President Calls Knox
Casualty Of War;;
May Miss Funeral
BY DOUGLAS B. CORNELL,

IN THE SOUTH WITH PRESI-
DENT ROOSEVELT, April %
President Roosevelt, bronzed and
obviously in improved health
after three weeks in the South,
said last night that Secretary of
the Navy Knox truly could be
termed a war casualty.
There was no hint whether he had
been able to consider the appoint
ment of a successor 10 the Navy
chief. There was every indication
the President would not be able to
attend the funeral
The Chief Executive, who came to
a Southern retreat three weeks ago
to recuperate from an illness of his
own-bronchitis-said he was feel
ing much better.
Death Called Real Loss.
Discussing Mr.. KnoX'S death with
reporters, the President said it was
a very real loss to the conduct of
the war.
Reminiscing sadly of the man who
has directed the mightiest naval
force in history, Mr.. Roosevelt said
every one had been amazed at the
tremendous pace the Secretary had
maintained for the last two years.
He said he was aWfully glad that
nothing had happened to Mr.. Knox
a year ago because the Secretary
had done wonderful job on pre-
paratory work in building up the
worlds greatest Navy. Proportion
ately, he asserted, the Navy ex-
banded far more than ever before
in history and he praised Mr.. Knox
for his part in the expansion. The
Secretary had Congress with him in
this task about 100 per cent, Mr..
Roosevelt said.
The President declared Mr.. Knox
did things, and did them fast.
Message Sent to Mrs. Knox.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he had sent a
message of coincidence to Mrs. Knox
and would transmit another to the
entire Navy
Relating what he termed a rather
nice story about the late cabinet
member, the Chief Executive re-
called that word of the japanese at
tack on Pearl Harder reached the
White House early on Sunday after
noon, December 7, 1941.
An hour later, Mr. Knox came to
the White House and declared that
with the Presidents permission he
was leaving for Hawaii the next
morning.
For man of 81, MIR. Roosevelt
said, that was a great thing to do.
In two days, he recalled Mr..
Knox reached Pearl Harbor. A day
after that, he telepponed the Presi-
dent and recommended the creation
of a board to investigate the Pearl
Harbor disaster. The board prompt
ly was set up with Supreme Court
Justice Roberts as its head

Citizens Association Asks Bon
On Beer at Public Golf Links

Beer drinking would be taboo in
the clubhouses on District golf
courses under the Jurisdiction of the
National Park Service if resolution
sponsored last night by the Ana
costa Citizens Association is
adopted by the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board.
John j. Watson, president of the
citizens group, asserted that his or
ganization is opposed to the renewal
OF a license to the S. G. Leoffler Co.,
concessionaires at golf course club
houses, to sell beer this year.
The objection, Mr.. Watson said,
is based on the fact that children
using the swimming pool adjoining
the clubhouses at Potomac and Ana
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1944-04-29

costa Parks must enter the same
room in which beer is being con-
sumed by golfers and others when
they wish to purchase candy and
soft drinks.
This" Mr.. Watson said, "is where
the first seeds of juvenile delin-
quency are sown. Children were not
permitted in barrooms in the old
days. The beer bars in the club
houses are nothing but barrooms.
The license renewal is due for
action by the ABC Board soon.
The citizens association also voted
to petition the Senate District Com
mittee to acquire site in the South
east area for hospital facilities. 1t
also voted to oppose boxing in Dis
trict schools.

Veterans Rights Bill
Expected 10 Be Ready
For House Monday
BY the Associated Press.

Chairman Rankin announced yes
terday that the World War Vet
Grams Committee has virtually
reached an agreement" on provisions
of the Senate-approved "GI bill
OF rights" and expects to have it
ready for introduction in the House
Monday.
Il think we have a bill that will
meet the views of all those con-
cerned," he said after a closed COM
mittee session. Details of the legis-
lation, Mr.. Rankin told reporters
will not be announced until the COM
mittee has finished its work.
Racial Issue Raised.
Mr.. Rankin's announcement came
shortly after Warren Anterior, ma
tional commander of the American
Legion, told group of House men,
bers the Negro question has no
place" in consideration of the bill
Addressing Texas members OF
Congress at luncheon in the Cap
itol, the Legion head asserted:
1T is unfortunate that the issue
was ever raised. The Negro ques-
ton has no place in this bill. It is
for all veterans, regardless of race
creed or COLOR
Unemployment Clause Is Obstacle.
Since the bill passed the Senate
and went to the House, Senator
Clark, Democrat, of Missouri has
said that opposition to the measure
is based entirely upon the hatred
of certain Congressman for the COL
ored portion of our armed forces
who would share in unemployment
benefits.
The original Senate measure
would provide a maximum of 50
weeks of unemployment compensa-
ton, ranging from SIS to $25 a week
during the two years that the act
would be in effect. In addition, it
would provide educational and vo-
cational training with Government
aid, loans up to $1,000 for purchase
of homes, farms or business prop
erty, disqualification and similar
benefits for veterans of this war.

