Soviets blame Japanese sub for sinking Angarstroi
Moscow announced that the 4,761 ton Soviet merchant ship Angarstroi was sunk by a Japanese submarine off the Japanese coast on May 1, contradicting Tokyo's claim that a United States submarine caused the loss. Russian survivors reported Japanese subs surfaced and protected sailors, with the vessel previously halted by Japanese warships before inspection. The charge adds tension as Japan and the Soviet Union, though allies in World War II, face a fragile bilateral dynamic.

Law Against Battleships Is Advocated By Clark And Byrd
Senate debate centered on an $8.5 billion expansion to build up to 1,045,000 tons of capital ships while urging a shift toward aircraft carriers. Senator Clark proposed banning new battleships except those already under contract, favoring rapid carrier production amid fears of long range airpower surpassing battleships. Senator Byrd urged converting ships under construction into carriers and expanding air and destroyer production to combat Axis submarines. Senator Tydings floated rewards for tips on bases supplying enemy submarines.

Shortened vacation amid mine dispute heats up wartime policy
The July fourth extended holiday affects northern fields and parts of Tennessee and Kentucky after operators paid fines for sympathy walkouts during last November’s captive mine strike. Each miner gets a $20 token vacation. Southern producers urge $350,000 fines be donated to war service groups, but UMWA President John L. Lewis opposes, saying funds belonged to individual workers illicitly taken from pay. District 17 leaders note crews remain paid and on duty, while questions rise about coal production and wartime needs.
