INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 10
The United States, producing fight
ing ships on heroic scale, is at the
beginning of ultimate victroy, Secre-
tary of the Navy Knox says.
The Secretary, at a press confer
ence last night, asserted that the
United States was Just getting away
to a good start" and we now are
in a position to dictate where the
fighting will take place"
I'VE are in the beginning of a
situation which will lead to ultimate
victory Mr.. Knox said.
At a rally opening the second war
loan campaign, Mr. Knox told of
the growing might of the Nation S
Navy and said that production of
fighting equipment, mainly aircraft
carriers and destroyer escorts, was
on a heroic scale"

He said that in 1943 the NAVY
will complete more new fighting
ships than were in service at the
end of 1912 and disclosed that the
fighting fleets tonnage will increase
IS per cent this year. without allow
ing for probable battle losses.
Mr.. Knox also told of Navy pro-
ductlon plans for next year. assert
ing. "We will make further addi-
tions in 1914 to insure the oblitera
tion of japanese sea power and tc
sweep the German and italian u
boats and surface ships from the
seas"
He warned, however, that "the
worst of this war lies ahead of US
and that German undersea power
is IAN ever-increasing peril"
To combat that and other perils
the Navy Secretary said. "our ef-
forts this year will be marked by two
special accomplishments upon which
we have bent our energy and all our
will-airplane carriers and destroyer
escorts. The number of car
riers, both large and auxiliary, COM
pleted in 1943 will multiply many
times our total carrier force at the
end Of 1912
Striking Power Increased.
"As for destroyer escorts designed
for submarine warfare, the number
to be completed in l943 will be
greater than the total number of all
destroyers in service on December
81, 1912. ~
But these impressive figures on
numbers and tonnage of new naval
vessels do not tell the whole story
Secretary Knox pointed out.
THE growth in the fleets striking

author of the Austin Wadsworth
national service bill, told the confer
ence that every adult civilian owes
it as his duty to his country to
serve where he or she best work
in support of the armed forces and
help win the war quickly.
Supporting his bill for compulsory
national service by all adults be-
tween l8 and so years of age, Rep
resentative Wadsworth said:
That is the democratic principle.
1t is exactly parallel to the funda-
mental principle of selective service.
There is no distinction between the
two principles.
Points to Australia.
There is tremendous amount of
work that women can do" he con-
tlnued, and know there are thou
sands and thousands who do not
today know what to do for their
country and where to do it. The
Government doesn't know where you
women are, who you are, and what
YOU can do. The Government doesn't
know YOU Women's power is a
tremendous weapon which can
shorten this terrible war and save
innumerable lives
The speaker cited the example of
Australia which has an inclusive
national service law. "They love
freedom" he said, "just as much as
we do, and they fight for it," He
concluded by saying that 1T is high
time that We here in America mobil-
lze every ounce of strength we have. :"
He was followed by Senator john
son, Republican of Colorado, who
spoke on voluntary enlistment of
women.
Johnson Attacks Proposal.
There is vast difference Sen
ator johnson said. in drafting a
man for the armed forces and draft
ing man or woman to work for a
private employer making fat profit
out of that work! The Army belongs
to all of us and is mobilized for our
mutual defense and protection,
while private industry is operated
for private profit. They can not,
therefore, be considered to be on
the same plane"
He characterized the Austin
Wadsworth bill as direct violation
of the Thirteenth Amendment to
the Constitution. He said TT would
place Federal bureaucratic autocracy
in control of the liberty of American
citizens.

Try Again 10 Capture
Donets Bridgeheads
1900 Men and Many
Tonks Lost in Attack
South Of BoIokIeyo
By EDDY GILMORE,
Associated Press War correspondent

MOSCOW, April 1O.-Massing
new forces, the Germans have
tried again to smash the Red
Army line south of Balakleya
but have lost more than 1900
dead and a number of tanks in
the battle for bridgeheads along
the Donets River.
In their newest thrust, the Nazis
sought to drive through the Russian
line to reach an unidentified settle
ment but they were forced back tc
their original positions.
The army newspaper Red Star said
that battles are fierce in this area q
miles northwest of Izyum but there
is no indication that the assaults
are on the gigantic scale which the
Russians turned back on the north
ern Donets line.
Nazis Using Fresh Forces.
Front dispatches said the Germans
were using fresh forces south OF
Balakleya. The biggest single attack
was with 20 tanks and an infantry
regiment thrown against a narrow
sector A hail of artillery, machine
gun and rifle fire met them, and sue
cessive enemy charges were smashed
Seven German tanks rumbled out
OF a ravine toward the Red Army
line to open the attack. but close
range fire by Soviet artillery and
anti-tank guns destroyed several
and the others turned and ran. Sub
sequent assaults were smashed by
Russian batteries, Red Star said.
The noon communique did not
mention fighting in the sector south
of Izyum, but the Red Army pre-
sumably still holds it's original
bridgeheads all along the river.
No Large Scale Clashes.
There still were no large-scale
fights on the western front, but in

Message by De GauHe
Seen as MINIMIZING
Eisenhower Incident
Fighting French OfficioI
Sends Allied Leader
Ardent Good Wishes
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, April 10.-Gen.
Charles de Gaulle, leader of the
Fighting French, sent a message
to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower,
commander of the Allied armies
in North Africa, pledging that in
the present North African strug-
gle "the ardent good wishes Of
the French people 60 with you
with you personally and with the
gallant Allied armies under your
command"
The Fighting French leaders COM
munication apparently was aimed
at dispelling the feeling in some
quarters that there were differences
between Gen. de Gaulle and Gen.
Eisenhower.
The Fighting French made no
effort to conceal their disappoint-
ment recently at Gen. Eisenhower S
request that Gen. de Gaulle delay
his scheduled visit to Gen. Henri
Giraud, high commissioner for
French Africa.
First Public Expression.
The message was Gen. de Gaulle's
first public expression since his
headquarters announced last Mon
day the requested postponement of
his trip and expressed regret over
the delay.
The text of Gen. de Gaulle's
message
AT the moment when great and
hard battle is engaged under your
command I would like to tell you
that the ardent good wishes of the
French people go with you-with
you personally and with the gallant
Allied armies under your command.
These good wishes of the French
people have the same inspiration as
their urge for unity which they want
to be able to bring about quickly and
which will allow them to increase
their efforts in our common war.
. BE assured that today France is
proud and happy that from the
north to the south our forces par
ticipate with their British and
American allies in the battle which
will liberate the whole of her African
empire"
CatrOux Returns to Britain.
Meanwhile, Gen Georges Catroux.
Fighting French delegate to Syria
and liaison officer between Gen. De
Gaul!e and Gen. Giraud, returned
to Britain from Algiers to report on
his discussions with Gen. Giraud on
unif1cation of all French forces
fghtlng the Axis. The News Chron-
icle said he would present a set of al
ternate plans for united French gov
erning councils in which Gen. De
Gaulle and Gen. Giraud would share
top leadership
The News Chronicle said it had
learned from an "unimpeachable
source" that two plans had been
worked out by Gen. Giraud and
Gen. Catroux during their recent
conferences for submission to Gen.
De Gaulle.
One was said to call for the forma-
ton of triumvirate with Gen.
Giraud as commander in chief of all
French fighting forces, Gen. De
Gaulle as minister of war, and Gen.
Catroux has high commissioner. To-
gether, under this plan, they would
direct the activities of the French
empire against the Axis.
The second plan was reported to
be directorate of seven members,
including Gen. Giraud. Gen. De
Gaulle, Gen. Catroux and others,
operating under a chairman to be
selected each month.