Ten Billion PeniciIIin Units
Soon Will Be Ready for Civilians
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Ten billion units of penicillin can
be allotted to civilian use under
the newly announced program of
distribution through more than
1000 hospitals designated as depots
by the War Production Board, it
was learned today.
WPB said it could be assumed
deliveries will begin "in the very
near future" though no date has
been set for the first commercial
shipment of the mold-type of drug
which has proved an anti-bacteria
agent frequently of greater effec-
tiveness than the sulfa drugs.
Establishment by the WPB of the
ONCE of Civilian Penicillin Dis
tribution in Chicago to authorize
Nationwide channeling of the drug
to designated hospitals indicates
that supplies for civilian use will
be steady, though limited.

GENERAL SOMERVELL
REVIEWS WORK

WASHINGTON-The United States
now makes in a single day more Army
supplies than were produced for the
Army in the entire fiscal year Of 1910,
the Army Service Forces annual report
from Lit. Gen. Brehon Somervell to IN
dersecretary of War Robert Patterson
and General George c. Marshall reveals.
This record, a tribute to American labor,
is one, according to General SomerveI,
lin which the entire nation may take
pride"
The AsF report, covering the pro-
curement Of practically all Army supplies
except aircraft for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1914, names as important ac-
complishments of the year.
The production of a grand total OF
40. 600, 900 tons of cargo shipped over
seas, compared with only 100000 tons
the preceding year. About 60 per cent OF
the Army cargo went across the Atlantic

AT VERY Low LEVEL

Workers in the CaudrOn aer0nautlcal
factory sabotaged production during the
occupation to the point where just four
planes were made each month. Today,
liberated, they are back at work and
hope to produce 10 planes a month.
"Goeland", the first plane produced
since the liberation, made its first flight
on october 20.
At the Berliet works, 1900 workers are
employed, compared to the $500 Of pre-
war days. output is SMALL 20 trucks a
month. 1t is hoped to increase this to
400 by the middle Of 1945
During February 1914, the whole
French automobile industry produced
only Is cars and 1900 trucks.
Annual pre-war output Of the French
shoe industry amounted to some 60 mil
ion pairs. In 1912, only million pairs
were made. AS most of these were sent
to Germany, the French had to veal
wooden-soled shoes or pay 5000 francs
for pair of leather-soled shoes.
The monthly output of coal wa'
3, 100000 tons in 1889, rose to 4 millior
in 1912, then dropped to million by
May, 1914.
The French textile industry, before
the war, met all domestic requirements
and exported about 100000 tons in ad.
dition. OF these exports 100000 tom
were cotton yard goods and 10000 tom
were woolen yard goods. In 1914, France
was producing only 45OO tons Of wooler
goods, 35 of silk, 10000 of flax, and 9,OOt
or hemp. Total pre-war output was g.
million tons In 1912, it was million
and in 1949, it rose to 2.3 million.

In the last war, 100000 men were
moved to France and one-half ton per
month maintained a soldier.
In addition to supplying our own armed
forces, American industry has also fur
nished enormous quantities of military
aids to our Allies, especially England
and Russia, and completely equipped a
large French army. Russia received
$4,000 trucks, 1000 tanks and 6O0O other
combat vehicles alone.
These records were achieved, the re-
port pointed out, at the same time new
developments and innovations we're con-
stantly introduced. Scarcely a single
weapon used by the CT overseas is the
same as was provided on December 1,
l941. His infantry uniform is a new
model, warmer yet lighter; his .45-cali-
Der submachine gun has three times the
firepower of the old Thompson gun; the
.30-caliber carbine replaces his old AS
revolver. not a single piece of heavy ar
tillery from the 155-mm. up is the same
design as pre-war days. Other important
new items includes the MA tank, the ba-
zooka, the amphibious 2la ton truck, 1s
different rockets, new flame -throwers

transport vehicles.
