Frank Knox SAYS
preparations for
Ind Front Are on

WASHINGTON. June -. CUP)-
Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox
said today that preparations for
opening a European front have been
going forward, right along."
Asked at his press conference for
comment on renewed Russian pleas
for second front in Europe. Knox
Gaid he would not comment Spe-
officially on the Soviet plea but he
added:
Preparations for an attack on
Europe have been going forward
right along. There has been no
cessation in these activities"
He said he was not at liberty TO
discuss details about second front
plans in specific terms. PARTICULAR
as to time and place.
NO INTERFERENCE
Knox said that so far as he
knew there has been no interfer-
ent with Russian supply ship
movements from the United States
across the Pacific to VladivoStok.
Those supply lines are still func-
tiCning SO far as I know" he said.
Whether the Japanese are holding
up the ships and examining them l
don't know. But nothing has de-
velOped on that route which would
provide an international incident.
Both sides apparently are keep
ing very carefully away from any
thing that would precipitate an in
cident while the Russians are oc-
cupied with Germany on the west.
and Japan doesn't want to take on
Russia
Asked whether he knew of any
Russian ships being seized in the
Pacific as had been rumored in re-
cent days, Knox answered.:
Il don't know of any"
LINES OPEN
AS for the United States Pacific
supply lines, they too. are function
ing, he said. Any losses which have
occurred, Knox said, have been an
nounced.
Asked for information as to the
progress of the us. aircraft carrier
building program, Knox said he
could repeat only what he said in
a recent speech. and that was that
the number built at the end of this
year would be several times the
number in existence at the end of
1912.
Would you say several times the
number at the end of 1941?" a re-
porter asked.
Yes Knox replied, explaining
that he meant carriers of all types,
first line and auxiliary.
They're going into commission
right along and there has been a
steady addition to the fleet he
added.
PLENTY OF PLANES
Knox also said that there would
be plenty" of planes for these new
carriers.
Knox was asked about Axis radio
reports that American fleet units
had Joined with the British in the
Mediterranean. He said he knew
of no such movement although
some American elements may have
gone into the Mediterranean on
mission and come out again He
reminded the neWsmen that the
Mediterranean was the responsible
ity of the British fleet.
In the North Pacific. Knox said.
bad weather was interfering with
the bombing of Kiska. He said the
japanese might be able to sneak
through the American blockade to
supply the Kiska garrison by sub
marine but he said the undersea
boats could not bring in enough to
maintain the enemy force.

Nszis Hit New

RY UNITED PRESS

Nazi propagandists hit new
high Tuesday by broadcasting the
claim that Russia had lost more
than 20,000,000 men killed, wound
ed and captured in two years of
war with Germany.
The Berlin radio quoted Nazi
military sources that the Germans
had taken 5,500,000 prisoners in
Russia, adding that if the killed
and wounded were included: "The
Soviets lost a total of more than
100000 men"
Russia also lost at least $4,000
tanks, $4,000 guns and more than
10000 planes in the two years

Leave Ny Heart Alone

II would be rather nice, though.
Karen thought, to invite that odd
young man, to show him that peo-
pie like herself did mingle with
others, that she was not such a
snob as he had thought her. For
the Festival was not at all formal,
and all Of the guests. regardless Of
social position or financial differ
ences, mingled freely and were on
the same footing.
Karen had gotten up early every
morning that week to take her
dip in the ocean. She had fingered
longer than necessary, perhaps, on
her stretch Of private beach, but
she had not encountered her trailer
man, as she thought OF him, again.
He was not in sight this morn
ing, either, she thought, the morn
ing OF the Festival, with so much
to attend to in last-minute details
that she had no time for lingering.
He had said he took his daily sprint
each morning at this hour. She
didn't see why he had forsaken this
particular part Of the ocean 'front.'
age; surely she had been very care
full not to remind him that il was
considered private property. Maybe
he had given up looking at the
ocean or maybe he and his ridicu-
lous trailer had moved on some
where so as to be nearer the sea,
although he had said he had found
a very Jolly" place to settle.
She pulled on her cork-soled san
dsls. frightened the cord OF her
white robe, tossed her blond hair
out OF her eyes and started slowly
toward the underground tunnel
that led beneath the boulevard to
the big house. Jim Bell had had it
built years ago so that his two lit
tie daughters would not have to
cross the road and risk the heavy
winter traffic OF sightseers and
tourists in order to reach the beach.
1t was the only underground pas
sage in the vicinity, another out
standing feature Of the big house,
like its high tower from which an
observer could see far out over the
horizon and in all directions for
many miles.
Karen quickened her steps as she
went down the fight Of steps lead
ing to the tunnel. She did not al
ways use 1t, but she would this
morning. She supposed the door
was unlocked as 1t usually was dur

door not only was unlocked, 1t was

CHAPTER EIGHT

SINCE SHE had decided that
she could not do all the things
waiting to be done at one tme-or
even think as far ahead as her
wedding day, Karen put the Fes-
tival first on her list 1t was called
a festival for want Of name, and
not because it commemorated any
special date, although 1t was given
at the same time each year, during
the full moon, or harvest moon, as
some called it.
Karens mother had begun 1t by
inviting not only the friends and
relatives OF the big house, but all
the towns people, and anyone else
who cared to attend. The lawns and
gardens were strung with lighted
lanterns,-there was an orchestra
for dancingN prizes for games,
feast spread W.T. on long tables
from which everyone might help
himself to barbecued hams and
chickens, salads and desserts and
iced punches Jim Bell had carried
on the tradition, although, as he
thought when discussing 1t with
Karen, this might be the last year
for it. II America got into the war,
and many people considered 1t in
already with the present about
program of help to England, such
festivities would have to be post
poned for the duration.
In talking over plans with Cousin
Ellen, phoning, making out lists,
running errands, Karen did not put
her heart in this Job more than
ever before because she felt 1t
might be the last time, but rather
because she wanted the Festival to
be more OF a success than ever be-
fore. For this time it would be to
commemorate something special,
the betrothal OF the daughter Of the
house.
Not that that would come as
much OF surprise to the guests and
townspeople. Everyone in town, re-
duced to the intimate perspective
without the tourists, who soon
would swell the population to dou-
bic or three times its number, was
interested in everything that went
on among those who were consid-
cred natives" II did not matter
whether some lived in veritable
palaces on the ocean front or re-
sided in more modest one-story
dwellings. II you were a year-round
resident, and therefore citizen,
you were one Of chosen few.
OF course an outsider, like Mar
tin Halliday, would not come to the
celebration; its guests did not in
elude people who lived in trailer
camps, or even any sort Of tourist
These might be a necessary evil
TO the tradespeople and the like
but the real natives rather resented
them deep down In their hearts
