Ship Losses Increased
During March, Says Knox
WASHINGTON, April 7 fPi
Secretary Knox said today allied
ship losses in the Atlantic were
considerably worse in March
than in February, due to intensi
fied operations of German sub
marines. February was one of the best
months of the war to date, and
Knox's comment was not regard
ed as Indicating a new peak in
sinkings had been reached, but
simply that tho battle of the At
lantic had taken a turn for the
worse,
Asked whether the navy Is
holding back good news about
the war In the Pacific, Knox said
that was "somebody's pipe
dream." Questioned specifically
about developments In tho North
Pacifiche said the situation was
"about Iri' status quo."
Offensive Soon
A reporter suggested that tho
much heavier bombing offensive
against the Japanese baso on
Kiska Island beginning in March
seemed to indicate that our posi
tions In the Andrcanof island
had been extended or advanced
toward Kiska. Asked whether
that was true, Knox replied:
"That we aren't telling any
body." Ho said the Japanese on

The secretary gave no estimate

Motive Power Big Problem
In Making "Flying Wings"
By JOHN FERRI3
NEW, YORK, April 7 UP)
Giant "flying wing" airplanes,
shuttling between world capi
tals in hours, where days arc
needed now, were visualized to
day by Glenn D. Angle, con
sulting engineer and editor of
"Acrosphcre," the international
aviation yearbook.
Tho chief problem In making
this global air servico a post
war reality, as Angle sees it,
is the development of the neces
sary motive power for tho big
planes.
Along with other aviation
authorities, Anglo foresees air
craft carrying 150 lo 250 pas
sengers, as well as mail and
perishable freight.
His projected time-table from
New York would put London
ten hours away; Moscow, 14;
Cairo, 16, and Rio do Janeiro
only 15; while San Francisco
would be only 20 hours from
Chungking and Sydney; 21 from
Manila and 24 from Calcutta.
The army air transport and
the commercial lines already
have laid the groundwork for
global flying on a large scale.
Airports have sprung up in
jungles, forests, plains, in Arctic
regions and the tropics, an'd the
international oir is filled with
talk of future control of flying.
"There is no reason why U.
S. engineers can't eventually de
micED" t fIS?rti nl fxiz . -2J ;
sign a 5000 horsepower airplane
engine, Anglo said. ;
"However, I think that the j
5000 horsepower engine will not
come in one jump. I expect we
will raise tho horsepower gradu-:
ally so as to ullow for the neces
sary research, and operating ex
perience. "From tho structural, eco
nomical and manufacturing
standpoints, it is better to have
fewer, larger engines, than
many smaller types. Acro
dynamically, It Is more advan
tageous to Install four large
engines than six of considerably
lower horsepower; and the air
craft manufacturers arc already
thinking about where to get
them,"
Victory Gardeners
Can Buy Potatoes
In Small Lots
WASHINGTON, April 7 (Pi
Victory gardeners won't have to
buy seed potatoes in 50-pound

To aid persons with small gar

tablished to curb sales of seed
potatoes for human consumption
in order to escape price ceilings.
Purchases for planting pur
poses now may be made in any
quantity.
