H.)—“but.only for a minute.” “I just went to cheer up Senator Bridges,” he explained. Bridges said in Concord, N. H,, that he had known Monroe “on a largely social basis” for more than a year. He said he had been at Monroe's house for dinner several times and that persons attending included congresmen, government officials, foreign dignitaries, army and navy officers, and representatives of the press.

Morgenthau Jr. even denied reports that he had once lived in the house, before Morgan’s advent. Maj. Gen. Levin Campbell, chief of army ordnance, announced that he had been a guest at the R st. house. He said he went to meet Archduke Otto of Austria.

Sinkings Decline

Discussing the attainment of peak ship and plane production, Knox warned reporters not to assume that this increased rate would continue. He said much depended on these two factors: 1. Labor, in which there is now a shortage which may become acute. 2. Critical materials, in. which some shortages may develop. All in all, Knox indicated, April was a good month from several angles. The rate of ship sinkings was low as compared to March. | “Just how long .it will. continue, I don’t know,” Knox said. “This thing goes by fits and starts. In| May, it may go up. The only thing | that may be inferred from what I have said is that things were | better in April.” | Not only did plane deliveries set | new record in April, he said, but |
