Nearly a Dozen Worships a Day
Scheduled for ~ Knox Says
100000 Officers and Men Will Be Needed
To Man New Vessels, Jacobs Asserts

The Navy, already quadrupled
since 1912, will add new vessels
this year at the rate of nearly a
dozen a day, Secretary of the
Navy Knox disclosed at a press
conference today.
Vice Admiral Randall Jacobs,
chief of the Bureau of Navy Per-
sonnel, who attended the confer
ence, estimated that nearly 100000
men and officers will be needed to
man the newly commissioned craft.
Mr.. Knox predicted that a national
service bill will be necessary to sup
ply these compliments plus the
manpower needs of the Army and
industry.
The personnel chief estimated
that the Navy's total strength by
the end of 1914 will be 100000 Off
GERS and men, while the total for all
naval services, including Marine
Corps and Coast Guard, is expected
to be approximately 100000.
Admiral Jacobs added that the
strength of the Navy will
not be reached until some time in
1945, but said that he believed
"leveling off" in inductions could be
started by the end of this year
when the 100000 mark will be
passed.
In disclosing the rate Of ship ad-
Evening star., 1944-03-14

ditions Mr.. Knox said the number
of ships in the feet has increased
from 913 on January l, 1912, to 4,167
on January l, 1914.
In 194l, he said, the Bureau of
Naval Personnel provided crews for
an average of one new ship daily; in
1912 there were "a ships commits
stoned each day, the following year
the rate was Sc ships daily and ''in
calendar year 1914 the estimate is
an average of lit ships commits
stoned each day."
The Navy, Mr.. Knox said, has
been increasing its Selective Service
quotas and recruiting young sea-
going officers for anphibious op-
erations, cargo transports and de-
stroyer escorts. Also, he added,
shore stations have been "combed'
for sea-going officers, the capacities
of new midshipmens schools have
been increased and a new one
opened, and the November l gradu-
ating date in Naval Reserve classes
in 81 colleges have been advanced.
Still the manpoWer need continues
The Secretary also announced that
naval airmen in the Pacific now are
destroying japanese planes at the
rate of 13 to every l lost by them.

President Expected
To Act Soon 10 Defer
Key War Workers
Move Due to ForestoII
Druft Bourd 'Ruids' on
Young Technicions

White House action to fore
stall draft board raids" on vital
war plants stated with younger
men was expected today, with
the emphasis laid on protecting
men in must" war programs. s
President Roosevelt was expected
to clarity" his memorandum Of
February 26, which called for a re-
view of all occupational deferments
and which, production officials con-
tend, led draft boards to crack down
on skilled nonfathers under 26, leav-
ing men with children virtually un-
touched.
The Presidents memorandum, in
formed sources said, resulted in a
split in Government circles, the War
Department contending it wanted
younger men to do the fighting and
production officials predicting havoc
in must" war programs through the
drain on skilled men.
War Department Acts.
UNDERLYING its attitude toward
younger men, the War Department
has formulated new regulations
banning occupational deferments
for all but a few hundred of it's
$500 male employees in the 22-to-25-
age group, department spokesman
disclosed.
While present deferments will not
be Cancelled, the spokesman said,
they will not be renewed in this age
group except where the command
ing general personally certifies that
an individual is indispensable.
The department previously led the
field in restricting occupational de-
ferments when it voided deferments
of its employees between the ages
of 18 and %. Subsequently, Sc
lective Service applied that order to
men in that age group throughout
the Nation, with few exceptions.
War Manpower Director Paul v.
McNutt who went to the White
House yesterday with War Produc-
ton Board Chairman Donald Nelson
predicted after the visit that the
President would act within "a
hours" to clarity" the draft pic
ture.
Major ReviSions Asked.
The VINO and WPB chiefs, who
were expected to have a program
ready to present to the President
today, were reported requesting these
major revisions in draft policy:
l. Use some means to impress or
draft boards that pre-Pearl Harbol
fathers are not to be given defer
ment priority over highly skilled
nonfathers.
2. Change the basis for granting
occupational deferments from the
mans occupation to the plant where
he works, with WPB calling the roll
of plants where large-scale defer
ments should be allowed
One production official asserted
that the emphasis now is being
placed on few vital programs from
a production standpoint and that
the same emphasis should be placed
from manpoWer standpoint.
Difficulties Outlined.
Although man may be a skilled
machinist, he pointed out, he may
be deferred TO work in plant
which is not SO important now il
the war program. At the same time
