Suspect
Tanker
Aided Sub
BY JOHN r. HENRY

WITH THE ATLANTIC FLEET,
AN EASTERN PORT delayed.
Officers of an American de-
stroyer, recently returned from q
transatlantic task force assign
ment, revealed here today that in
they had encountered a
tanker suspected of aiding u
boats.
Their disclosure added more
fuel to the fire of conjecture
whether enemy submarines en-
ploy surface craft to supply them
during operations along ocean
shipping lanes and off the United
States coast.
Those who saw the tanker said
1t was large enough to refuel two
or three submarines and supply
them with fresh food and water.
When sighted, the tanker was
alone. ~
Although the ship was flying the
American flag. the destroyer de-
manded that she identify herself
The reply came hastily to the
effect that the tanker was
friendly and American.
Although the nature OF their
mission would not permit the of.
ficers to linger and board the
mystery ship, they coniecture6
whether II was possible that the
craft was an enemy in disguise
They kept a close watch on the
vessel until 1t disappeared.
