NESHOBA DUE TO ARRIVE IN YOKOHAMA TODAY; DEBARKING TIME UNKNOWN

The Neshoba, making its first trip into Japanese homeland waters, is due to arrive in Yokohama harbor today after a three-week trip from Seattle.

As late as 3 a.m. today, when this edition of the TRIBUNE went to press, the actual schedule for arrival beyond reaching a designated point outside the harbor was not known.

The arrival at this area, designated "Point Able," was set for 5 a.m., and it was believed that the pilot boat would be picked up at that time.

Debarkation, in suntan uniforms, was scheduled for 97th Division troops anytime after 9 a.m., although it is possible that members of the division may remain aboard until the afternoon, depending upon docking arrangements.

Yokohama is Japan's main seaport. It is a city the approximate size of Baltimore, Md., and is on the same latitude as Norfolk.
