 Three hundred national guardsmen were sent here today to preserve order and more are en route
 The metal workers union held mass meeting this afternoon to discuss the sit uation and although the more radical ones advised drastic action, conservatism prevailed, and leaders advised the mer to keep their mouths shut"

Sullivan said the metal workers had been warned that Little would be the first victim. He added that every precaution had been taken and that i've had the marked men change rooms every so often"

The admiral stated the belief that the U-boats had know ledge of the coming of the troop ships and were on watch for them.
 SECOND GROUP ATTACKED The second group of transports also was attacked by two submarines, one of which apparently was sent to the pot tom by bomb dropped from an Amer ican destroyer. There is disagreement among officers of the third group as to whether they were attacked, but much evidence is presented to indicate that they also were assailed
