KNOX ASKS FO DRAFT OF LABOR

Asserts It Is Vital if We Are To Speed End of ~The War, WASHINGTON, March 2 (U. P).| —Secretary of Navy Frank Knox told congress today that a national service law must be enacted fo prevent a disastrous slump in production after the European phase of the war comes to an end. Testifying before the senate military affairs committee, Knox said that only passage of @ labor draft as requésted by President Roosevelt could stabilize production at levels needed to follow the defeat of Germany with the speedy defeat of Japan. E He praised labor and industry for - “miracles of production” but said that labor turnover, resulting from lack of adequate restrictions on job switching, already was a serious «+ problem that promised to become even more serious. : “In 1044” he said, “we will be fighting mightier battles with heavier losses in every quarter of the world. This means more and more ‘men, more and more equipment, more and more supplies and more and more ships.”

Cites Responsibility

“We cannot even pretend to be supporting our fighting men who are risking their lives at the front 50 long as we tolerate either milling around from job to job or reluctance to -move to the .places needed,” he said. Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson also has approved the national service bill now before the committee but Chairman Robert R. Reynolds (D. N. C.) predicts it will not

Besides bombs the newest Mosquitoes also carry four 20-mm. cannons and four machine guns. The wooden planes are difficult to classify since they can fly as fighters, as bombers or as fighter-bombers with equal facility, using their tremendous speed—the actual figure is still secret—to out match the enemy.
