Client Guilty,
Brulker Loses

Former governor and attorney
general. WILDER NJ. Brucker. as
signed by Federal Court order to
defend a man accused OF posses
sing and selling marijuana, lost
the case Saturday.
His client, William Goff. %, q
Negro. was found guilty by a jury
of seven women and five men in
Federal Judge Ernest A. O'Brien's
court.
The former governor worked on
the case as though his client was
United States Steel or Standard
Oil. The usual marijuana case is
called, heard. and ended in a few
hours, but Brucker kept II alive
for five days and wound up his
defense with Commute plea that
sounded like Paul Muni playing
Emile lola.
Brucker was assisted by young
attorney, Robert A. Sullivan, also
assigned by the court.

Such a challenge for control OF

at all costs. as il is perfectly OBJ
vious that the protection of this
particular area against Nazi deprc-
dations Is vital 30 the security and

Moreover. II Is only by protection

Wdrship, Plane
Unity Available

As the navy has control of il
own air arm, which, by the way
is the finest, most efficient anc
largest naval flying service in the
world. perfect cooperation can be
depended upon at all times. By
these tactics the number of sub
marine attacks will be greatly re-
duced, because they will make
every attempt very costly.
AS the navy building program
is well ahead of schedule-both ir
ships and planes--more units are
being added TO the Atlantic fleet
from time TO time 10 augment the
forces engaged in this anti-sub-
marine warfare.
Meanwhile. any vessel capable
of cruising at sea--such as yachts
and other light craft-could be
employed 10 great advantage In
this 'all out" war against the
U-boats.
A British admiralty report made
public on Wednesday. stated that
since the beginning OF hostilities.
.276 officers and men tof whom
467 were Itahans) had been cap
iured from enemy submarines that
had. been sunk.
While the number Of submarines
sunk was not revealed, secrecy in
this connection being Britis h
policy, a comparison with figures
given out as OF May treporting
$50 German submarine prisoners)
shows that during the last six
months the number OF captured
personnel has been almost tripled.
A rather interesting deduction
may be made by using the above
figures in connection with data
cleaned from reports OF World
War No. 10 per cent Of the
U-boats sunk had no survivors and
the remaining 80 per cent averaged
Is survivors each.
BY using these same proportions
land excluding the 467 Italian
prisoners, evidently taken in Medi-
terranean encounters) the 80 Ger
man captives would represent 81
lost submarines wit survivors.
This. in turn, accounts for only 80
per cent of the total submarine
losses. alphabetically. therefore,
the total number of submarines
sunk since the beginning OF the
war is 206, or an average Of eight
a month.
AS soon as our merchant ships
are armed Including anti-aircraft
guns), additional escort vessels are
sent out with conveys, and the air
patrol is intensified. then--and not
until then-will be the beginning
of the end of the battle of Iceland.

WASHINGTON. Nov. s. The
battle of Iceland is on in earnest.
To win this battle, the United
States must employ all the sea
power il can muster in the At
lantic - including. Of course. full
cooperation between the fleet and
its air arm.
In this connection, the President
has recently transferred the en-
tire coast guard from the treasury
TO navy jurisdiction, thus making
nHailable an additional large num-
of vessels for reinforcing the
american patrol OF Atlantic ship
lanes.
For more than two months.
now. Germany has been waging an
undeclared submarine warfare
against the United States on the
high seas, both in American pro-
claimed defensive waters" sur
rounding Iceland and in the South
Atlantic--far outside any declared
war zone.
The major operations during this
period. however. have been con-
centrated along the northern route
over which the supply-laden ships
from North America 10 England
have 10 pass. The area 10 the
south and west Of lceland--the
easternmost American defense bas-
tion-has been the main .theater
Of attack.
