Baltimore. Nd, july Inquiries
concerning the possibility of a German
submarine hiding in the Chesapeake
bay brough significant negative mods
from customs officials here today. A
straight jacket was suggested in con-
nection with the name of the inquirer
The announcement in New York that
money would be forwarded to Ger
many on a U-boat now at this port
occasioned some surprise, but there is
reluctance on the part of local Ger
mans to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity.
In some circles the offer is regard
ed in an unpleasant light, and an in
vestigation by federal authorizes may
be recommended by a hyphenated or
ganization with headquarters here.
