ALLIES CAN LAND
KAYO THIS YEAR
IF MOVE RIGHT
Must Concentrate Shipping
In Atlantic. Says Senate
Military Sub-Committee.
' By Chart.. B. Dsggs.
(United Press Correspondent)
Washington, Oct. 8. (U.R)
The Allies can deliver the de
cisive blow against Germany
this year If they concentrate
shipping in the Atlantic and
otherwise make the best mill'
tary use of the 3,000,000 tons of
ships they acquired unexpected'
ly in 1943, a senate military af
fairs sub-committee reported to
day.
If vigorously opposed dividing
shipping strength equally be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific,
and challenged congressional
critics who demand more atten
tion for the Pacific area.
Diversion Dangerous
"To divert ships from the
European area now," it said,
"would choke off our greatest
offensive in midstream. It
would prolong the war and cost
innumerable lives." '
The United States has 16,000,
000 tons and her Allies 50,000,-
000 tons, it added, but there are I
not enough ships to support
simultaneous supreme offensives
in all theatres. Proper military
use of shipping, however, could
place the 0,000,000 troops over
seas six months ahead of the
end of 1944. schedule, the com'
mittee said.
Sharply reduced submarines
sinkings and record new pro
duction gave the Allies this year
a "windfall" of 3,000,000 more
tons of shipping "than entered
Into our military planning for
1943," the committee said. In
military terms. It explained,
that means 9,000,000 extra tons
of cargo in one year enough to
equip 1,500,000 more troops in
the European theater.
"If these 3,000,000 tons are
fully mobilized for military use
rathef than dissipated on peace
time commerce," the committee
said, "and ... if plans are exe
cuted to pack every ship to the
last pound and the last cubic
foot, our shipping windfall can
deliver the decisive blows In
Europe this year."
Recommendations '
The committee recommended:
1. Concentration of shipping
In the Atlantic and avoidance of
"spreading too thin" ship sail
ings to other theaters.
2. Centralization in the war
shipping administration of con
trol over shipping all cargo
from factory to overseas ports.
8. Halting of efforts to divert
(hipping space to the transport
of non-essential goods in civilian
trade. . ,
4. Overhauling WSA's re
cruitment and training program
to assure doubling the number
of seamen by next June.
5. Establishment of a cen
tralized system of hiring long
shoremen. . 6. Greater efficiency In use
of cargo space by integrating
different types of cargo handled
by the army and WSA, and by
"realistically" revising the
army's formula for supplying
overseas troops.
