ned to the WLB the dispute in
volving about $50 workers on the
extension of the Oklahoma New
Jersey oil pipe line at the Missis-
sippi River link near Cape Girardeau,

ing Co.
The men have been on strike

ForrestaI Insists
On Postwar Fleet
Urges Adequate Strength
To Curb Ruffiuns'
BY the Associated Press.

bN tne hSSOCldleQ Press.
BALTIMORE, May 11-Under-
secretary OF the Navy James v. For
restal says both the Navy and the
Merchant Marine must be main
tanned in the postwar years because
there must be police power and
adequate strength = to curb the
rufflans of the world
1--WE have that power now" Mr..
Forrestal told Navy Night audience
at meeting sponsored by the Mary
land Historical Society. I'VE must
resolve to keep it.
I'VE must have the will to use it,
as we shall use it, not for conquest,
but to implement our faith in the
gradual evolution OF mans ability to
live decently with his neighbors.
The position which the FIRST
World war gave US in the freight
and passenger trace on the world
sea lanes was lost by inertia" the
Undersecretary said Possibly the
tragic implications of this period can
be more spectacularly pointed up
by the statement that between 1893
and 1886 we caused to be destroyed
or junked something on the order of
l40 destroyers."
Mr.. Forrestal viewed Congress as
the proper instrument through
which we can express our determine
ton that the powerful fleets which
we are now building shall never be
allowed to disintegrate and that the
merchant ships which we need to
conduct operations in the far cor
ners OF the globe shall not be allowed
to rust in pathetic disuse in our
inland harbors."

Knox Says U. 5. Fights
For Own Preservation
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 11.-Secretary of
the Navy Knox yesterday described
the Nays part in the North African
expedition as a "transcendent sue
cess" and of the war in general he
asserted:
I'VE are in the war for one funda-
mental reason, and that is the pres
ervation of our country"
Secretary Knox was speaking to
several hundred members of the
Union League Club.
I'VE are not fighting because we
love the British, the Russians or the
Chinese, or because we have great
respect for them" he said
That's the adhesive force that
makes the Allies of which we are
a part possible-self preservation
After the war we must find way
to make this alliance a great world
force to maintain peace.
Il guess we have learned now that
good wishes and signed papers will
not do the job. It's a job that re-
quires sheer brute force. 1 hope
we're building the Navy for the
future safety of the world, and that
when the time comes we will not
shrink from our responsibility"

join the WAITS, Women's Auxiliary

idea that the work is too hard or

Fewer Women Work
In Civilian Industries
Than in November
Need to INCREASE Rate
Of Recruiting Labor
Indicated by Figures
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
In spite of governmental pleas
for women to take wartime Jobs, the
latest figures show fewer women
employed in civilian industries than
there were last November.
The Census Bureaus monthly re-
port on the labor force, giving esti-
mates based on cross section sur
vey of the Nation, shows these totals
mot including women in the armed
forceS):
November, 1942-15 300 900.
April, 1875, 100000.
Manpower Chairman Paul v. Nc
Mutt said last September that $780,
900 women would have to be added
to the total number gainfully en-
ployed by the end of 1943
Since he made that statement,
employment of women rose 100000,
dropped 100000, then increased
again by 100000
Peak Not True Picture.
ManpoWer Commission statistics
said the peak figure of last Novem-
Der was mot true picture" but
the only explanation offered was
increased employment during the
early Christmas shopping season
Gin other years peak employment
of women was reached in Deem
ber).
ManpoWer officials have pointed
out several drawbacks in the cam
paign to enroll women in industry:
Lack of nurseries where mothers
could leave small children during
working hours; the fact that many
of those willing to work live far
from cities where they could get
jobs, and lack of incentive to work
Chose whose husbands are earning
more money than ever before, for
instance.
So far, these officials say, job re-
cruitment campaigns have Skinned
the cream of those willing and
able to work
The census report shows a total
employment (outside of the armed
forces of 52,10000O.
That compares with a total of
$780, 900, which military men. in
calculating the raising of the armed
forces, figured would be required to
meet civilian manpower needs.
The armed forces are figuring on
getting approximately 100000 more
men this year. Subtracting this
number from total civilian employ
ment for April would leave 49,6OO.-
000-or 100000 workers short of
the total the military men figured
would be needed.
Backs McNutt Estimates.
This squares with MI. McNutts
estimates: 100000 women have
been added to the working force
since last September; nearly 4.OOO,-
900 more workers would be needed
on the basis of these figures.
Other figures emphasized in the
Census Bureaus report:
A drop of 100000 from March to
April in the number of persons en-
ployed in no~-agricultural Jobs, but
an increase of 100000 in the num-
Der IN agricultural work, thus a net
gain of 100000 in persons employed
Outside the armed forces.
These figures. the bureau indi-
Gates, reflect these facts:
l. The number of previous non
workers coming into the labor force
has fallen considerably short of the
number required to offset military
Withdrawals.
2. There's strong back-to-the
farm movement Unto almost GER
tain deferment under selective serv-
ice), along with early employment

In Final Advance on
Tunis and Bizerte

LONDON, May 11.-Clement R.
Attlee, Deputy Prime Minister,
told the House of Commons to-
day that Britain's 1st Army had
suffered 1900 casualties in the
final stage of the advance on
Tunis and Bizerte, and total of
8,400 since April II.
The 9th Army casualties from
April 20 to May 3 were just over
2,4OO, including wounded and miss
ing. he said.
These losses, he said, compared
with $4,000 Axis prisoners-mostly
Germans-taken since May 5, and
the number of Axis prisoners is
continually increasing"
The Deputy Prime Minister gave
the governments appraisal of the
crushing defeat inflicted on the
Axis in the first general war state
ment given in the House since the
review February II of the Casa
blanca and Adana conferences, and
it followed a brief secret session of
the House
Mr.. Attlee opened the statement
with praise for the very practical
example of Allied cooperation" be-
tween the armies of the three ma
tons and ground, air and sea forces
obtained under the direction of Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gen. Sir
Harold R. L. G. Alexander.
1t was on the central front, Mr..
Attlee stated, that Gen. Alexander
achieved the break through that led
to the fall of Tunisia's two principal
port cities. Preliminary preparations
included strengthening the lst Army
with formations from the 9th, he
said.
The LIST Army covered the final 80
miles in SO hours, demoraliZing Axis
forces. 1T was Zeal thunderbolt,
he quoted Gen. Alexander as de-
scribing the final thrust.
At almost the same time American
tanks entered Bizerte after a thrust
across extremely difficult country"
he said.
On Sunday morning all that was
left of the German 18th Armored
Division surrendered to the British
7th Armored Division, he said, add
ing: These two veterans of the
desert had been at each others
Threats for the best part of two
years"
Praising the results of combined
actions by the Raj and American
air forces, Mr.. Attlee said that the
number of sorties by our air forces
compared with those of the enemy
was generally something like four
to one and added that the COM
bined Allied air forces gained COM
plete domination of the air, Un-
Outstanding between ground and
air forces reached pitch of per-
lection that we never hitherto at
tanned" he added.
