NAVY'S PROGRAM
SHOWS PROGRESS
,,,
Knox Declares Every
Effort Bans Made To
Reach Qoal of Two
Ocean Navy
Washington, Jan. 15.?The Navy
Department has launched an all-out
effort to speed construction of a two
ocean fleet, Secretary Frank Knox
hevealed today. ? >
He said most of the nation s Navy
yards have gone on a six-day, 48
' hour week and some have started on
a three-shift system that is being
extended "as rapidly as possible" to
virtually all yards. He added that
in some instances yards may work
two 10-hour shifts to permit over
hauling'- of machinery, but that in. all
cases workers are paid overtime for
work in excess of 40 hours?the basic
workweek. A-.. ..
Knox emphasized that everything
possible is being done to speed up
construction in all yards. ,
Simultaneously, Rear Admiral
gftmnol M. dobinson, Chief of the
Navy's Bureau of Ships, told the
House naval affairs committee that
s the shipbuilding program has been
stepped up to a pace that will see
151 destroyers turned out in the next
three years instead of the suheduled
100. - V
The committee, considering meas
ures to expand and equip the two
ocean Navy, swiftly approved a bill
authorizing a $300,000,000 expendi
ture for better' fleet anti-aircraft de
fenses.
It then heard a request for im
mediate authority and funds to build
280 "urgently needed" submarine
chasers, minesweepers and motor
torpedo boats capable of operating
with the fleet or as escort vessels
anywhere.
Robinson told the committee that
most of these small boats could be
built this year on the Great Lakes,
with some of the construction work
going to small New England ship
yards and the Gulf Coast.
. committee did not take final
action on the Navy's revest for
$315,000,000 for shipbuilding and
$194,000,000 for. ordnance.
In connection with ordnance, Rear
Admiral W. R. Furlong of the Navy's
Ordnance Bureau told the commit
tee that among the reasons addi
tional facilities were needed were:
British pleas for more guns to
arm their merchant ships.
2?The United States Navy's de
sire to have an ample supply of guns
to arm 1,816 American merchant
ships immediately if this country
should enter the war.
Robinson revealed for- the first
time that by 1946 Ignited States naval
power, including combat vessels,
sweepers and auxiliaries, would total
1398 craft. He said the Navy now
bag 782 ships, including 322 major
combat vessels. Another 716 ships
are building, including 639 major
combat units, ind the Navy has re
^tod authority to build 400 small
boats?submarine cbassers, mine
sweepers and torpedo boats.
Knox said the speed-up in navy
yards is being worked out in co
operation with Sidney Hillman, co
director of the Office of Production
Management. _
H$ told a press conference that
some difficulty has been encountered
organizing three shifts because of
the necessity of training foremen
and other supervising officers to
handle the third eight-hour trick.
Action on the bill to provide mow
adequate fleet - anti-aircraft defense*
came after Robinson and Admiral
Furlong gave the committee theii
views on the ability of warships tc
withstand aerial attacks.
Robinson testified that the dive
bomber is a very real threat to war
ships. He saidno one has been abb
to devise protection against then
for destroyers because the necessarj
extra armament would be too heavy.

\
London, Jan. 16.?London bad a
minor bedtone. blitz air raid just be
fore midnight and early today?the
first air attack after dark since Sun
day/but the show put on by the Ger
man bombers and challenging British
night fighters surpassed any previous
midnight performance over the feapi
tal.
A few insignificant fires flared
briefly. The. real show for which
thousands poured into the streets to
see was the smoky vapor patterns
woven upon the crystal clear heavens
by the raiders and toe darting cir
cling, machine-gunning fighters.
The raid began at an unusually
late hour for attacks on London and
the rattle of machine-gun fire over
head indicated the fighters Were in
action.
The "all-dear" sounded during the
early morning hours.
Shortly before the air alarm in the
capital, gunfire burst out over one
London district ,
Before London was attacked, raid
ing Nazi planes were in flight over
other areas of England.
Three bombs were dropped at one
midlands town, falling in a cemetery
and recreation grounds and causing
no casualties. ?
As toe hostile planes droned high
over the midlands, toe force of anti
aircraft fire appeared to make them
fly in circles in an .effort to avc-.d
being hit. .^ J
Two East Anglian towns reported
raiders also.
Earlier, the British surmounted
snow and mist for attacks on Nazi
bases in German-occupied Norway.
In the only continental operations I
reported by the Air Ministry, fliers
of the coastal command were said to
have scored direct hits on the air
base at Mandal, on Norway's Scag
gerak coastline, and Forus, airdrome
for the west Norwegian port of
Stavanger. ? 7 ' ' ? J
One plane also scored two direct
hits on a motorship in Stavanger
roads, the communique continued,
and another bombed an important
railway bridge. ,
The British said weather made ob
servation of the effects 'difficult, but
fires were seen in the woods adja
cent to the Mandal airdrome.
All aircraft returned safely, the
ministry said.
The usual attacks on the in
vasion" ports of German-occupied
Prance and on Germany proper
were prevented by snow and mist.
The weather also brought com
parative peace to the British Isles.
Only a few German planes came
|over yesterday,, two dropping 16
bombs on a southeastern villege
|without .casualties, oro machine

