be the largest end
most extensive peacetime maneu
vers ever held."
The war games will give the
Navy a chance to test the effec
tiveness of its newest anti-submarine
devices and its Jet fighter
clanes which will be operating
for the first time from aircraft
carriers.
The Navy gave little Informa
tion about the mock atom bomb
attack. It said only that a "simu
lated" atom bomb would be used
as an "offensive weapon" and that
the mock bomblng would be ac-
Too Many Visitors
At Eugene's Dump
Eugene's municipal dump
grounds have been visited by too
many strangers lately, City Re
corder Henry Belstcl said Monday
In warning that other-than-Eu-gene
residents must pay a dump
ing fee when they use the facility.
The dumpground is free to per
sons who can Identify themselves
as being from Eugene, the city of
ficial said; all others must pay a
fee. But lately, people from other
communities have left refuse and
gone away without leaving a
penny.
""Our dumping grounds are lim
ited as to space," Beistel said. VWe
Just can't have others coming In
and using it."
Unofficial opinion was that the
unwanted visitors are from small
er towns who charge their own
people for dumping.

Move Off Puerto Rico
The major operation will be an
assault on Vieques Island off
Puerto Rico. The Island -will be
considered part of the "African
Eurasion land mass, an 'enemy'
area heavily fortified and held by
a substantial number of troops."
Adm. W. H. P. Blandy, commander-in-chief
of the Atlantic
fleet, will be in charge of the
maneuvers.
The first, or Bermuda phase,
will be a test submarine warfare.
Six guppy-snorkel type and eight
standard submarines will fight a
striking force on its way to pro
tect the landing at Vieques Island.
D-Day March Z
The main part of the maneu
vers, the mock landing on Vieques,
will follow. A Joint expeditionary
force of American and Canadian
soldiers, supported by ships and
planes, will attack on D-Day,
which is scheduled for March 2.
Some 330 U.S. Army troops
from Ft. Riley, Kans., will defend
the Island with "mechanical de
vices." The Navy said they will be
considered equivalent to 6000
enemy troops.
On March 1, an attacking force
will feint at Vieques. The second
task fleet, under Vice Adm. D. B.
Duncan, will aid the attack with
57 ships, 14 land-based air squad
rons, 16 carrier-based squadrons,
a helicopter and several blimps.
Seek Two Beachheads
The main assault on D-Day will
be commanded by Marine Corps
Lt. Gen. Keller G. Rockey. His
forces will fight for two beach
heads. "The Island is expected to be
'secured' in three days," the Navy
said. . .
After the Vieques attack, there
will be another submarine battle
in the "Haiti phase," and on
March 15 carrier-based planes
will attack the U.S. Naval Base at
Guantanamo, Cuba.
