An artist's sketch of the new technique of skip bombing: planes
zoom toward the target et 200 feet— thus avoiding anti-aircraft the
with bombs hitting the sea while still retaining forward impetus,
skipping from wave to.wave and striking at water level. As dem-
onstrated in the battle of the Bismarck sea. skip bombing is almost
a cinch tor accuracy.

Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox
revealed today that Adminal Ches-
ter W. Nimitz, Commander-in-
Chief of th= Pacific fleet, conferred
with Admiral Ernest J. King:, U. S.
Fleet Commander-in-Chief on the

strategy outlined at the recent
Roosevelt-Churchill conferences.
Knox told press conference that
Niinifst came to the West Vaofiat
fiom the Pacific war theater to
meet with King:, and added that
they have been holding strategy
conferences at, 00 day intervals.
Asked whither there was any
significance in the fact that, the
two Naval commanders were meet-
ing at approximately the same
time that Gen. George C. Mar-
shall, Army Chief of Staff, was
concerting with military leaders
in the European and Afriaan
theaters, he replied that there whs
none.
However, he conceded that the
suggestion King might liava trans-
mitted to Nimitz-' reports of the
Washington between the President
'und the Brinish Prime Minister
"possibly would be one very good
explanation."
Knox said the Pacific fleet's
strength has been expanded and J
that this expansion was contin- j
uitlg.

Yes, a very important part, Jim. That
industry's facilities for producing grain al-

tons of rubber from grain in the government's
