Stoddert dwellings has no termite

ANY one with the slightest expert
ence would have known to be un-

Mr.. Daniels attacked the NCHA
for errors in planning, contending
the unattractive design and con-
crete floors are among important
reasons why the Lily Pond and CAL
vert projects are largely vacant.
Frederick Douglass dwellings are
poorly constructed, and, although
the project is amortized over so
years, wood siding already has been
renailed to keep it from falling off

Mr.. Daniel compared the public
housing developments with what he
said were comparable dwellings
built here by his firm. The Fred
erick Douglass example proves
conclusively the inability of the
NCHA to build low-cost housing"
because on this project the au-
thority had plenty of time and ma
terial, plenty of labor and good
inexpensive site, he maintained.

battleships, battle aircraft carriers,
carrier escorts, cruisers, destroyers,

1t does not include, however, what
Mr.. Knox described as small stuff, p"

The Secretary called attention to
a bulletin from London saying that
the average loss of ships in the
Atlantic from submarine operations
Tor the last half of 1943 was /
ship in each 1000.
Mr.. Knox added that the success
Of the antisubmarine campaign al
ways caused him to warn that the
war isn't over. He said Germany
still has a tremendous number of
submarines in reserve and may de-
eide at any time to renew opera =
tions in the Atlantic.
In introducing Admiral Nimitz
Mr.. Knox said he was very happv
to have at his conference today a
man of whom the entire Navy is
exceedingly proud" Referring to
the fact that the era of British sea
power began with Nelson, Secretary
Knox said, The great era predicted
for the American Navy is beginning
now, and the name of Admiral
Nimitz will have an outstanding
part in it,"
The Pacific commander said that
whatever successes we have had in
the Pacific are due to the selection
OF task force, group and unit COM

Argentina Expresses
Intent 10 Strengthen
Her Links With u. ).
BY the Associated, Press.

MONTEVIDEO, Mar. Cen.
Diego Luis Mason, Argentine For
eign Minister, asserted last night
that the government of acting Presi-
dent Edelmiro Farrell intends to
Strengthen the friendly links be-
tween Argentina and the United
States" and that 1t will adopt "an
measures necessary to the security
Of the hemisphere"
Gen. Mason's pronouncement on
Argentine foreign policy was made
in a statement in which he ex-
pressed surprise at the action Of the
United States in directing Ambassa-
dor Norman Armour to refrain from
entering into official relations with
the present regime in Argentina.
The statement was issued after a
cabinet meeting at which Argentine
foreign relations, especially within
the Western Hemisphere, were re-
viewed. The meeting was attended
by all cabinet members except Min
lister of Public Works Gen. Domingo
Pistarini, who is Ill.
Gen. Mason said Washington's
decision was surprising because, he
declared, 1t is the intention of the
Farrell regime to smaintain the
break in relations with the Axis and
continue international policy along
the lines Of the government Of Gen.
Pedro Ramirez"
Gen. Farrell, Vice President under
Gen. Ramirez, took over as acting
President recently when the latter
delegated his powers to him, pur-
portedly on the grounds of i'll health.
The United States has withheld
official recognition of the Farrell
regime pending clarification of the
manner in which Gen. Ramirez
delegated his authority. Chile and
Bolivia last week recognized Gen.
Farrell as the legitimate successor
to Gen. Ramirez, and Paraguay and
Uruguay were reported yesterday to
be considering a similar move, but
neither has taken action thus far.

