ATTACKS BY SUBMARINES
 SLA(kS OFF
Secretary of Navy Says Protective Methods
 May Be Effective

WASHINGTON. April '. Secre- tary of Navy Frank Knox reported today that German submarine at tacks on shipping along the Atlantic Coast of the United States dropped off considerably last week.
 The Secretary said the drop might be due to protective methods re- gently enforced by the Navy.
 Discussing the submarine situa- ton at conference with the news men, Secretary Knox said the Navy's experience with the U-boat raiders throughout the North Atlantic have shown they operate in waves
 The Secretary asked the newsmen "in preparing stories it is necessary to keep that fact in mind because these waves may have been dealt severe blows or the decline in coast al attacks of last week may be due to some methods newly developed by the Navy"

CONCESSIONS BEING MADE
 BY BRITISH
Agrees 10 Appointment of Indian as Defense
 Leader, New Delhi

NEW DELHI, India, April ' Great Britain has agreed to ap- point an Indian as Defense Min ister, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, presi- dent of the Moslem League, said today.
 The concession was made by the British war cabinet as it's reply tc Indian criticism against the or iginal British proposal of India's post war indepsncence, as a last stand to save the proposal from failure. Britain is offering post war dominion status to India, but many groups are rejecting the proposal because they say India should have control over her own defense during the war.
 Despite the conciliatory offer and renewed efforts by President Roose- velt's special envoy Louis John- sen, sent to help with negotiations, the Hindu All-Indian Congress party is expressing objections to other phases of the program.
 Signs are growing that the whole plan will probably fail of getting general Indian acceptance It has been learned that Johnson has been in recent touch with the White House regarding the con- ference.

The W ashingto ion
 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASHINGTON = A short time ago Australian Minister Casey re- ceived cable from Melbourne which read:
 Please arrange meetings for me with heads of AF of L and ClO. Want no lahledah entertainment while I'm in Washington"
 The instruction came from Caseys boss, Australian Minister of Ex- ternal Affairs Herbert V. Evatt.
 Casey, extremely popular with Washington social upper crust, had to reply that he did not know any American labor leaders, could not arrange the introductions. Casey has since resigned as Australian Minister to enter the British cab inet, but his chief, External Min ister Evatt, is now in Washington and is the most invigorating visitor this country has seen since Winston Churchill.
 Reason Minister Evatt wanted to meet U. S. labor leaders wes be- cause he is a member of one Of the few labor governments in the world, and because he is convinced that American labor could profit by some of the mistakes and les- sons of Australian labor.
 Tn Australia" says Evatt, we haven't had one strike. Labor has patched up all it's differences for the duration. We have the same factions that you do-like your AT of L and CIO-but there's no quer- rel between them now. The last thing they want is to row while the country's in danger

Life Is Very Alarming In SkagwaY

A visitor to Juneau tells this story:
 Several weeks ago, the fire alarm sounded in Skagway. The night watchman at the power plant thought it was the air raid alarm He immediately doused all of the lights in town.
 Then the woman in charge of the air raid alarm saw the lights go out and thought the Japs were coming. So she sounded the air raid alarm.
 The night watchman at the power plant heard this and thought it was the all-clear signal He turned all of the lights back on.
 While all of this was going on, the house which was on fire when the fire alarm was sounded, burned to the ground.

Members Of Congress DeIuqed win Mail as
 Constituents Gel Busy
By JACK STINNETT

burst of economy sentiment in Congress is getting close to home in a way that is a little embarrassing to some Senators.
 Ever since the clamor about Trip pery" and "coordinators of coordin- ators" started echoing around Cap itol Hill. Senators and Congressman have. been making speeches about the mountains of protest mail they have been receiving from the folks at home.
 Senator Tydings D.-Md0 saw what was coming-a demand for mores secretarial help to take care cf the mail Last year it was pro- posed that each Senator be allowed an additional S4,5O0-a-year assist ant, but the bill was defeated after sharp debate.
 As Chairman of the Legislative Appropriations Subcommittee, which ltCOilliIlClluS iiOW llluCii SiiouiQ bC spent for secretaries, Tydings made up a table showing how many let ters each Senator received from January 8 to February 28, inclusive -51 days. He inserted the table into the Congressional Record.
 His object, he drily informed the Senate, was to show what Senators claim they are receiving in the way of mail and what they have actually received" He hoped to evolve a system which will be fair to all and which will bring the greatest amount of relief to those who have been overburdened with mail"
 Tydings granted that Senatorial mailbags have been bulkier since voters really warmed up to the sub jects of labor, war effort and econ- omy. but he suggested that even so some of his colleagues may have been letting their imaginations run.
 What did the table show? Well, here are the first ten dnot neces- sarily the ones who have been do- ing the most talking):
 l. Senator Brooks tR.-IllD av-
