But subs aren't always spotted. II
the water Is choppy, white caps hide
periscopes. So the sub captain takes
his time, aims his torpedo tubes and
fires in the course of the ships he
has picked out. It's hard for the
merchantmen to escape, for he
doesn't have much speed or maneu-
verability.
At night subs are handicapped
The periscope Is useless. II the sub
comes to the surface the escort can
pick him out easily.
The subs have been successful In
this war partly because they've beer
able to pick off merchant ships out
side the convoy zones.
Plane Has Advantage.
With the airplane it's different
Nazi planes can bomb merchantmen
radio position of conveys or single
ships to subs or surface raiders.
Most American naval experts fig
ure the best answer to the convoy
problem, purely from q technical
point OF view, is the air scout at
tached in some way to convoy
escorts. But they aren't talking
about how these air scouts are oper-
ating. or can operate. 1t may be
significant that the Germans are
reported to be hitting fewer targets
In the late spring than they were
last March.
But we won't know the whole story
until the war is over.

Joe Jacobs, screamed foul"
Schmeling also held the distinc-
ton of being the only man ever to
knock out Joe Louis in the pro-
fessional prize ring. He was knocked
out by Louis in return match in
1898.
Those incidents encompass the
fistic career of the 195-pound
Schmeling, who went in for the
dangers of parachuting with the
Nazi armed forces in September,
1910, despite the fact he was over
age and overweight. He was ac-
cepted as an example of German
fortitude and physique and his
training was photographed for news
reels and propaganda.
Schmeling was considered gener-
ally to be cool to the Nazi regime
and little notice was taken in Ger
many of his fight with Louis. On
his arrival from Germany on one
trip here he was asked his opinion
Of Hitler. He shrugged his shoulders
and said: He is politician, am
q fighter"
Whatever his relations with the
Nazi government, he was a hero
in the Reich after defeating Louis
in the first fight.
Later, on returning to the United
States, Schmeling emphatically
denied either he or his wife, Amy
Oudra, the actress, had been in
difficulties with the Nazi authorities

German coastal regions, but said
only one community had suffered

immaterial.
In a British attempt to raid Ger
man-occupied territory and North
west Germany, the communique
said, four British bombers and two
pursuit ships were shot down with
out German losses.
Another British raider was re-

to have made little headway into the

British dearth Of escorts also ex-
plains why the Royal Air Force went

day after day until these big battle
cruisers were reported out Of COM
mission. While they were loose, the
Gneisenau and Scharnhorst were

The British have established con-
voy meeting spots, where merchant
ships wait for escort through waters
close to the British Isles. There sew
eral destroyers usually meet each
convoy. AS the line gets under way,
the destroyers set their speed to
match the slowest ship in the line,
which may be between 6 and knots.
Problem for Sub Commander.
If submarine is sighted, the de-
stroyers order the convoy to scatter,
then start full speed for the sub.
The sub skipper has quite problem.
Should he gamble on getting in posi-
ton and firing his torpedoes, or
should he dive? If he stays near
the surface and shoots, the odds
are better than three to one that he
won't live to shoot again.
The destroyer is too fast for the
sub, usually doing 20 to 80 knots. The
sub can travel no more than IL to

Air-borne reinforcements have

There was no indication here that
the British had made an attempt
to land more troops in an effort to
turn the tide of battle.
Most observers here believed that
should the Germans win the battle
for Crete they would turn their at
tention to the British island of Cy-
prus, approximately 400 miles to the
east. British military sources de-
elined to speculate on this possibility
or to give any hint what plans had
been made for defense of the island.
They asserted, however, that the
Germans had squandered equipment
recklessly In the battle of Crete and
had lost many of 1900 troop-carry-
ing planes they were reported to
have assembled in Greece for their
