Airborne Force First Navy
Due Tuesday No "Fraternizing."
Manila, Aug. 21 (U.R) Japan
announced today that the Ameri
can occupation of her homeland
would begin Sunday when air
borne forces will iand in the
Tokyo area. Japanese officials
ordered military personnel out
of the occupation area in an ap
parent effort to minimize the
danger of friction,
a The Japanese High Command
revealed that the airborne occu
pation forces would be followed
two days later by American na
val forces, landing at Yokosuka
at the entrance to Tokyo bay.
Withdrawal of Japanese army
and navy forces from the occu
pation areas was ordered after
Tokyo propaganda broadcasts
had expressed fear that some
"hot-headed" Japanese army
men might attempt to battle the
occupation troops despite Em
peror Hirohito s surrender or
ders. The Japanese High Command
sought to reassure the Japanese
public which apparently feared
that the occupation areas might
be turned into battle zones. It
also ordered "non - fraterniza
tion" and said that there would
be no direct contact between the
allied troops and the general
; public,
I "We emphasize this point," a
joint statement of the High Com
mand and government said.
The first American troops
will land at Atsuki, just south
west of Tokyo, the Japanese an
nouncement revealed.
"The Imperial army and navy
forces (including their respec
tive air forces) in Kanagawa pre
fecture and'in the southwestern
area of Boso peninsula will be
transferred Immediately," the
announcement said.
Police and gendarmes are to
be sent to maintain order in the
area from which the military
has been withdrawn.
The public was barrad from
use of railroads in the affected
area because all rail facilities
will be required for the troop
movement. Anyone who ordi
narily uses trains to ride to work
was instructed to stay at home
while the movement is being
carried gut.

ONCE MIGHTY JAP
Worst Defeat In Sea History
Merchant Marine Hard
Hit U."S. Loses 122.
Washington, Aug. 21 (U.R)
The once-proud Japanese battle
fleet suffered the worst naval
defeat in modern history during
the three years and nine months
of Pacific war.
The report by Admiral Ches
ter Nimitz headquarters that
only 55 combat vessels remain
of the Imperial Japanese fleet of
382 fighting ships was made aft
er the Japanese surrender en
voys confirmed what the navy
already had reported In its sum
mary of the war at sea.
This report, released here last
week, said that the U. S. fleet
had reduced Japan from a first
class sea power "to a naval non
entity." It said the Japs lost more than
300 warships including 18 bat
tleships, 15 aircraft carriers, 58
cruisers, 138 destroyers, about
130 submarines and a host of
smaller craft.
In addition to the utter rout of
her fighting ships, Japan saw
her 5.629.845-ton merchant ma
rine reduced to less than 1.500.
000 tons. This was the first time
in history that a major power
lost the bulk of both its navy
and its merchant marine during
a war.
In contrast, the V. S. navy
during the war was built up to
become the most powerful in the
history of the world. At the close
of the war, it roamed the Pacific
at will and moved within three
miles of Japan's home shores.
While the Japanese fleet was
left without a major warship in
tact, U. S. navy losses for the
Pacific war totaled 122 major
combatant vessels. This tntal
does not include losses of ships I
smaller than dostrocrs and sub
marines. I

TOP NAZIS
Z
Traitor Hated British, and
Offered Norway Bases
and Own Services. ,
Oslo, Aug. 21 (U.R) The
prosecutor in the treason trial of
Vidkun Quisling today intro
duced captured German docu
ments branding the Norwegian
puppet as an arch-traitor who
persuaded the Nazis to invade
his country in 1940.
Chief Prosecutor A n n a e u s
Schjoedt began the second day
of the trial by reading from a
mass of documents and sworn
statements obtained from such
top nazi war criminals as Her
mann Goering, Joachim Von
Ribbcntrop and Alfred Rosen
berg. The highlight of the new evi
dence came with the reading of
extracts from a diary taken from
Rosenberg, in which the notori
ous nazi Jew-baiter wrote that
Quisling offered German bases
in Norway and talked Hitler into
invading the country, against
the fuehrer's judgment.
Schjoedt followed with a doc
ument found by British police in
the German admiralty in Berlin.
The paper recorded a conversa
tion between Quisling and Ger
man Grand Admiral Erich Raed
cr on Dec. 11, 1939, in which
Quisling offered his services to
Germany, .
Quisling was -quoted as saying
that Norway had made a secret
treaty with Britain guaranteeing
the latter a safe landing on Nor
wegian soil in the event of war,
and that he was ready to pave
the way for a German invasion.
Asked by the court if he of
fered the Germans bases in Nor
way at that time. Quisling re
plied: "I don't remember."
The prosecutor also read a let
ter written by Rosenberg to the
German admiralty, referring to
a plan for a coup by Quisling's
Norwegian nazi party men, who
were supposed to occupy key
points in Oslo when the Ger
mans landed.
When Schjoedt finished read
ing the documents. Presiding
Justice Erik Solem began ques
tioning Quisling, who evaded di
rect answers.
Throughout the hearing, Quis
ling was kept under constant
scrutiny by Dr. Johan Scharfcn
berg, a prominent Oslo psychia
trist assigned to observe Quis
ling's reactions and determine
his mental status.
Quisling professed complete
ignorance of the charges con
tained in the nazi documents and
said he was at a loss to explain
the German leaders' references
to him In their state records.
"Well then," the judge asked,
"How do you account for it?
Quisling is not a common name
like Hansen or Jensen." .
Quisling made no reply.

Compensation commission, said

Craighead said that the Wash

landscaped, lake-studded park
and cemetery, to which Pylc's
body could be moved from le
Shima where he was killed by
the Japanese last April.
A money-raising campaign di
rected by the New York public
relations firm of Richard Con
don, Inc., was to have started to
morrow. Mrs. Pyle said she un
derstood the campaign was in
tended to raise "a million dollars,
or two million dollars."
"The proposal violates every
thing that Ernie was." she said.
"It also violates the feeling that
existed between Ernie and the
neonle who loved him ...
"Ernie Is lying where he would
wish to lie. with the men he
loved. I will never consent to
having his body moved.'
At the same time. Mrs. Pyle
approved the "sensible and mod
est undertaking of Indiana uni
versity" to provide journalism

Four members of Lt. Gen. James
H. Doolittle's Tokyo raiders have
been liberated by American par
atroopers dropped at Pciping, it
was revealed today, but several
other paratroop rescue opera
tions encountered Japanese or
Russian objections.
The Doolitlle airmen were
among a group of 12 Americans
liberated in the Peiping area by
a group of paratroop volunteers
of the office of strategic serv
ices. A similar OSS team landed at
Mukden but advised their head
quarters that until the Japanese
received permission from the
Russians for the Americans to
land they probably would be in
terned. Teams dropped at Shanghai
and Canton reported they prob
ably would be unable to take any
steps to liberate Americans un
til the formal signing of Jhe Jap

The Peiping group reported
that they were staying at the
Grand Hotel under "the courte

North China. They said they
were setting every WmA of co
operation from the Japanese.
They found 12 American pris

nearby Fcngtai, seven in the
Peiping prison charged with an
attempt to escape, and one at
Tsian, also charged with an es
cape attempt. All were being
transferred to the Grand Hotel.
The team also located 317 in
ternees in 10 different places In
Pciping, all of whom were re

The Japanese were said to be
maintaining law and order but
Internees were advised to stay
