BERN, Switzerland, Oct. 81
French women, barricading tiny
town halls against German doc
tors sent to examine their men
for the Hitler labor draft, have
won one of the first victories in
the campaign in the unOccupied ID
zone against forced work in the
Reich.
A new series of strikes was re-
ported to have broken out, especially
in the Haute- -Savoie Province ad-
joining the Swiss border. and every
neutral dispatch describing the in
cidents said high feeling and dis
content were clearly apparent.
The strikes in every case followed
orders to factory owners designating
the number of workers they we're
expected to furnish in the deal made
by Pierre Laval for exchange Of
workers for war prisoners.
The men, on receiving the an
nouncement, simply quit work and
ip most cases their fellows walked
out with them, the reports said.
Women. young and old, mothers,
wives and sweethearts of the men,
refused to obey orders and disperse
after they collected angrily in front
of the city halls, Journal Geneve
reported.
Men Fail to Show Up.
Police were said finally to have
helped the German doctors into the
buildings, but then the men did not
show up for the physical examina-
tions they were expected to take
before entraining for Germany.
There the matter stood, with heavy
police guards placed about cities
and factories involved.
The strikes, which began Thurs
day at Annecy, Marnaz, Scionzier
and Annemasse in the watch
making region of Haute-Sayoie, con-
tinued. These had been supple
mented during the week by walk
outs at Toulouse, Grenoble, Avignon
and Marseille.
Usually well-informed foreign
circles with Vichy connections said
these demonstrations were respon-
sible, in large degree. for the Ger
mans giving Laval two more weeks
in which to declare formal con-

In 9 Months; ALLEGATION
Plan Due Tomorrow
By JAMES Y, NEWTON.

A brighter picture of munitions
output with the more important
it e m S - airplanes, ordnance,
naval and Army vessels, and
merchant ships-s wing in
creased gains, was given yester-
day in War Production Chief
Donald M. Nelson's report of
September production.
The country is producing war
goods, Mr.. Nelson said, on scale
approaching four times the rate at
the time of the attack on Pearl
Harbor.
The progress report was an
nounced as industry awaited the
revelation tomorrow of the new plan
for allottlng all materials. The new
program is designed to increase pro-
duction efficiency and result in COM
plete industrial mobiliza ton of the
Nation for war. The plan will be
made public at a press conference
to be held jointly by Mr.. Nelson,
Undersecretary of War Patterson,
Undersecretary of the Navy For
restal and Ferdinand Eberstadt,
WPB vice chairman in charge of
materials.
Mr.. Nelson indicated for the first
time in his report that the country
has passed the stage of preliminary
preparation for war and has now
entered that phase of production
where the heavier, offensive weap-
ons are coming out in ever-increas-
ing quantities.
Specifically, Mr.. Nelson said air.
plane production showed a 10 per
cent gain in September as COM
pared with per cent in August;
ordnance was up per cent as COM
pared with 3 per cent the month be-
fore; naval and Army vessels, up
% per cent as compared with per
cent; merchant ships. up 10 per
cent, compared with per cent in
August.
Miscellany Tapers Off.
Overall munitions production in
September was only per cent
greater than August, a decline of
l point from the August gain. That
was attributed to tapering off of
production of miscellaneous NUM-
tions, including such items as Army
motor vehicles, clothing and medi-
cal supplies. Large supplies of those
items already have been produced

nitions" showed no September in

Japs Sink Fourth u. S. Carrier;
Identity Not Revealed by Navy;
MArthur Flyers Destroy Cruiser
Few Casualties in
Attack Oct. 26
Reported
BY the Associated Press.

Ds lux aSsOSidCtu lcoS.
Sinking of another United
States aircraft carrier - the
fourth - in the furious air and
sea battle for control of the
South Pacific, was announced by
the Navy last night, leaving only
three American carriers known
to be still in action.
The latest victim of two japanese
aerial attacks was not identified by
the Navy. She went down near the
Santa Cruz Islands, a tiny spot in the
Pacific about $50 miles northeast of
Guadalcanal, In the same battle
which cost the United States fleet
the destroyer Porter last Sunday
night.
Shortly after the sinking of the
carrier was announced, a dispatch
from Gen. Douglas MacArthur's S
Australian headquarters told of the
sinking early today (Australian time)
of Japanese heavy cruiser and the
damaging of light cruiser and
three merchant vessels by Allied
bombers. These successes. were
scored in the harbor at BUN in the
solomons 300 miles north of Guadal-
canal.
Japs Returned to Attack.
The first assault on the American
carrier, which came before noon,
caused heavy damage, the Navy
reported. She was put in tow in
an effort to salvage the big vessel,
but the Japanese returned in the
afternoon. Bombing and torpedo
planes roared in to attack. This
time the attackers inflicted damage
below the water line of the helpless
carrier.
She began to list. Orders were
given for removal of the personnel
and most of the men were saved.
Then came the final orders-in-
structions to complete destruction
of the crippled ship
The Navy said the name of the
ship would not be disclosed until
after next of kin of all injured OF
missing had been notified.
The vessel presumably came from
among the vessels listed in James
Registry of Fighting Ships - the
Saratoga, converted carrier, COM
missioned in 1925, with tonnage
Of 33 900; the Hornet, commissioned
in 1910, tonnage $4,000; the Ranger,
commissioned in 1888, tonnage A.
500, and the Enterprise, commits
stoned in 1896, tonnage $4,000.
Each of these carriers has a nor
NAL complement of between 1900
and 2.lO0 officers and men, Each
carried striking force of about IS
airplanes-bombers, torpedo planes
and fighters.
Three Lost Previously.
Previously the Navy had an
nounced the loss of three of the
seven carriers which the United
States had at the start of the war
Among them was the Wasp, new
est of the carriers, which went down
in the battle of the Solomons on
September Is The Lexington was
lost in the Coral Sea battle May 8
and the Yorktown in the battle of
Midway June 7.
Loss of the Porter brought to 81
the number of destroyers lost so
far in the Pacific. Other American
vessels suffered lesser damage.

japanese fleet at BUN, Gen. Mac
