Knox and King Report
To President Today
On Midway Battle
PorIey Is Slated After
Roosevelt Lunches With
Marshall and Hopkins

President Roosevelt today ar
ranged to receive flrst-hand re-
ports from Secretary of the
Navy Knox and Admiral Ernest
j. King, commander in chief of
the United States Fleet, on
progress of the great naval bat
tie in the Central Pacific.
Secretary Knox and Admiral
King were scheduled to confer with
the President at pm. after Mr.
Roosevelt had lunch with Gen.
George c. Marshall, Army chief of
staff, and Harry L. Hopkins, lease
lend administrator.
1t was presumed that Mr.. Roose-
yelt would review with the Navy
heads the entire situation in the
Pacific following the major United
States victory over japanese forces
which attempted an invasion of
Midway Island last week.
Word on Pursuit Awaited.
Meanwhile, the American public,
having received no detailed official
information on fighting in the Gen.
tral or Northern Pacific since Sun
day night, awaited word on progress
Of American naval units seeking out
the retreating Japanese remnants
of the Midway battle.
The last report or any kind came
last night from Pearl Harbor, but it
revealed nothing Headquarters of
the Pacific Fleet said there is
nothing to report from the Central
Pacific area
limped back toward home, observers
at Pearl Harbor expressed the opin-
ion, according to the Associated
Press, that the Japs sought hiding
near home waters, where they would
prepare - with reinforcements - for
another face saving" assault against
American defenSes in the Pacific.
Last Thursday morning the
mightiest naval force Japan ever
sent across the international date
line-reportedly the bulk of that
countrys sea poWer-launched a
heavy attack on Midway Island,
Americas westernmost bastion in
the Hawaiian group.
Saturday what was left of the feet
after a relentless pounding by
United States sea and air forces
skunk away to seek hiding in home
waters.
Contact with the enemy was
lost Saturday night, said Admiral
Chester w. Nimitz. commander of
the Pacific Fleet. But before contact
was lost. official reports said, the
Americans had dealt this bitter
punishment to the enemy:
At least three warships sunk, II
more heavily damaged and the ac-
companying air arm practically
wiped out.
Against this liquidation of Jap
snese sea power, announced United
States losses were one destroyer
sunk, one airplane carrier damaged
and some planes destroyed.
Official reports listed these cas-
ualties to the enemy in addition to
the disastrous blow against its air
arm:
Two Cpossibly three aircraft car
riers and one destroyer sunk.
One aircraft carrier possibly tWo)
three battleships, four (possibly six)
cruisers and three transports
damaged.
Thus, whatever dream Japan may
have had for occupation of the
Hawaiian Islands was turned into a
nightmare of destruction.

Ey the Associated Press.

r, the Associated Press
Belief that the Federal Communi-
cations Commission lacks power to
make newspaper owners ineligible
for radio proadcasting licenses was
expressed today by Louis c. Cald-
well, Washington, counsel for the
Mutual Broadcasting System.
But, Mr.. Caldwell told a House
interstate subcommittee studying
proposed changes in the Communi-
cations Act, "A lawyer must be
reckless indeed to prophesy what the
Supreme Court will hold these
days"
Specific Stand Urged.
The FEC recently held prolonged
hearings on the question of joint
ownership of newspapers and broad
casting stations and pending a fina
ruling as to its powers in this re-
spect has deferred action on ap-
plications of newspaper owners fol-
broadcasting licenses.
The legislation under considera-
ton does not specifically cover the
newspaper-radio situation, but wit
nesses have suggested that any new
law should be specific in stipulatine
that the commission shall not de-
prive an applicant of a license solely
because he publishes a newspaper.
Should it develop that the COM
mission has this authority. Mr. Cald.
well told the committee. 1T would
be far more just to make it ap-
plicable simply to future instance,
rather than to have it retroactive.
Too Much Red Tape.
Mr.. Caldwell said he believed the
present Communications Act ha.
certain defects which call for
amendment" and certain aspects
Of the commissions procedure "are
unsound and not calculated to reach
the best results or to achieve
justice to the parties and to the
public"
While in general the proposed new
legislation has several commendable
features" Mr.. Caldwell said, 1T goes
too far In the direction Of proce.
dural red tape and unnecessary ob-
stacles to the efncient and expedi-
tious administration OF the act"

|ndia's War Output
To Be Stepped Up;
President Told
Grody, Back From Orient,
Sees Foundations Loid
For Big Increase

Henry F. Grady, who reported
to President Roosevelt today on
results of a special American
mission to assist in the develop
ment Of India as a production
and supply center for the United
Nations, said he believed that
Indian war production could be
increased to a degree that would
make that front largely self
sustaining for many types Of
munitions.
Mr.. Grady told reporters as he
left the White House that the mis-
sion which he headed had laid the
foundations for a large expansion
OF industrial activity. with the ex-
tent Of such expansion depending
on actual military requirements.
Emphasizing that he considered
the India Burma China front as
one of the most important theaters
OF the war next to Russia, Mr..
Grady said the aim was to develop
India as source of supply certain
types of munitions for United Ma
tions forces in that area.
U. S. to Send Machine Tools.
He pointed out that production of
such complicated weapons as war
planes and tanks was not contem-
plated for India but that such things
as rifles. shells. bodies for many
kinds Of motor equipment and other
necessary tools of war could be pro-
duced in large quantities there with
the help Of equipment to be sent
from the United States.
He estimated that If recommen-
dations made by his mission were
carried out, Indian production could
make that front self-sustaining on
this type Of equipment within q
year or so.
The mission recommended that
numerous types OF equipment, par
ticularly machine tools, be sent to
India from this country on a lease
lend basis. 1t also made recon-
mendations for internal adjust
ments within India to facilitate war
production and relieve transporta-
tion congestion.
Mission Very Successful.
Mr.. Grady said he felt the mis-
sion had been very successful and
had had the fullest cooperation
from the Indian government which
has designated three members OF
the council to study the mission S
preliminary report and take steps
for implementing its recommenda-
! tions.
He pointed out that India has
| good mineral resources, including
iron and coal for an efficient steel
industry, as we'll as such strategic
materials as manganese and mica
Although the mission has con-
cluded the major portion of its
work, Mr. Grady said small organi-
zation was being set up here to
maintain contact with Indian ON
cials and that some experts prob
ably would be sent to India to take
up specific problems in carrying
out its recommendations.
