Air commanders believe that Ger

belief has been made firmer by sat-

the size OF American operations

Inadequate numbers of planes and

The step was taken. the commits

that only one-tniro of the refrig-

stage icing and that the railroads
need not furnish such equipped cars
unless they could do so without
otherwise unnecessary switching

Later the commission issued an
order prohibiting railroads from fur

Public Hearings Seen
As Key 10 Economy in
Handling Money Bills
Bridges and Byrd Urge
End of Closed Sessions
By Appropriations Unit

BY the Associated Press.
A proposal for public hearings
before the Senate Appropria- :
tions Committee on the huge
money bills which now are pre-
pared behind closed doors was
advanced today by Senators who
said the idea might help effect
economies in Federal expendi-
lures.
Senator Bridges. Republican, of
New Hampshire, told reporters he
believed the public ought to have
the benefit of testimony taken from
the heads of Government agencies
and should be informed of commit
tee decisions as they are made. SEN
ator Byrd. Democrat, of Virginia
said he believed such a system might
increase public demands for cuts
in non n-eSsential expenditures.
Unlike most committees consid-
ering policy matters, the appropria- =
tions group now takes testimony in
closed sessions and makes it avail
able to the public in printed form
only after it has acted finally on the
money bill in question.
Many Increases Effected.
Senator Bridges, a member of the
group. said this system makes it
difficult to overturn any committee
action, pointing out that in nearly
all of the money bills considered
thus far in this session the group
has recommended increases in vari-
Gus funds over the amount previ-
ously allowed by the House. In
most instances the Senate has ac-
Cepted the committee recommended
tions.
Because of the speed with which
many of these bills are acted upon
in the Senate. Senators have a hard
time familiariZing themselves with
all Of the details" Senator Bridges
said. If they and the public had
greater opportunity to study some
of these appropriations there might
be more economies"
On the other hand, Senator
Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma
said it obviously would be impos-
sible for the Appropriations Com
mittee, of which he is chairman. to
hold public hearings on War De-
partment requests for funds, since
many of these involve military Sc
CretS.
Votes 30 Billions.
The Senate gave speedy approval
yesterday to three appropriation
bills aggregating an outlay of s3O,-
1856 100000 for the fiscal year be-
ginning July l. Two of these. a ST.
$4,000. 600 measure for the Navy
and s262l ,000, 900 appropriation
for independent agencies of the
Government, received final congress
sional approval and went to the
White House.
The third, providing funds for
the Interior Department. was lacked

LuII in U-Boaf War
May Preeede Nazi
Offensive, Knox Says
Enemy PIons Undergoing
Some Changes, Navy
Chieftuin Believes
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Navy Secretary Knox went out of
his way today to dispel any ideas
the public may have that the U-boat
is licked simply because Atlantic
sinkings have fallen off sharply. In
fact, he virtually forecast new
Axis submarine offensive in the
Atlantic.
Progress in the Allied anti-sub-
marine campaign is very salts
factory" he told press conference
yesterday but hastened to add that
realistically we know they are going
to do something"
II would say" the Secretary de-
clared, that the lull in fighting out
there now must indicate some
change in the plans of the Ger
mans
Mr.. Knox emphasized his opin-
ions were pure guessing but he
put no qualification on the state
-ment that we'll get an increase in
sinkings" of Allied ships.
, The Secretary thus reflected the
views of qualified authorities here
who have privately voiced appre-
hension over increasingly optimis-
tice reports on the progress of anti
submarine warfare. These reports
have been chiefly based on factual
information about decreases in the
number of Allied ships sunk and in
activity on the part of submarines
in the North Atlantic.
Mr.. Knox said he believed Ger
man plans were simply undergoing
some change, what, he didn't know.
One theory of informed persons
Is belief that the Germans are re-
lying on the submarine to attempt
to break down any invasion thrust
against Europe. This might lead to
a decision on their part to conserve
their strength until the crucial mo-
ment.
It may have been a U-boat that
ended the career of the Coast Guard
cutter Escanaba, disclosed by the
Navy to have sunk with all hands
except two of the crew, after an ex-
plosion. The 718-ton vessel was
torn amidships by an explosion that
could have been caused by a tor
pedo, a mine or some internal mis-
hap. while on convoy duty in the
North Atlantic.
