Secret codes are used to avoid tipping off the

One CAP. pilot dived his unarmed
plane at the gun crew of a sub about to
shell freighter. The frightened gum
crew fed to the coming tower, and the
U-boat submerged.
Aiming of Patrol planes has frequently
been suggested. But even if attack operations
are disapproved, the Civil Air Patrol viii
still carry out important antisub work. Skilled
private pilots can fly night patrols, reducing
danger to conveys on moonlight nighta
Night-fying pilots can also be assigned to
cover desolate beaches, to prevent U-boat
espionage.
There are many competent pilots, unfit for
combat service, who can perform these duties.
If the present training requirements can be
relaxed, host of additional experienced
pilots would be made available for the patrols.
All of these surface and air patrols will be
equipped before long with the magic new sub
locator device. Mass production Of this appa-
ratus is well underway. Technical details are
confidential, but it can be said that it has
already been used with high success. Because

Y-BoAr espionage! Hitler's dread weapon
has at last been unleashed against
- America. Scores of saboteurs have been
trained in Germany, to be landed here from
submarines. The Nazi destruction squads re-
Gently trapped by vigilant FBI were only
the spearhead. More will come, coldly deter
mined to blast our key factories, railroads and
docks, unless solid wall is built against Axis
subs.
Landing of saboteurs is just one more
reason - and a tremendously important one
why we must beat the U-boat menace that
has cost us more than $50 ships since Pearl
Harbor. We must beat it if we are to protect
our war industries from sabotage - if we are
China and Russia i we are to open a
second front in Europe if we hope to
carry the war to Japan.
The Navy and the Army have no illu-
siOns that we can defeat the U-boats
merely by outbuilding ship losses. Both
grin1ly realize that the undersea raiders
must be sunk before they can sink our
ships. Together they have planned and
are waging an all-out war which aims to
do exactly that.
That war will be fought on many fronts
1t will be fought on the surface of the
sea, and above it, by swiftly increasing
patrols of ships and planes and blimps.
1t will be fought in our shipyards and
factories, where mass production of escort
craft and antisubmarine equipment is being
rushed with all possible speed.
1t will be fought in Europe by direct
attack on U-boat shipyards and bases.
1t will be fought by trained gun crews of
our merchant ships, by hundreds of small-boat
owners who are enlisting with their ships by
former fishermen who are manning mine
sweepers and rescue craft.
Secret ws.po.
AND it will be fought by new magic device
to locate submarines - miraculously accu-
rate and still 50 secret that no hint can be
given of what it is or how it works.
The war on submarines will increase in
intensity, week by week. Already. all sur
face and air patrols Of the Navy, the Coast
Guard and the Army have been combined
under a single command. Serving with them
are many British and Canadian veterans of
U-boat warfare - desuoyers and corvettes
and special antisub vessels.
They soon will be joined by other destroyers
and subchasers which are coming from ship
yards ahead of schedule. But there is still
dangerous shortage along our coasts. To
bridge the emergency, a call has been sent
out to yachtsmen, fishermen and small-boat
owners. The Coast Guard expects that 1000
Evening star., 1942-08-09

privately-owned boats will be added to the
present feet of 1900. Those rugged enough
will be equipped with two-way radio, machine
guns, depth-charge racks and other antisub
devices
Many of these emergency patrol boats will
be assigned to prevent landing of Nazi
saboteurs. Larger craft will be used for
escorting coastal conveys. Scores of fishing
boats will join the Coast Guards rescue force.
Others may be used as mine-sweepers.
The "Irregulars" have already proved their
worth. Not long ago the owner of power
yacht was accepted for patrol duty and
assigned to Florida sector One moonlight
night he saw sub break surface, not far from
desolate beach. He cut sharply across the
bow, dropped depth charge. The periscope
disappeared and an oil slick was seen. Even
if the sub was not sunk, any planned sabo-
teur landing was blocked.
Teamwoxk
HE skipper of another yacht spotted a
sub on his first trip with a convoy. His
armament was not fully installed, so he
hastily signaled warning. When the U-boat
surfaced it was met with fve-inch shell from
the nearest freighter's deck gun, followed by
blast of depth bombs as destroyer raced
in.
With the recent relaxing of physical and
age requirements many fishermen and other
civilian boatmen are enrolling in the fight
against subs. Their knowledge of local beaches
has already proved valuable at points where
saboteurs might be put ashore. On rescue
duty, they have risked U-boat attack to save
survivors of torpedoed vessels.
In the air. patrol bombers have also taken
their toll of U-boats. As their number in
creases, the meshes of the net can be drawn
tighter; fewer subs will slip through.
An increased force of the Navy's baby"
blimps will soon be adding their valuable
help. The blimps can stay aloft longer than
