Secretary of the Navy Knox today
questioned whether aerial bombings
Of German submarine bases along
the northern coast of France were
doing direct damage to the U-boats
holed up there between forays into
the Atlantic.
Mr.. Knox, estimating that the
enemy had 800 to 400 submarines
presently available, told a press con-
ference he was unable to say how
effective the bombing attacks were
in direct hits" and emphasized that
some of the stalls dn which the
submarines are kept are heavily
protected"
The Secretary was asked in start
Ing the discussion whether the
bombings had been effective and he
replied: well, If you put 1t that
way, III say they are effective. They
certainly are doing some damage
If nothing more than disrupting the
life Of the community"
He then added that he could not
tell just how effective the attacks
were nor could he say "how effective
in direct hits" they had been.
Some Of the stalls are heavily
protected, you know" Mr.. Knox
continued.

Lorient (two Of the bombed sub
basing centers) and they are small

ping the big block busters on them
would disrupt pretty thoroughly the
life in the community"
Asked whether there was any evil
dence of an increase In the U-boat
force now on active operations in
the Atlantic, Mr.. Knox replied there
was no such evidence and said the
Atlantic situation "has been pretty
stable lately"
His estimate of 300 to 400 subs
was considerably more conservative
than those of many naval men who
have placed the German submarine
strength at probably 400 to 500
possibly even more.
Mr.. Knox did not say whether his
figure covered only the U-boats
actually in the combat force and
excluded those used for training,
but distinction between combatant
and training submarines could ex-
plain the apparent conservatism Of
the Secretary's estimate.

0PA in D. Ignores
Ruling Permitting 4
Draftees Extra Gas
Men Called TO Report
For Induction Denied
Free Use Of Autos

Throughout the country, men who
have been inducted and have been
placed in the inactive reserve OF the
armed services for week may drive
around more or less freely to clean
up their affairs.
But not in the District.
Even though the national OPA
said that inductees, during their
last week of freedom, may use their
cars as their condolences direct, the
legal staff Of the District OPA has
ruled informally that such motor
lists come under the same restric-
tions as ordinary civilian motorists.
And under the pleasure driving ban,
civilians may drive only for highly
essential purposes.
h Victory Gardeners Hit.
The local OPA also has ruled that
Victory gardeners may use their
automobiles to get to their plots Of
land If they are away from home,
but they may not obtain additional
rations for this purpose. Getting to
Victory garden Is not considered
pleasure driving-but, at the same
time, 1t Is not regarded as occupa-
tional mileage.
The question concerning selectees
is one that has been worrying local
induction station officials, and espe-
cially the inductees themselves, ever
since the pleasure driving ban went
into effect In January. The national
OPA's legal staff reported that the
matter had never been brought to its
attention by any Of the local boards
and that, therefore. no order had
been issued. But the legal division
also said its attitude on the question
was that an inductee In the inactive
Reserve Is regarded In the same light
as a serviceman on furlough. who l.
allowed to Use an automobile to
make social calls.
AS a matter of fact, an OPA
spokesman admitted, some local
boards have gone even further. At
least one board In an Eastern State
was known to be issuing extra gaso-
line rations to servicemen who ap-
piled for them while on leave. When
the national ONCE protested mildly
the local board said 1t would con-
tinue to follow its generous policy.
After ALL" the board wrote, I'VE
have to live with these people"
Draftees Get No Leeway.
The legal division of the local
OPA had said earlier that inductees
would be given no special consider
alton and that they would be gov
erned by the same regulations ap-
plying to civilian motorists.
After the national Office gave its
opinion the matter was again put ur
to the District OPA. The answer
remained the same: Inductees in
the inactive reserve may use theil
cars only within the limitations per.
mitted them as civilians.
Victory gardeners were told thai
they may use whatever mileage they
may have left over in their "A
books for getting to and from theil
plots. Theoretically, 80 miles in tn.
basic ration book are regarded a.
occupational driving and the re.
naming 80 may be used for othel
purposes within the limitations o,
the pleasure driving ban.
So, although persons cultivatin&
Victory gardens may not obtain ad.
ditional gasoline to get to them, the,
may set aside as much Of their "A
book mileage as they can spare ant

Critics OF American wartime trade
with Spain had Acting Secretary of
State Welles' assurance today that
it is In line with the interests Of
the United States and has had no
effect whatever" on the amount OF
petroleum available here. .
Mr.. Welles issued q statement last
night emphasizing that the trade
with Spain, discussed in q BARGE
Iona speech last week by Carlton
j. H. Hayes, American Ambassador
to Spain, Is . two-way business
through which this country obtains
goods 1t needs and which it does
not want to 60 to the enemy.
Ambassador Hayes disclosure that
Spain is receiving oil, cotton, food
and other products to aid in the
restoration of her economy, stirred
criticism from some members OF
Congress and brought charges that
the State Department was "appeas-
ing" Spain.
Some Senators Aroused.
Some Senators were particularly
aroused by Mr.. Hayes ste tement
that the amount Of petroleum. prod
ucts available In Spain is "consid
erably higher than the present per
capita distribution to the people
of the Atlantic seaboard Of the
United States"
Mr.. Welles explained that care
fully restricted quantity of pc
troleum" is going to Spain from the
Western Hemisphere, all Of it except
packaged lubricants being obtained
from sources outside the United
States, and transported exclusively
in Spanish tankers." The oil pre-
sumably is taken directly to Spain
from the West Indies by the Spanish
tanker feet.
This has had no effect what
soever on the quantity of petroleum
available to any consumers In the
United States" Mr.. Welles asserted
He said the restricted amount being
shipped meets only minimum cur
rent needs of Spain and does not
permit accumulation OF stocks.
Pointing out that Spain has Ger
tain commodities needed In the
American war effort, Mr.. Welles
added:
1T is naturally in our interest
that those Spanish commodities
needed In this country should reach
the United States rather than fall
into enemy hands, and to accom-
plish this a trade program is neces-
sary. The trade program with Spain
has been carefully reviewed by the
joint chiefs Of staff"
Trade Is Controlled.
He explained that the program
Is subject to control system Jointly
maintained by the United States
and Great Britain and measures
to make sure that the supplies going
to Spain are not allowed to reach
the Axis. directly or indirectly.
AT press conference earlier Mr.
Welles said representatives OF ali
the United Nations would be asked
to attend a conference. which Presi.
ident Roosevelt disclosed last week
was being considered to discuss post
war cooperation in stabilizinR the
worlds food supply. He indicated
that these representatives would be
technical experts, rather than gov
eminent heads, and that the pro-
posed meeting would be held soon
In this country.

during the day with Hjalmar J
Procope, Finnish Minister, and later