which to carry on our operations.
II feel" said the admiral, that
the principal obstacle in the Pacific
now Is not Japs but geography-the
size of the Pacific Ocean. If some
of you could devise means Of
shrinking the Pacific down to one
fourth its size, we could move much
faster. = -ss
We face the futurt;with utmost
confidence"
Questioned concerning the attack
on Truk, Admiral Ntmitz said he
thought the ,,sJaps put up-.the best
fight they could with what they
had. Asked il he was surprised at
the, lack Of any great defense, he
answered in the negative.
Admiral Nimitz told the confer
ence he was disappointed in not
finding major units of the Japanese
feet at Truk, but he was not sur
-prised. He added that our SUBJ
marines, working day and night for
many months, had been sinking a
large number of Japanese tankers
which were necessary in order to
maintain the feet away from its
main bases. The Japs, he said, are
beginning to find out that the main
tenance Of their feet at Truk with
fuel was rather difficult and perhaps
already had decided to move out
their heavy units.
He said the same situation applied
at Saipan In the Mariana group of
Islands, which were attacked by
the same task force which went
into Truk.
When Admiral Nimitz was asked
II he was ready to take on the Jap
feet in showdown fight now, he
quickly gave an affirmative: yes"
He described japanese naval off,
GERS and men as highly efficient
and well trained" adding that mot
in any, sense have they lost their
will to fight"
They're pretty good" he said,
but our people are better than they
are and equally willing to fight.
1T would be to our advantage
to have an early encounter with
the Japanese feet, because we are
prepared to meet them. 1t would
be disastrous for their overseas COM
munications If we could fight an
early engagement and they lost
good part of their feet. My idea
is that they are preserving their
fleet as long as possible"
Admiral Nimitz was questioned
as to the necessity of having bases
in China from which to bomb the
japanese home islands. He said
that they were absolutely necessary
to pound them effectively.
ut is always possible" continued
the admiral, ito attack objectives in
Japan from carriers. but, as we have
learned from bombing in Europe,
1t takes a great weight of explosives
to produce any considerable effect.
Carrier-based planes are not adapt
ed to carry great weight of ex-
plosives against shore objectives."
Admiral Nimitz was asked wheth-
er he thought the airbases on the
China coast should be established
by a naval surface operation or by
taking them by land
Every means, he said, should be
used-either over land or over sea.
The admiral didn't think that we
were ahead of schedule in the Pa
cific but believed that what We had
done SO far has been in the minds
of those charged with the operation
all the time. He did not think it
would require wholesale transfer
Of naval craft from Europe to the
Pacific to 60 all out against the
Japanese at this time, adding that
we had sufficient strength in the Pa
ciflc to meet the japanese fleet now
However, he added, we can always
use more.

|ALLIED WARPLANES
STRIKE In E H | N Al
BY SPENCER MOOsA

CHUNGKING, Dec. 3d. up -
Chinese units in Human province
have killed scores of Japanese
soldiers in an attack by mobile
columns near Hengyang as Allied
warplanes ranged over the whole
China theater to carry out sue
cessful raids on enemy road, rail
and shipping installations, Chinese
dispatches said tonight.
About 100 japanese were killed
and five ma chineguns were seized
when Chinese infantrymen storm
ed enemy positions outside the
north gate of Hengyang at the
junction of the Hunan-KWangsi and
Canton-Hankow railroads, the re-
ports said. Hengyang is 100 miles
northeast of the former American
air base at KWeilin.
An American communique an
nounced that U. S. 18th Air Force
bombers and fighters had lashed
at Japanese commune alton lines
and transportation centers in three
countries, and one Chinese dispatch
said Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chen
rault's airmen had crippled enemy
rivevr transport along the Yangtze
river, main supply line to central
China.
AS direct result of the Ameri-
can attacks, the dispatch said,
Japanese supply troops now are
forced to move most of their troops
and supplies overland along the
riverbank instead Of by boat. There
are indications that the enemy Is
bolstering anti-aircraft defenses al
many points along tire Yangtze in
an effort to ward off the American
blows, the Chinese report added.
On the south China front 14tl,
Air Force Liberators hit and prob
ably sank a Japanese freighter in
the Yangtze Dec. %, and fighter.
bombers raided an enemy ammunl-
ton dump at Leiyang where the
Japanese have built a new air
field IS miles southeast Of Heng-
yang.
In a fighter sweep the same day
Chennault' pilots bombed a rail
road bridge and tunnel at Using
sing 3 miles west OF the Shichia
chuang rail junction which is Is
miles south of Peiping. The east
end of the tunnel was blocked and
the bridge approaches were dam
aged, the U. S. communicate said,
adding that other fighters bombed
