 The Brazilian Governments ship ping line, the Lloyd -Brasileiro, to- day announced suspension of all sailings of Brazilian ships to the United States.

 HIS VIEWS,
 OCEAN WAR

WASHINGTON, March 11-Ad- miral Hart declared today the Jap anese won the first great campaign of the war on the Pacific because of unfaltering air superiority but paid heavy cost in ships sunk or damaged that must give them great future concern"
 The former Chief Of the Allied Naval forces in the Western Pa cific has just returned to Wash ington from the theatre of oper- ations and discussed the Western Pacific conflict.
 Secretary of Navy Frank Knox called the reporters to confer ence in the presence of Admiral Hart and the latter made the state- ment given. Reporters asked whether the Allies offensive count CT action or frontal attack was de- signed to roll the Japanese north ward in the Dutch East Indies and Hart replied: "A frontal at tack is always the most difficult kind of attack while flank att tack is usually easier"

President Says United Nd- lions Make Take
 Offensive

WASHINGTON, March 11-Presi- dent Roosevelt in his message to Congress today on the first years report of the operation of the Lend Lease program, said that the offen- sive of the United Nations must and will drive to the heart of the Axis. It will take all the strength we possess"
 The President asserted in the letter transmitting the Lend-Lease report that the war will be won only by contact with the enemies, by attack upon them.'
 That takes time said MT. Roosevelt, flor the United Nations need more and still more equipment and transportation. Success will come dearly at the price of defeats and losses"
 The report showed that total of $2,570 100000 has been given for Lend Lease aid in the past year.

PRODUCTION E TAGGING
 NELSON
War Industries Charged with Working at Only
 50 Percent Capacity

WASHINGTON, March II = The war industries of this Nation have been bluntly told they are oper- ating only at 50 percent capacity although we are faced with m enemy determined to destroy us. "
 Bespeaking a determined public demand for faster production and no fooling," Donald M. Nelson, Production Administrator, blamed the current lag of production to many things.
 Nelson said many industries are reluctant to increase the number of shifts; there is also a faulty flow of materials and an utter lack of imagination of how urgently war supplies are required to fight our enemies.
 Nelson admitted there was a shortage of men for certain special ized facilities but he voiced the belief in a radio broadcast that all difficulties could be overcome if the Government, labor and industry arrangements worked together in concerted efforts.

INDIA OFFER
 0FD0MINI0N
 STATUS TOLD
Churchill Will Send Sir Stafford Cripps as
 EmissdrY

LONDON, March II. Prime Minister Winston Churchill repeated Britain's promise of dominion status to imperilled India after the war when he announced that a precise plan already has been drafted and that his ranking aide, Sir Stafford Cripps, will go to India as an em- issary to seek general Indian accept ance to the promise of India's self government within the British Com monwealth after the war.
 The offer, which was first made in August, 1940, so far has failed to mollify Indian nationalists, but Churchill's long-awaited statement in the House of Commons disclosed the Governments order to "clothe these declarations in precision to convince all classes, races and creeds in India of our sincere resolve" to carry the move out, has gone a step farther than was agreed.
 The detailed plan, however, didn't disclose the exact nature of the Brit ish concessions.

JAP LEADER E AGAINST
 EVACUATION
Says California Nippons Will Lose Billions
 in Move

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, March 1.-The forced evacuation of Jap anese farmers in California will result in the losses of billions of dollars, Ncbumitsu Takahashi, Ag- ficultural Coordinator for the North ern California District Council of the Japanese American Citizens League, declared.
 He made the estimate as army authorities were planning to begin a forced evacuation of Japanese from the West Coast military areas within 10 days. The army renewed pledges that families would be kept intact.
 Takahashi said: Japanese farm CTS stand to lose approximately $l00 900 .000 in investments, but due to the complexity of the economic system, billion dollar investments also will be lost to other Cau- casians."

WASHINGTON = Harold Mosko- wit, hard-hitting head of the New York State Affiliated Young Demo- crats, went in to see Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia the other day and sug- gested that the Mayor attend a cocktail party at which Governor Lehman also would be present
 You don't have to put your arm around him." said Moskovit. Just come to the party and go through the motions of patching up the old campaign wounds.'
 The Mayor turned and looked out of the window. Moskovit, who had worked hard for LaGuardia's re- election, continued to plead for polit- ical peace between the two political leaders of New York who once had been such good friends.
 Harold" said the Mayor finally, haven't you enough troubles of your own?"
 T suppose so.''
 linen why do you LaKe on some body elses?"
 NOTE 1: Real reason Governor Lehman got sore at LaGuardia, and nearly accomplished his defeat for reelection, was not so much that LaGuaria called him a "goniff,' which is Jewish for thief" but be- cause LaGuardia insinuated that the Lehman family, with Judge Irving Lehman head of the New York Court of Appeals, controlled both the ex- ecutive and judicial branches of New York government.
 NOTE 2: With the present split between LaGuardia and Lehman, Tom Dewey seems certain of being the next Governor of New York. Probable Lieutenant-Governor will be Roland Marvin. ex-Mayor of Syracuse.

Seven Enemy Ships Re- ported Sunk or Dam-
 aged in Air Raids
CONCENTRATIONS ARE
 SHATTERED, E REPORT
New Convoy, However, Approaching Port Mores-
 by, Which Is Bombed

CANBERRA, Australia, March II
 Beating violently at the Japan csc invasion flotillas, nevertheless apparently still being marshalled above Australia's mainland. the Royal Australian Air Force reports seven enemy ships are known to have been sunk or damaged in the waters of the coast of New Guinea.
 It is known that two ships were sent down by direct hits. others were set afire and probably sunk and one craft was beached in flames. Two ships were so badly damaged that they are believed practically useless.
 The announcement is made in an official Australian Air Ministry communique this morning listing the results of series of smashing assaults on the Japanese ship con- centrations. off the New Guinea coast and especially in the harbor of the Port of Salamau, where the first invasion forces landed.
 But even as the air arm of the Australian defense forces continued its running counter offensive ac- ton, large new Japanese convoy is reported heading for Port Mores- by at the southern end of the New Guinea coast, only 300 miles from Cape York, on Australia's main- land.
 The Australian Cover ment makes no denial of Associated Press observers that there has been n aerial assault by the enemy on Port Moresby, made by twelve Jap anese bombers. Neither does the Associated Press nor the Australian Government make an immediate announcement of the damage done in this Japanese thrust.

LONDON, March 11.-Germany's newest and mightiest battleship, the 35,000-ton Tirpitz, made it's first known contact with the British forces last Monday when it was at tackled by torpedo planes off the Norwegian west coast.
 The British Admiralty, in making the announcement, said the damage done, if any, could not be determ- ined.
 The Tirpitz was, however, last seen returning to it's base under cover of smoke screen.
 Any attempt to attack our con- voy was frustrated" the Admiralty's statemena said, without indicating whether the Germans attempted to raid supply ships on voyage to Russia.

SEATTLE, March II. = Police Judge William F. Devin was elected Mayor of Seattle yesterday, defeat ing Mayor Earl Millikin almost three to one after bitterly waged cam paign.
