Knox Answers Disunity Charge
Washington, Feb. 3. — (INS)—Secretary of the Navy Knox emphatically denied before the Senate naval affairs committee today that there is any disunity between commanders of Naval, Air and Army forces in the Southwest Pacific.
"The secretary emphatically denied that there were any differences, disunity of lack of cooperation among the command of the various units, such as air, army and navy," said Walsh.
Knox's denial was disclosed by Sen. Walsh (D) Mass, chairman of the committee, after Knox had given the committee an inside picture of conditions as he found them on his recent trip to the Southwest Pacific fighting area.
Several members of the committee asked Knox to answer rumors and assertions of disunity because of a lack of a supreme command.
"He said he found all units cooperating with enthusiasm and left no doubt in my mind, whatever, but that the fullest and most complete unity of command exists."
Philadelphia, Feb. 3—(INS)—A search was being conducted today for a tube of radium worth $10,000 which had been used at the Cramp shipbuilding yards to X-ray certain types of welds.
Radium Supply Gone From Ship Yards
Frank Hartman, radium "detective" representing the Canadian Radium and Uranium Corporation of New York, reported he failed to locate the metal with a delicate apparatus which detects radium within a radius of 500 yards and expressed the opinion that the valuable metal may have been removed from the yards.
Hartman warned that any person in possession of the radium was endangering his health and possibly his life.
"If a person is near that tube for 12 hours he may develop pernicious anemia," he said. "Hoid it for 10 minutes and a serious burn will result, and if the tube is squeezed, an explosion will result."
House Receives Bill To Probe Newsprint

WAAC's Request Status In Army
Washington, Feb. 3—(INS)—The Senate military affairs committee today voted to recommend favorably to the Senate a bill which would take the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps into the army.
Col. Oveta Culp Hobby, director of the WAACS told the committee that members of the corps wanted regular status as members of the army, rather than as an auxiliary force.
Col. Hobby said membership in the WAACS now totals 31,000, of which 700 are Negroes, and that volunteers in the corps are being accepted at the rate of 4,000 a week.
Passage of the bill would give the WAACS all the benefits now held by men in the regular army.
"We expect to have a total membership of 150,000 by the end of the present year," Mrs. Hobby told the committee.
Washington, Feb. 3 (INS) — Rep. Paul J. Kilday (D) Texas, late today took the House floor to issue a scathing denunciation of plans of the War Manpower Commission to draft married men with children unless they are assigned jobs in essential war industries.
Kilday Decries Plan To Take Married Men
Kilday, in his attack, charged that Congress had turned over too much of its powers to the War Manpower Commission. He alleged that the WMC's threat to take married men threatened the American institution of the family.
Kilday served notice that he would reintroduce a bill to form a national pool of single men which must be exhausted before men with families could be called into service.

New Mexico Splits On Labor Legislation
Santa Fe, N. M., Feb. 3—(INS) The New Mexico state legislature was sharply split today over a proposal for regulation and taxation of the receipts of labor unions.
The bill, introduced yesterday by Sen. A. E. Pettitt and J. H. Nullis, would require registration of all labor unions, fix their dues and levy a school tax upon their gross receipts.
Army Will Require 'Essential' Workers
Washington, Feb. 3. (INS)—War Manpower Commission sources predicted today that it will be necessary to "dip heavily" into the rolls of men employed in "essential" activities to fill the nation's goal of 10,000,000 men in the armed forces this year.
One WMC spokesman said that a 3-B classification—an employee of an "essential" industry, who is not a "necessary man" within the industry—was no guarantee of prolonged deferment from military service, although declining to speculate when such men might be called.
He pointed out that the supply of 1-A regestrants already is virtually exhausted, except for the 100,000 youths who become 18 years of age each month, and that in many states married men with wives only already are being called.
It was explained, however, that before 3-B men are drafted, local boards will reclassify and call men who remain in non-essential jobs, despite the WMC action yesterday in listing some 70 occupations and activities which will be "non essential" even to men with dependents after April 1.

Bill Proposes Labor Control
The first public reading on the bill is scheduled for tonight before the Senate state affairs committee. The House state affairs committee so far has declined to meet with the Senate to consider the measure.
Topeka, (INS)—A controversial anti-labor union bill, originally scheduled to reach the floor of the legislature this week, will not be given floor consideration until next week. Sen. Thale Skovgard, Green-leaf its sponsor, said today.
Before going into the bill, which would give the state strict control over the labor unions, the legislature will knock off for the afternoon to be guests of the staff of the Topeka army air base. The lawmakers will get an opportunity to see just how the army trains its bomber crews.
Women Make Up Labor Force Women will make up 30 per cent of the labor force in war industries this year, officials announce.
