NaWAsksi siorRockeis,
Now Major Weapon
In Europe and Far East
Dy the Associated Press.

~ e&A9 AeooSA8bou EACc9s
The rocket, fired from both planes
and ships, Is emerging as one of
the outstanding weapons Of the war
both In Europe and the Far East, 1t
was evident today from the Navy's
newly expanded arlmunition-pro-
curement program.
In announcing cutbacks In Its sub
marine-huilding program, the Navy
explained that one reason was to
place additional manpower In in
dustries making war sinews that are
more urgently needed.
Explaining that 1t needs rock
ets-rockets to fire from planes and
ships, and 1t Is impossible to get
too many Of them," the Navy said
that its 500, ,000, 900 per month am
munitton-manufacturing program
would be doubled when the rocket
program reaches It's peak"
The announcement came in the
wake Of accounts from battle zones
showing that rockets are becoming
more and more important In reduc-
ing enemy strong points, straf1ng
airnelds, clearing invasion beach,
heads and dealing With surface and
undersurface craft. Rocket-flring
planes and rocket launchers mount
ed on surface vessels are being en-
ployed extensively against the jap
anese in the Pacific.
Noting that this war requires un-
precedented amounts Of heavy am
munition, the Navy said that pro-
duction schedules of bombardment
ammunition had been increased
more than 5000 per cent since 1912
and still I'VE are barely keeping
our nose above water"
As an example of the ammunition
expenditure, the Navy reported 1t
has fired more than 41,000 tons of
shells into Japanese and German
shore fortiflcationS alone.

of such declarations is that the
colored man, while forty-six per

only about thirty per cent of the
crime. If the electric chair in

this information clearly. But why
do not these people rise in mass to
