NAVY PRODUCTION
IN APRIL RECORD
Plane and Ship Deliveries
Please Knox; U=BOat
Attacks Increase

Washington, May 4-UP)-Sec-
fetary Of Navy Frank Knox said
loday that the Navy has arrived at
peak production in aircraft and
hips. Records In both plane and
ihip deliveries were made in April,
ne told his press conference.
THE number Of new vessels Of
Mll classes, except landing craft,
completed during the first four
months is equivalent to n 25 per
cent increase in the numerical
strength Of the feet and its aux
Inaries on January /, 1943," he said.
Discussing the attainment of peak
ship and plane production Knox
warned reporters not to assume that
this increased rate would continue.
He said much depended on these
two factors:
/. Labor, in which there is now
q shortage which may become acute.
2. Critical materials, in which
some shortages may develop.
All in all. Knox indicated. April
was a good month from several
angles.
The rate Of ship sinkings was low
as compared to March.
"Just how long 1t will continue
don't know" Knox said. This
thing goes by fits and starts. In
May, 1t may go up. The only thing
that may be inferred from what !
have said L. that things were better
in April"
Not only did plane deliveries set
a new record In April. he said, but
for the first time the number of
combat planes delivered to the Navy
ran to four figures. What these
figures are. he would not say.
Also, he continued, record was
set In number OF ships. excluding
landing croft, which were completed
In April. BY completed, Knox ex-
planned. he meant constructed, but
not fitted out or given dock trials.
Returning to his discussion Of the
subroarine situation. he agreed with
the suggestion that the number OF
attacks on U-boats went up during
April. 1t was difficult to determine
with firauty just how successful
the attacks have been, he added.
He said there was no significant
increase III the number of subma-
rines in operation in April but. he
asserted, the increase In the num-
her of attacks on these raiders
could be attributed to more escort
vessels in service and better ali
coverage for conveys
He was asked whether the new
type 6estroyer-e vessels were
responsible for the decrease In ship
sinkings. Knox indicated that there
apparently were not too many OF
the new vessels in actual service
yet.
1.-The whole production of destroy
er-escort hulls Is ahead Of engines, y
he explained adding that he had
received no report Of any destroyer
escort being In combat with n sub
marine.
However, he said. the British
have been using some U. S.-buil'
escorts and on the whole they have
proved very satisfactory.
When a reporter inquired about
the possible use OF helicoptors foi
protection of merchant ships, Knos
said that they were still in the ex-
perimenal stage. He said they were
still difficult to control. and nc
said that 1t would be quite a task
TO set down such a craft on n pitch
ing ship.
Another factor, he said is that sc
far helicoptors lack sufficient power
10 maneuver In the kind of weather
prevalent IN the North Atlantic
Nevertheless, he said, efforts are
being made in the direction Of
adapting them for use on merchant
man

Kentucky Derby for the last Al
years, figures that staging the
Derby at Louisville, KY, May l
may result in a 100000 loss.
But that doesn't bother Winn
His burning desire is to keep its
record string of 50 unbroken.
The Derby, Americas premier
race for 3-year- -olds, has been run
without interruption since 1875.
Winn has seen all of them.
I'VE have no hope OF showing a
profit" Col. Winn said today. But
that will be all right. We've had a
couple Of good years before and
can take a loss without crying.
THE Derby will be run as sched-
uled even If only two spectators
show up"
The 81-year-old president of the
Kentucky Jockey Club. looking no
older than ruddy, full-faced man
OF so, said spectators would be dis
couraged from coming to the Derby

in order to cooperate fully with

BALTIMORE, Feb. 11.-There will
be horse racing in Maryland this
spring and it will include the SD
running of the famous Preakness

the sport in general will be only a

Gov. Herbert R. O'Conor was ex-

reduce Maryland spring racing to
Is days, with horses running only at
Pimlico within Baltimores city
limits.
Crowds at Pimlico will be under

run spring programs, were given no
