Navy Secretary Promises
Much Equipment To

MAJOR EFFORT MADE
Declares That Day OF
Shortages Is Nearing
End For Nation

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.
-P) - Secretary of Navy
Frank Knox said today much
more" in ships, planes and
submarines "is now on the
way to the Pacific" to inten-
sify the unceasing battle
against the Japanese.
"We are exerting a major
effort in the Pacific, and this
effort will be increased and
intensified as time goes on"
he said in an address at a
Chamber of Commerce lunch
con.
.1t is certainly true there have
been occasions when we h v e
lacked the men and the material
that we felt we needed. There
were times in the past when we
simply did not have available the
men, the ships and the planes that
we wanted to send to the Pacific
area. But the day of shortages
is nearing an end"
The Navy secretary, here on a
tour of West Coast war plants and
military installations, said h a
during June, the Navy accepted
combat planes at the rate of ap-
proximately 10000 year. This
figure, as good as it is, he said,
may be expected to go still higher
in the next six months.
Knox said it would be fatal to
accept our accomplishments of
the past year with satisfaction. "
For on the day our progress is
equal to our desires, ION that day
we will begin to lose the war"
Yet, he said, in the first half
of 1943 there is much to enter on
the profit side of the ledger:
In the Pacific, we are no longer
on the defensive-at sea. 1--WE are
offering battle more often than we
can find takers"
In the Aleutian theater, on the
island of Attu, 1--WE have given
the Japanese enemy blow which
he will not soon forget-and he
may expect more of the same. y
In the Atlantic, the Axis forces
and supply lines which aided in
the invasion and liberation of AT
rica.
In the Mediterranean, Italy has
surrendered a number of vital out
post islands.
And in all western Europe and
parts of Scandinavia, Hitler and
Mussolini frantically prepare for
the awful hour Of invasion, al
ready threatened by ever-growing
signs of devastation fr m the
skies"
''Those who persist hereafter in
saying that we are making only
half-hearted efforts in the Pacific
completely disregard the fact that,

GERMANS RETREAT
NEAR D0R0COBUZH
'Nazis Admit Reversal AS
Fighting Blazes On
Critical Sector

LONDON, Saturday, July 3 -
P)-The German radio acknow-
lodged last night that Nazi troops
had "fallen back to strongly forti-
fled new positions" near Dorogo-
buzh, on the Moscow front about
so miles northeast of Smolensk-
an area where the German high
command itself earlier had re-
ported repeated Soviet attacks al
though claiming that all had been
repelled at that time. The broad
cast was reported by the Associ.
ated Press.
The flareup of fighting on one
of the most critical sectors in
Russia was not specifically men,
toned early this morning in the
Russian midnight communique
recorded here by the Soviet mon
itor.
It +ola, however, Of Soviet in
fantry charges which occupied
German trenches in one sector
of the "western from" the Rus
sian term for the Moscow front.
Reinforced German o p S
launched fierce counterattacks in
that sector but all of these were
repulsed by artillery, mortar and
rifle fire which killed 900 officers
and men, the bulletin said. The
Soviets were said to have taken
some prisoners and a quantity Of
material.
In the Caucasus the Germans
broadcast a report of increased
fighting, and said that one Soviet
contingent had attacked their
bridgehead there after making "a
landing near Novorossisk,' the
Black Sea naval base. The Ger.
mans declared this attack had
been finally repulsed" after a
fierce fight.
The Russian communique made
no mention of the Caucasus, but
earlier Moscow dispatches told OF
Soviet bomber attacks on the Ger
man-occupied ports of Kerch and
Senaya in the Kerch strait area.

Congress and with the press, does
not subside soon, it may occur to
the French committee at Algiers
to call in the correspondent of the
Associated Press and have him
publish a lecture On the necessity
of unity in order to get on with
the war. Let us hope that this
dreadful idea has not occurred to
the committee, or if it does, that
their wisdom and good taste will
be sufficient to prevent them from
any self-righteous interference in
our affairs.
Our domestic affairs are, how.
ever, in a state which must cause
every American to blush when he
compares it with the devotion and
the sacrifice of the men in our
armed forces. He must blush be-
cause in fact there is nothing in.
herently wrong with the country.
Therefore, the spectacle we have
made of ourselves this week is a
reflection upon our capacity for
self-government. There is nothing
in these problems which is not
readily soluble and manageable by
lucidity of mind, by resolution OF
character, and by disinterested
spirit which puts aside vanity,
puts aside pride Of opinion, and
puts aside resentment. the situa-
ton cannot however be manipu

The War Production Board, one
of the agencies seeking to allevi-

Greater Wilmington Chamber of

suggest no methods of relief.
Answering the chambers re-

admitted the governmental agency
was familiar with the condition
existing in this area due to the
limited available supply of ice.
He wrote MIR. Fockler that ''im-
mediately upon the receipt of your

featuring plants throughout this
area, would possibly be able to
give some assistance, in which

vert fruit and vegetable shipments
through Atlanta instead of by the
East Coast.
''The Atlantic Ice company ad
vises. however, that with the alb
Sence of any coastwise shipping,
and fruit prices two to three times
what they previously were, the
tremendous quantities of fruits and
vegetables are requiring three
times as much car icing in the
Atlanta area as was formerly
taken care of in the same period.
This increased load necessitated
the Atlantic Ice company to ship
ice into Atlanta from points as
Tar away as Chicago and St.
Louis, to take care of the ca,
icing; and being controlled by price
ceilings, are not able to pass or
this increased cost.

the Atlantic Ice company that
possibly within a period Of two
weeks from now there may be g
let-up in the excessive demand fol
ice, and at that time conditions
may improve.
