Almost everything l arranged
with the President in the sense
that it must be kept from the enemy
and I have nothing to tell about
it except that the two English
speaking nations were never closer
together; never more earnest in
their desire to engage the enemy or
in their wholehearted resolve to run
all risks and sacrifices to wage this
war with vigor and carry it to a sue
cessful conclusion" he said
The United States is building
this year four times as much gross
tonnage as we are building and
will build eight times to 10 times
more the prime minister contin-
ued.
He said that distorted accounts"
of feeling in Britain regarding the
Libyan defeat were reflected in
headlines in the United States say
ing: Commons demand Churchill

Such an atmosphere naturally
was injurious to the British repre-

war regardless of risks and sacri-
flee than ever before as a result
of Churchill's talks with President

wildly cheered as he left the froii'

fail in our duty.

Field Marshal Erwin Rommel,

that victory is in his grasp. if he

must be fully conscious that if he

He has struck. Are the British
ready for him? All l can say is
that in the front line the British
think so The Imperial forces are
convinced that they are going to
fight this time to finish.
1t must be remembered that
Rommel as we'll as the Imperials
have taken hard knocks. There are

10 Inventions Inspired
For Wartime Service
Go On Exhibit
Guns, Amphibion Tank
And StubiIizer Amono
Those Less Secretive

AS examples of the promising
Ideas turned over to the Army and
Navy for testing and development
the National Inventors Council
placed on exhibition today in the
main lobby of the Commerce De-
partment Building 10 inventions
which it has received recently.
The exhibit contains two machine
guns. One is working model of
a rapid-fire gun and the other is
an operating machine gun of 80
caliber, air cooled with non-recoil
features. Also on display is an am
phibian armored tank, capable Of
operating on land or travelling
through water.
Milk Weed Utilized.
Another feature of the exhibit is
. flying suit filled with milk weed
floss. Following a suggestion re-
ceived by the National Inventors
Council. milk weed is now being
gathered commercially for the Navy
as a substitute for kapok. formerly
imported from the Far East. Be-
cause of it's buoyancy in water this
floss gives the flying suit the quail
tiles of a life preserver.
Also on display is a compact
sound-recording unit used by the
Navy for special purposes in actual
warfare at sea. This apparatus
makes possible the accurate and
prompt recording of sounds in such
. way that they can be analyzed.
Another exhibit is an electrical gen.
Grating unit of compact size that
can be operated by the application
Of heat from any source.
GyroscOpe Rival.
A rival to the gyroscope for stabil-
king purposes, an apparatus called
the static equipose, is another In

included In the exhibits. For the
duration. ofacials Of the council
explained today, these symbolic
packages will have to represent to
the general public hundreds of in
ventions submitted by the inventors,
scientists and laymen that cannot
be shown now because the Army
and Navy consider them 30 impor-
tant that they cannot be exhibited
or described to the public"
Seek Ship Protection.
A net or screen to protect ships
against torpedoes is the invention
most often suggested to the Ma
tional Inventors Council, 1t was re-
vealed today. Several thousand de-
vices for protecting ships against
torpedoes already have been re-
ceived. During the First World
War, the Naval Consulting Board
received 6,740 similar suggestions.
Since Pearl Harbor, the council
has received $1,000 suggestions, or
over 1000 month. Since it's organ
ization two years ago, it has re-
ceived 100000 ideas from the Ma
tion's inventors.
The council, headed by DR..
Charles F. Kettering, vice president
