Sub Menace Waning
Along Eastern Coast,
Naval Officers Say
But u. S. Must 'Tuke Ii
On Chin Until Vessel,
Plane Output Goes Up
Ry the Associated Press.

4y the Associated Press.
Naval officers of the Eastern sea
frontier, wreck Uttered stretch of
1900 miles extending from Canada
to Jacksonville, Fla, said yesterday
that the submarine menace in this
district was steadily decreasing and
that steps were being taken that
would insure more gasoline for the
drying New England States.
This information came as Rear
Admiral James L. Kaufman, COM
mander Of the Gulf sea frontier,
promised more protection for YES
sells plying between Jacksonville and
the Mexican border.
Admiral Kaufman, recently trans
ferred to Miami from Iceland, said
I'VE must consider this area as a
battlefield until every enemy sub
marine which enters it is destroyed"
20 Ships Lost in Week.
Meanwhile, three more ship losses
In the Atlantic-one Dutch, one
Norwegian and one British-were
reported, bringing the total to 20
this week and the total officially
announced Atlantic attacks to 247
since Pearl Harbor.
Naval authorities said these losses
were severe and that the next four
or five months would be "a critical
period"
In New York, naval officials said
that less than l per cent of $500
ships leaving an Eastern port be-
tween December and May 81 had
been destroyed. They said that anti
submarine activity by planes and
ships had driven U-boats south
ward to the Gulf and the Carib-
bean.
They emphasized that American
naval and air forces are still made
quate to cope with the problem
completely and that it was up to
Americas humming shipyards and
factories to produce the necessary
veSsels-and planes.
We've got to take it on the nose
and on the chin until production
catches up with the needs" a
spokesman said.
Defensive steps are being taken
to insure oil tanker deliveries along
the coast. A fair" improvement
already has been made.
Another cheering statement from
the Eastern frontier was that more
than 80 per cent of the crews of
the ships torpedoed in the Atlantic
had been rescued.
Subs Fast and Deadly.
Declaring that the German sub
marine Of today combines the char
acteristics of destroyer and q
submarine" because of its speed and
guns, an officer said the problem
was much more critical than the
last war.
They are using subs with a sur
face speed Of 20 to % knots and
they carry II to 16 torpedoes," he
said.
Frontier officials reiterated their
request for more radio marine tele-
phones. They said many small pri-
vately-owned ships had been re-
jected by the Navy because of the
lack of radio equipment and gen.
eraI unseaworthiness.
Chairman Ellender of a Naval
Affairs Subcommittee said here
Thursday that "if we are not en-
tirely satisfied that everything pos
sible is being done to halt these
sinkings, we are going into the
whole matter in public"

give special attention to women
walking in the street alone at night
following an attempted attack last
night on a 21-year-old Providence
Hospital nurse.
The nurse was on her way home
from the hospital when a stocky,
youthful colored man grabbed her
from behind and tried to drag her
into an alley in the 500 block OF
Third street Sc.
BY scratching and biting, the girl
was able to ward of the attacker
until her screams attracted two men
passing by in an automobile. The
men jumped out and chased the
colored man for a distance but lost
him. The attacker was wearing q
dark green overcoat and gray hat.
He was about 20 years old and 5 feet
7 inches tall.
The nurse was taken back to the
hospital, where she was treated for
bruises to the mouth and shock.

Chinese Boys Helping

Volunteers Odd-Lookinq
Fighters, Dressed in
Variety Of Clothing

Associated Press War Correspondent
SINGAPORE, Feb. 8 Delayed
Approximately 1000 Chinese youths
and men who volunteered to fight In
defense of Singapore got their bap-
tism Of fire today and they took 1t
like seasoned veterans.
Five companies Of these 'volun-
teers, many Of whom had never even
shouldered a gun until a week ago,
were in the lines on the northern
part of Singapore Island when Japa-
neSe artillery on the other side OF
Johore Strait began a heavy bonn
bardment this morning.
The shelling appeared to have lit
tie effect on their nerves. Some OF
the Chinese, stationed in reserve
areas, actually slept through the din.
The volunteers, recruited here
from the ranks of laborers, tailors,
shopkeepers and students, have been
nicknamed the "Dalforce" after their
commander, Col. John Daley.
Broad Grins for Chief.
Before visiting the positions they
are holding at the front inspected
a training depot in Singapore City,
where several hundred additional
Chinese are receiving military in
struction.
AS Col. Dalley's automobile drew
UP, several sentries garbed in an
odd assortment Of clothes came to
attention in highly individualized
manner. One saluted with his right
hand, one with his left and several
called hello" but all had broad
grins for their chief, who won great
popularity during his 81 years OF
service as a police officer in Malaga.
The inclosed courtyard, where a
group was undergoing unorthodox
but highly enthusiastic training,
looked more like a circus lot than q
parade ground.
In one corner newcomers were
learning to count of. In another
corner a group was being loudly
harangued by a political leader and
a platoon was marching around the
square trying to keep step to .
footing whistle.
Unusual Picture.
The "Dalforce" armory presented
a picture to delight the sportsman
and to give an ordnance expert the
shudders. Stacked around the ware
house were Swiss target rifles, dou-
e-barreled shotguns, sawed-of
riot guns, axes, knives. swords and
improvised weapons Of every de-
scription.
Behind the noise and cheerful
commotion in the depot, however.
there was evident a serious purpose

Soon after the conquest of Poland
he transferred his legions Of laborers
to the east and began to lay the
roads and build the defenses which
Hitler demanded there.
Joined Hitler Early.
Although the German press spoke
OF an "Eastwall," informed sources
said 1t was unlikely that Gen. Todt
did anything more than improve the
roads and communications and build
the minimum defenses which Hitler
needed on the Russian frontier for
the historic settlement with Boil
shevism."
Gen. Todt joined Hitler in the
early days Of the Nazi movement
