 In discussing the many reports cir culated about the destruction of U-boats since they first appeared in American waters nearly month ago, Assistant Secretary Roosevelt said this situation is merely a reptition on a small scale of the experience of the British ad- miralty.

Roosevelt had before him the quarterly report of the admiralty on sub- marine losses, the items included having only those which were considered of suf- ficient credibility to warrant considera- tion. Taking 100 typical reports, MT. Roosevelt explained that 50 per cent of them had been dismissed by the Brit ish authorities as highly improbable. After careful rechecking 20 per cent of the submarines reported sunk were listed as possibly damaged, while 13 per cent of the total were recorded as known to have been sunk"
