Washington. Feb. 14 U.f9 The navy asked congress today to approve a peacetime trans ition" force of 558,000 officers and men pending the outcome of atomic bomb tests on warships and of United Nations efforts to stabilize world conditions. It told the senate naval af fairs committee that many men would be needed for its proposed fleet of 319 active ships, 3,731 planes and 36 bases scattered throughout the world. Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, chief of naval operations, urged prompt approval of the program. He said it was the minimum re quirement for the nation's need and was flexible enough to meet any changes in navy makeup which may be necessary later. Reduction Hop Nimitz also held out the hope that the nation's military re quirements could be reduced in the next few years through more effective international co operation and the elimination of conditions "which breed wars." Nimitz said the atomic bomb and other new weapons would doubtless bring radical changes in the makeup . and tactics of the armies, navies and air forces of the future. But the fundamental role of the navy, he added, "will con tinue to be the defeat of our en emies at- the greatest possible distance from our own shores." Livestock Portland, Ore., Feb. 14 (UJ.)
