U-Boat Ring Broken Up.
IN one instance. Capt. Zacharias
said, the censorship enabled mill
tary authorities to break up a ring
OF persons who had been refuelinr
German submarines of the Atlantic
Coast.
The captain declared that SUBJ
marine operations of the coast
then subsidized, though he could not
say whether this was the result OF
the breaking-up of the ring.
He cited the incident as justifica-
ton for the censorship of commu-
nlcations between the United States
and its outlying territories.
He said the Office of Censorship,
headed by Byron Price, obtained
information which enabled the Army
and Navy to identify certain persons
engaged In refuelling subs. In
vestigating messages which passed
between these persons, he added,
the authorities were able to SPOT
six times the number originally
identlf1ed and some of them were
located and arrested.
Pearl Harbor Facts In Letter,
Mr.. Hoover told of some inter-
cepted letters. one complete, de-
tailed description of the entire Pearl
Harbor disaster" that might have
been disastrous If it had fallen into
the hands of the enemy" because it
might have prompted the Japanese
to follow up their sneak attack when
that Hawaiian base was ill-equipped
to defend itself.
Gen. Kroner said 1t was vitality es-
sential that all communications go
ing out of the United States or COM
ing in be censored, particularly where
a combat zone is involved. He con-
tended that Alaska is combat zone,
the Japanese having invaded" the
Aleutlan Islands, where information
can be relayed to them by radio or
boats.
Mr.. Biddle and Mr.. Hoover told
OF information on planes and troop
conveys sent to Alaska, anti-aircraft
defenses and other military infor-
nation that had been intercepted
and which, they said, might have
reached enemy hands.
Much of the information was "the
work Of indirect persons who per-
haps wanted TO show the folks back
home how much they knew" Mr..
Biddle said. but sometimes military
secrets got into circulation that way.
Request for Secret Ink.
More sinister interceptions were
reported by Mr.. Hoover as having
been referred to his Office for inves-
