British Claim Rescue
OF 1,276 Men From
Sunken Axis Subs
Figure Is Cited to Show
'Heovy ToI|' on U-Boots;
Many Have No Survivors
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. Nov. 4-The Admiralty
announced today that total of L.
276 officers and men had been res
cued from an undisclosed number Of
sunken Axis submarines.
Royal navies, with the assistance
of the coastal command of the r.
A. F.. continue to protect our ship
ping and to levy heavy toll on en-
emy U-boats. For reasons well ap-
preciated, particularly by the enemy,
our successes against the U-boats
are rarely published.
1T is possible to announce, how
ever, that a total of 1875 officers
and men have been rescued from
sunken enemy U-boats and are held
prisoners of war. OF these, 467 are
Italians.
THE relationship between the
magniture of the enemy claims and
his own lack of success was illus
trated last week when the German
high command claimed to have sunk
IA ships totaling 4700O tons from a
convoy hOmeward DOund from
Gibraltar. In fact four ships total
ing 8,772 tons were sunk. This was
only achieved by the enemy at a
cost to himself.
Recently. too, one of the largest
conveys ever to cross the Atlantic
arrived safely without loss
From the figuffs given. it is diff
flcult to estima3 how many SUBJ
marines may have been sunk. The
complement of the usual smal1-type
German and italian submarines
runs from 80 to so men. The num-
ber Of survivors from a single vessel,
however. might range from one up.
In addition there are the submarines
sunk without survivors; high pro-
portion of those lost are in this
category.

By the Associated Press.


The Defense Mediation Board
ended testimony in the captive coal
mine dispute today and Chairman

sions of the board. preliminary to a

He told a press conference that
the United Mine Workers repre-
sentatives. headed by President
John L. Lewis, and representatives
of the steel companies owning the
captive mines, discussed the wage
protective clause of the Appal-
achian coal contract and its rela-
ton to the present controversy, and
then, about noon, resumed discus
sion of the fundamental issues
The dispute centers around the
unions demand for a union shop
covering some $1,000 miners.
Asked If the positions OF the, dis
putants had changed with regard
to this issue, Mr.. Davis replied:
Not a Bit
He said there was some discus
sion this afternoon of political con-
tributions of the United Mine
Workers to the Democratic party in
1886" and that, briefly. this point
had opened discussion of Mr.. Lewis
political views"
Mr.. Lewis declared. however. Mr.
Davis said, that the contributions
were not made by him but were au-
thorized by the U. M. w. in conven-
ton.
Asked what contributions had to
do with the issues in the coal dis
pute, Mr.. Davis replied:
Nothing whatever"

sinking of an American warship in

From the terrific force of the
