Huge Post-War Fleet For U. S.
WASHINGTON, June 20.— (UP)—The U. S. Navy wants a postwar fleet big enough to lick whatever naval forces any other power or combination of “likely enemies” could bring to bear on Noith or South America or the Pacific ocean areas. It wants to be sure that fleet includes enough warships to provide this country's contribution to world security forces. And in addition it wants to be sure of having enough extra war-craft to take care of policing operations in Japanese and German waters immediately after the end of the war. That, in brief, is the navy’s tentative postwar plan as outlined to House ami Senate naval affairs committees yesterday by Navy Secretary James V. Forrestal and Adm. Ernest J. King, commander in chief of the U. S.
fleet.
The joint session was not open to reporters but Chairman David I. Walsh, D., Mass., of the Senate group released a statement by Forrestal afterward containing what the navy felt safely might be made public now. To maintain a postwar fleet ready for any emergency the naval chiefs recommended dividing the present fleet, largest the world has ever known, into two parts. One would be kept on active duty, the other in reserve.

BORNEO LANDING (Cootlnard from Pa*e One) have been expected to make a stand. The 37th gained 13 miles in its newest spurt to reach a j point only three miles from Hagan, the capital of Isabella I province with a prewar population of 30,000. In that thrust, made Monday, the 37th Division liberated the town of Naguilan, killed 200 Japanese, and captured another 447. Most of the prisoners were Formosans, and they represented one of the biggest bags taken in the fight-to-the-death operations in the Philippines. Northwest of Bagabag, the Sixth Division killed a total of over 400 Japanese in mopping-up j operations along Highway Four. The navy’s PT boats again strafed beach defenses in the Aparri region of northern Luzon and drew heavy fire from shoto
batteries.
Over 40 Liberators dropped 160 tons of bombs on the industrial and rail center of Keelung. in northern Formosa. Sunday.

Peele’s Cambridge City weekly newspaper, The National Highway Traveler, Lt. Walter LaHane of the state police post here checked the story of $70,000 in gold coins that was reported dug up by a state highway bulldozer on U. S. 40 near Straughn.
