CHURCHILL TALKS
ON SUB WARFARE
SECRETARY KNOX MAKES
STATEMENT COVER
ING HIS VIEWS
oBy Associated PressD

WASHINGTON, April 49,
When news was received here
tday from London that Prime
Minister Winston Churchill had
told the House of Commons that
the Allies have been far more
than holding their own in the
submarine warfare, reporters
called on Secretary of the Navy
Frank Knox to remind him of
his statement of two days ago
about the heavy loss of ships
in March.
Secretary Knox, in reply to
questions, said that what he had
said was true and that what Mr..
Churchill had said was true al
so. Knox pointed out that
Churchill's statement covered
a period of six months, while
his was confined to March.
Knox added that, considered
from a viewpoint of six months,
smaller losses from sinkings and
faster ship building have given
the Allies decided advantage
over the ravages of the U-boats.

Finally, a government vessel

later, and went to the assistance
of the launch in distress. The
fishing boat was taken in tow
and brought into Key West.
On the way in, however, both
boats ran aground on sand banks
west of Key West and difficulty
was experienced before they
finally reached port.
Members of the party aboard
the launch declared they were
very grateful for their rescue
by the government vessel and
said that members of the crew
deserve a lot of credit for bring
ing the disabled craft and those
on board to safety.

could no longer operate profitably
under this basis and that the ho-
tel would be closed this month.
Cost of foodstuffs, lack of suffi-
cient supplies and labor shortage
was other reasons given by the
management for desiring to close.
Since last December the hotel
has been occupied at capacity
of two hundred and fifty people
and had the hotel been allowed
to close about one hundred and
fifty officers and one hundred de-
pendents would have been home
less because of the housing situa-

Lieutenant Hyatt stated that the
hotel would operate with mini
mum of changes. Most of the
present employees will continue
under Navy operation. For the
present there will be no changes in
the rates charged both for rooms
and meals.
While the dining room is now
closed, Lieutenant Hyatt plans
to resume serving meals in the
near future. Improvements to the
beach and opening of the tennis
and shuttle board courts are
planned.
