sea attack in the North Atlantic.
Bad weather and low visibility in
those waters will ground N a j
planes or limit the help they can
give German U-boats or surface
raiders in finding British convoy
targets.
Mystery
Just why Berlin picked this sea-
son to launch her air-guided sea
attack is something of a mystery
unless it is primarily designed to
help Italy stave off an expected
British offensive. If that is not
the purpose, the Nazi high COM
mand would appear to have
showed its hand at sea prema-
turely.
Had the attack been started to-
ward the close, not the beginning,
OF winter, a steadily rising toll of
essential British cargo tonnage
would have been indicated. Length
ening daylight hours and spells OF
bland weather, when massed con-
voys would be visible to Nazi air
scouts at great distances, would
have intensified the peril for the
British. 1t might even have pro-
duced as grave a crisis as that OF
April, 1917, when U-boats reached
their peak effectiveness in the
World war.
AS it is, however, winter weather
in the North Atlantic means many
days, sometimes weeks together,
when aircraft cannot operate. At
lantic gales do not seriously ham
per shipping. Merchant and naval
craft will go about their business
in any weather.
Relies on Scouting
1t is assumed that the intensified
German sea attack relies heavily
upon air scouting from German
aviation bases in Norway or south
ern France to spot conveys and
signal their whereabor'. to Turk.
ing submarines or ~urface raiders.
That means, however, tremendous
ly long flights for the Nazi air
scouts. To reach the critical area
off the Irish coast they must travel
up to 1000 miles out and back,
yet arrive at the scene of oper-
ations with fuel to permit addi-
tional hundreds of miles of patrol
cruising.
There has been nothing to indi-
cate the type of aircraft the Ger
mans are using for this highly
specialized duty. 1t is a reason
able guess, however, that they sac
rifice bomb loads for fuel, decreas-
ing their own chances of sinking
cargo craft or attacking British
naval escorts.

ject to sudden fogs throughout the

niav, announcing that its control
mer machine tool exports would
be expanded shortly and appealing
for a pooling Of existing facil-

HOUSING PROJECT APPROVED

Federal funds for low rental project
for Key West will soon become available.
When completed, there will be 1876 dwell
ling units for white families and "a for
colored families. Each dwelling will have
every modern facility. Each will be avail
able to 220 families in Glow income
brackets" at rentals well. within their
total earnings
Several benefits from this project are
expected:
First, it will enable 22O families now
living in ''sub--standard" dwellings to
move into quarters that will give them
plenty of air and sunlight, Fairgrounds for
their children, clean and sanitary, spic and
span.
Second it will enable property own
ers to tear down a number of unsightly,
delapidated and tumbledown old build
ings in which these families now reside.
Third, it will improve the appear
ance of the city by construction of two
groups of modern buildings in sections
where there are now no buildings, or on
lots now occupied by shacks.
Fourth, it will permit areas now pop
ulated by white and colOred families to be
zoned under a program segregating the
different groups to their own and the COM
munity benefit.
The Citizen believes that the new
zoning ordinance should prohibit the re-
construction of these old shacks in areas
that should be restricted for highclass
residences and apartment buildings
There will be little point in the housing
project aside from the direct benefit to
the 22O families, unless these shacks are
removed from the local scene
The Citizen also believes that the con-
struction of the colored housing project
should signal a movement to keep the
races separated. The mixture of the races
here is becoming a serious problem. 1t
will be better for all concerned for them
to be kept apart The present conditions
carry large freight of dynamite that
would take only a spark of intolerance or
disturbance to explode.
Those CT our public and civic officials
who labored so hard for so many weary
months to procure the assistance of the U.
S. Housing Authority in financing this fine
housing project should be rewarded by
community action looking toward better
zoning regulations and living conditions