The developing German aerial of
fensive in toe Mediterranean is in
tended to cut. a way through the
British navy for transport of Nazi
jtoafIB to the aid of the hard-pressed
Italians in North Africa, Britisr
military informants said.
The attack by Nad dive-bombers

Reorganization of the United States^
Navy into three fleet?, effective Feb
ruary 1st, may not affect the distri
bution of the more than 800 war ves
[ sels now in service, but it will mean
something- in the distribution of the
units when the Navy is doubled by
the addition of nearly 400 units now
building.
With the main fleet in the Pacific,
stationed at Hawaii, the Navy has
maintained a patrol force of 125 ves
sels in the Atlantic and an Asiatic
squadron in the Far East, in the Phil1
| lipines. and China. The battleships
are at Honolulu, with the exception
of two or three in the Atlantic. In
the Far East are some new cruisers,
destroyers, submarines and gunboats.
The ships being built for the Navy
will more than double the combatant
units of every type, except subma
rines. The 17 battleships, 12 aircraft
carriers, 48 cruisers, 170 destroyers
and 82 submarines will represent an
addition that is equal to any existing
navy in the world today. In fact,
when completed, they will be equnl
to the Japanese navy as .it exists plus
all units known to be under con
struction.
The President's budget * message
followed expectations, proposing ex
penditures of $17,485,049,000 in the
year beginning the first day of next
July. About two-thirds of the total
is for defense, with from two to five
additional billions likely to be re
quested for all-out assistance to the
fighting democracies. The expendi
tures will result it is estimated, in a
deficit of more than $9,000,000,000,
thus increasing the public debt to' an
all-time peak of more than $58,000,
000,000, ? .?
In connection with national de
fense the President pointed out that
expenditures during the last six
months amounted to about $1,750,
000,000. This is a small sum com
pared with the huge appropriations
already made by Congress. Actual
expenditures, however, will increase
sharply during the next half-ydbr
period, being estimated at nearly five
' billion dollars. This will bring us to
the beginning of the 1942 fiscal year,
? during which such expenditures will
' leap to nearly 11 billion dollars.
The President recounted the de
1 fence program, including appropria
tions, authorizations and recommend
' dations, covering the period from
' June, 1940, and including estimates
' ?pr the fiscal ypar that wiU ^d June
1 39, 1942, showing a total of $28,480,
' 000,000. The Army gets $13,704,
[ 000,000, the Navy $11^87,000,000, in
dustrial expansion requires $1,902,
1 000,000 and other defense activities
' takes up $1,2$7J)00,000.
' f ' '
; In discussing the national debt the
Chief Executive pointed cut that na
k tional income had increased more
; than 30 billion j&ollatt above the de
pression depth and that, in the name
' period, wnmal
charges increased by only 400 nudum
dollars, He declared that the bonds

Speed Records
-
London, Jan. 16.?United Statds-,
made bomhere have achieved a break
fast-to- teatime schedule and set a
new translantic record in delivery
flights to England, it was disclosed
today.
The pre-war record for transatlan
tic flights between Newfoundland
and the British Ides was set by the
Cambrai, Imperial Airways flying
boat, In ^ptember, 1987, when die
flew -from Botwood to Foynefl, Ire
land, in 10 hours and 38 minutes.
"That mark has been broken time
and again," said an authoritative
aviation source, in partial disclosure
of speed achieved in the ferrying
which. the British hope will bring
hundreds of pUmes by mid-sumiper.
This source would not, however,
divulge the new record nor say who
holds it
(It is about 2,000 miles from New
foundland to Britain, the Shortest
route from North America. Modern
bombers, under favorable conditions,
could fly that distance in well under
10 hours.)
Captain Pat Eves of British Air
ways, who was flying airliners over
India before the war, is one of the
latest to achieve the breakfast-to
tea time schedule. Eves, 31, said he
was bothered only by the "terrific
cold"
In disclosing that fliers who break
fasted in North America had toft the
same day in England, . the British
gave no close hint of the elapsed
time, since breakfast could be any
time before dawn and teatime from
3:30 to 6:00. * . '? .
It is to be noted, however, that a
flyer en' route to* England from New
foundland would "lose" four and
one-half hours between the time
zones.
It is understood that some of the
machines ? limited to long-range
bombers ? have been piloted by
Americans and Canadians, all volun
teers.
A school for training transatlantic
pilots, it is understood authorita
tively, has been opened in Canada.
One of the most important phases of
instruction is the take-off with heavy
fuel loads| .
The planes thus being delivered
are said to be Lockheed Hudsons*
Boeing 17's Lockheed Vega Ven
turas and Consolidated flying boats,
Air experts are talking of the pos
sibility that the larger bombers
might be loaded with wingless fuse
lages of small fighting planes, for
delivery to England^ This has been
done over shorter distances by
Italians reinforcing their aviation in
Africa.

