WASHINGTON. Feb 14.-<AP>
— The Navy urged Congress today
to keep the nation’s armed forces
in readiness for immediate advance-
ment of the nation's outposts, say-
ing its carrier fleet might make an
atomic air attack "very difficult.”
Navy Secretary Forrestal, first
witness to testify before the Senate
naval committee on legislation for
the postwar fleet, said the country
must be prepared "for immediate
advancement of our forward lines
of resistance and offense' to meet
the threat of atomic bombs and
robot missiles.
Urging legislation fixing the Na-
vy's strength at 500,000 men and
58,000 officers, Forrestal told the
Senate naval committee that the
time has not yet come when war
can be waged without the trans-
portation of men and materials
overseas.

Last year, Denton had a 15 per

The resignation of Harold L.
Ickes as secretory of interior, and
the exchange of letters with Presi-

varied comment in the newspapers
of the nation.
The St Louis Post-Dispatch saw
the resignation as a "humiliating
experience for Harry Truman for
the fine public servant who is leav-
ing the cabinet has felt obliged to
read a lesson in basic morality of
public office to the President ot ths
United States" and “it to a humili-
