Woods Hole, Mass, June 9-(UP) A NaI submarine pack operating off Greenland sank eight Of nine British merchant vessels after they had dropped their cnovoy May 20 four days before the battle cruiser Hood was sunk by the Bismarck, ac- cording to coast guards who rescued 39 survivors.
 The men were rescued by the cut ter General Greene 240 miles south off Cape Farewell five days after the attack on the convoy. Coast guards said that during the search for survivors they could hear the roar 10 heavy guns, apparently the exchange of gunfire between the Hood and Bismarck.
 The General Greene, which put into st. Johns, Newfoundland, with the survivors of the refrigerated ship Marconi, arrived here yester- day. She had been operating in Arc- tic waters on the annual interna- tional ice patrol and was at St Johns when the cutter Northland radioed that she was searching for survivors of west-bound convoy.
 After her crew had voted to the man to make the rescue dash, the General Greene, her water and food supplies replenished, steamed east ward. Five days later the first boat load of survivors of the Marconi's 80-man crew was sighted 300 miles east of St. Johns on fog-enveloped sea. Nineteen men were lying half submerged in water they had been too weak to bail from their boat.

FREE FRANCE MAY

Outcome in Syria Likely to Dictate U. s. Diplomacy
 Towards France

Washington, June 9-tUP)-Dip- lomatic observers believed today that if the battle of Syria gives any indication of military alliance between France and Germany, the United States may recognize . 'Ffee French" government.
 In such an event informed sources said, the procedure would be to treat the French government headed by Marshal Henri Philippe Petain much as the United States now treats the government III Den. mark-as a captive government thai does not have sovereignty.
 In the case of Denmark. the rec ognized representative Is Henrik De Kaufman, the Danish minister here. The agreement whereby the United States took over the defense of Greenland was made With De Kaufman against the will of his government in Copenhagen.
 The French representative here is Ambassador Gaston Henry Haye former mayor of Versailles, q yet- eran of Verdun, former French senator and a close friend Of Petain But Henry-Haye was sent here by the Vichy government. which has consented to Fyanco-G German col lahoration. and 1t is therefore un- likely that the United States would recognize him as Q Free French representative.
 Instead. 1t would be more likely to recognize Gen. Charles Dc Gaullt
