time), but a fleet dispatch this aft-| ernoon said the landings may begin | sometime tomorrow. One radio broadcast from the fleet | said the movement into Tokyo bay had been completed so rapidly that the whole sea-borne landing schedule may be advanced by 24 hours. Adm. William PF. (Bull) Halsey, commander of the famed 3d fleet, in any event was expected to enter Tokyo bay with his mighty flagship, the 53,000-ton battleship Missouri, tomorrow. Japan is scheduled to surrender formally aboard the Missouri next Sunday. The American battleships Iowa and South Dakota and British battleships Duke of York and King George V, at present waiting impatiently with the Missouri in adjoining Sagami bay, also presumably will enter Tokyo bay tomorrow. Ships Are Cautious

Halsey gave the order that sent Badger's task force moving slowly out of Sagami bay and into the Uraga straits behind “two minesweepers. Taking all precautions, the warships required four hours to navigate the 256 miles to Yokosuka. The shores of the narrow straits bristled with 116 coastal-defense guns, but there were no overt acts by the Japanese, The trip into what probably was the most heavily mined and gunned harbor entrance in the world was made without incident. Besides the San "Diego and the troop transport Gosselin, the task force comprised the destroyers Yarnall, Twining, Stockham and Wedderburn and the seaplane tenders Gardiner'’s Bay, Suisin and Macanac, Crowds of Japanese gathered on the headlands to watch ‘&2 parade of warships. Tiny white nags fluttered from the neutralized 16-inch guns on the cliffs in compliance with Halsey’s orders. 24 Hours for Trip Anchor finally was dropped off Yokosuka—the equivalent of America’s Brooklyn or Philadelphia navy yard—just 24 hours after Halsey's flagship had anchored in Sagami bay yesterday. { Nearby lay the wrecked Japanese battleship Nagato. The wreckage of numerous other vessels was visible! across the harbor surface. Just to | the north were the sunlit build-| j= of Yokohama, and beyond || them, Tokyo itself. Carrier planes from other Ameri. | can fleet units lying far out to sea criss-crossed Tokyo bay as the task | force anchored. From other 3d fleet units north | of Tokyo came word that two Japa-| nese submarines had surfaced off| the Honshu coast flying black sur-! render flags. ‘Carrier planes spotted the first submarine 150 miles off northern ‘Honshu and the destroyers Murray d Dashiell interce ted THEE Dit

i a prize cfew aboard. The second and larger’ submarine | faced -nearby and a prize crew ‘froin the destroyer Porteus took it over. Four officers and 40 men were made prisoners. Both sub-| marines headed for Sagami bay. The 48 big transport planes which | took advance ground forces to Atsugi airfield landed only 20 miles from the outskirts of Tokyo and "25 to 30 miiles from Emperor Hiro|hito’s palace. Bomb ruins were {clearly visible in the distance. Piloted First Transport Col. John H. Lackey Jr., of Norfolk, Va., commander of the 317th| troop carrier command, piloted the | first transport to land. Other C-| 46s, C-47s, C-54s and a single Fly-| ing Fortress came down in quick succession. | Two of the first C-47s to alight | unloaded two special communica- | tions jeeps on the airstrip for estab- | lishing radio tower control to direct later arrivals. Antennas were at-

tached to the jeeps and radios operated from the jeep engines immediately began calling planes overhead. :

The planes all were heavily loaded and short of gasoline after the 1000-mile flight from Okinawa. They were brought in at the rate of one every three minutes. Sixteen of the advance party returned to Okinawa with information for the large-scale landings at Atsugi beginning Thursday. The others remained at the Atsugi air-

field.

number of automobiles were stranded in water four feet deep. Three Missouri-Pacific trains, “lost” on “the Houston-Brownsville line last night when all communi. cations were down, were located today with . passengers and crews unharmed. Hundreds of refugees huddled in Houston's houses and churches as the city boarded up to face 85-mile-per-hour winds expected early toaay. Pleas for Aid From behind the storm's center, reports of damage running into millions of dollars trickled over crippled communication lines. Pleas for wedical aid, food and shelter filtered through from countless fishing towns which wallowed helplessly in the storm’s fury before it moved on. Whole towns were isolated and plunged into darkness. Rice crops and unharvested cotton were crossed off as a total loss. A toll of six dead was counted in the storm’s wake. On the coast al highway near Corpus Christi a family of four was wiped out when their automobile piled up against a stone wall, shrouded from view by torrential rains. The bodies of two fishermen were recovered near Port Isabel at the southernmost tip of the state. Merchants closed their stores, boarded up their windows and tied down signs and other property. Residents battened down their windows, piled furniture against the walls and prepared to “wait out” the storm. Houston's turning pasin was crowded with small craft seeking shelter from raging 10-foot tides and ripping winds. At Port Lavaca, a coastal com munity of 3000, practically every house was damaged. A preliminary

estimate placed losses at between

$750,000 - and $1,000,000. Pishing schooners were battered against the sea wall. Expensive yachts floundered helplessly on the beaches. John Alexander, United Press staff correspondent; sent from the coastal town of Rockport an eyewitness édccount of the nurricane’s wrath, Unable to find security in the town's hotel, Alexander spent the night in his automobile. which was bounced around “like a rubber ball” = Along the seawall, he count~ ed the wreckage of what must have been 35 or 45 fishing boats and light craft piled up in broken heaps. Damage to Crops In Bay City, 60 miles southwest of Houston, the air was filled with debris as the city was buffeted by a 100-mile-an-hour gale. The fishing communities of Seadrift, Austwell, Tivoli and Palacios also were lashed in the Storm's center last night. The Corpus Christi area was a scene of destruction. Damage to crops alone in the bend area was estimated at more than $1,500,000 and approximately 10,000 bales of unpicked cotton were ruined in San Patricio county alone. In Port Aransas, across the bay on the exposed tip of Mustang island, every home in the community of 500 was damaged and the loss estimated at more than $750,000.