Friday, Jan. 17 ;
Despite absence due to flu and bad
colds, both the boys and girls basket
ball teams were victorious in both
games in double headers with' Grimes
land and Fountain. The teams divid
ed a twin bill with Pactolus, the
home boys being victorious on Mon
day night In the first double header
with Grimes!and, the girls took their '<
second victory with a score of 24-17.
Lillian Harris.led the scoring with 14
points, but she was well assisted by
Doney Joneg and Rosa Reid Russell.
Although Bill Rasberry and Lester
Turnage were unable to pipy, the
bqys won easily 24-6. The surprise
of the game was the fiixe defensive
work of Bill Carr, substitute guard.
R. ?2. Braxton led the scoring with 9
points, but he was closely followed
by -Bobby Rouse with 8 and Paul
Parker with 6 points.
The two games on Monday night
1 with Pactolus were two of the lo ./est
scoring games yet seen. The girls
lost the opener 12-3. Rose Reid Rus
sell accounted for Farmville's only
/ield goal.
Paul Parker was the only absentee
in the final game, but Rasberry and
Turnage were still not in top condi
tion. The home boys failed to score
in the first half for the first time in
years, However, the boys got under
th@ way quickly in the second half
and tied the ball game up at 3-3. In
the laa^ quartern, foul shot and three

To Invoke Law of Defense
|lm|, -
State Department Chief
First Witness Td Ap*
pear Before Commit
tee Considering The
President's Lend-Lease
Measure "l
Washington, Jan. 15.?Summoning
the nation to "invoke the law of self*
defense before it is too late," Secre
tary of State Hall urged upon Con
gress today the enactment of legis
lation for unlimited supplies of war
materials- to Britain and other na
tions battling a "world movement of
conquest" .
Hull testified before the House
Foreign Affairs committee in sup
port of President Roosevelt's lease
elnd bill.
In a statement of about 3,500
words, he said that if the Atlantic
ocean fell "into German control" it
would "offer little or no assurance
of security.'?
"Were Britain defeated and were
she to lose command of the seas,"
he said, "Germany could easily cross
the Atlantic, especially the South
Atlantic, unless we were ready and
able to do what Britain is doing
now."
Pointedly he asserted that Ger
many, Japan and Italy had made
unmistakably clear ' their intentions
to "repudiate and destroy the very
foundations of a civilized world
*
under law" and to conquer and es
tablish "tyrranical rules over their
victims."
When Hull finished the state
ment, committee members turned
to questioning him . and Rep. Luther
A. Johnson (D.-Tex.) asked whether
a section of the President's lease-lend
bill providing for repair, of belliger
ent vessels such as those of Britain in
United States ports violated inter
national law.
"Nothing but a realistic view of
current developments can be regard- /
ed as a sane view," Hull replied.
' "The question is whether, in the
face of a universally recognized
movement of force to invade and
conquer, peaceful nutions shall wait c '
until the invader crosses their
boundary lines ? or whether they
shall recognize that this Is a world
movement of conquest and invoke
the law of self defense before it is
too late."
Secretary Hull told the House For- ?
eign Affairs committee today that
"control of the high seas by law
abiding nations is the key to the
security of the Western Hemisphere.
The State Department chief ap-_
peared before the committee, as the
first witness on ^President Roosevelt's
bill for aiding Britain and 'other na
tions "fighting aggression" by lend
ing or leasing them war materials
ranging froin bullets to battleships.
? Hull described the measure as one
which would "make it possible for
us to allocate our resources in ways
calculated to provide for the security
of this nation and of its continent."
Above all, he declared, "it will do
all of these things in the speediest
possible manner - and, overwhelm
ingly, speed is our greatest need tor
day."- .????.; .
Secretary Hull asserted that "the v
proposed so-called new order" in
the Pacific means the domination of
one country to the exclusion of the
interests of other nations. * ?
The Secretary of State declared
that "such a program for the sub
jugation and exploitation" of so
many people by one nation was of
"great concern" to the entire world.
Nevertheless, he said, the United
States has tried to show Japan that
her beBt interests would be in
friendly relations with this country.
Hull 'said he was placing before
the committee "the facts" of the
dangers which he said, confronted
Hie Western Hemisphere and "there?!
fore this, cohntry."
