ORDERED TO SHIPS

The Navy Department spokesman said that the broadcast was sanctioned, but he did not disclose the reason for the order. The Navy Department authorities state that a large number of unidentified surface vessels were reported by a naval patrol 450 miles off the California coast. A thorough search failed to confirm their presence and the report is considered to be an error.
