Combatant ships ships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, destroyer escorts and submarines make up the largest part of the navy program, and the step-u- p in their production has been especially sharp. The tonnage of combatant ships completed in the first six months of 1943 is more than 20 times the tonnage completed during the first six months of the defense program. To make this astonishing output more graphic the report states that in July of 1940, the navy received five newly finished vessels, while in June, 1943, the number was almost 1,200 of various classes. An even more remarkable multiplication has taken place in airplanes. From 25 aircraft delivered in June, 1940, the figure leaped to The report 2,000 by June of 1943. states that airplane production for naval use has grown faster than any other branch of the aircraft industry.

"Ail good Americans, he said, interested in the growth of their country and sensitive to its honor should give hearty support to the policies which the Navy league is founded to further." These policies are today an accepted national creed, namely, that an adequate navy is not only a first line of defense, but now that there Is a war the implement for carrying the attack to the enemy. ... two-ocea- Observations: The hungriest street the one on W. 33rd between Fifth and Broadway. 19 restaurants The subway that read: Sumner Welles is coolest man in Washington The old horse market on E. 24th tween Lexington and Second.
