ommend to the Federal Security
Agency that some form Of perma-
nent quarters be built to take care
of the thousands of soldiers who, he
said, "swamped" Washington over
the week end.
Mr.. VOTERS statement followed a
check Of existing low-cost lodging
provided for service men.
An F. S. A. official said last week
that If Mr.. Wolter could support his
claim that several thousand men are
unable to get sleeping accommoda-
tions here each Geek end, the F. S. A.
would be glad to certify request for
construction Of barracks to house
them.
Mr.. Wolter was completing his
survey today but was already con-
fident that he would have sufficient
data on which to base a recon-
mendation for additional quarters.
The snow storm Saturday night
underlined the need for more quar-
ters since several of the agencies
where service men are housed felt
they could not turn the men away
despite lack of decent facilities.
The Star two weeks ago disclosed
the acute lack Of housing facilities
for men on leave. Since that time,
the Army has cleared the way for
approximately 500 beds at the Wash
ington Recreation Area in Arling-
ton, near the Arlington Memorial
Bridge.
The tent camp was opened for
the first time over the week end but
attracted only 10 men, due. Col
w. H. Long Of the area believed, to
the extremely bad weather which
made the long walk to the area an
unpleasant prospect.
Makeshifts Run Afoul Of Law.
Local officials, troubled by the hum
dreds of men who cannot be given
shelter under present conditions,
have considered various makeshifts,
but run into trouble with sanitary
and fire laws. They feel that the
only permanent solution to a grow
ing problem is quarters large enough
to take care Of all the men who want
to spend their brief leave in the
Capital.
At Union Station over the week
end. men spread out on the benches.
The Soldiers, Sailors and Marines
Club turned away more than 200
men in uniform. provided beds for
200 and, after the storm reached its
height, allowed the service men to
sleep on the floor with newspapers
for their only covering.
At the Service Mems Club No. 1.
there was similar story-soldiers
packed together on cots to every bit
of available space, service men on
couches and chairs, on tables and on
the floor. The same conditions also
were reported at the Y. NJ c. A.,
which early in the evening exhausted
its regular facilities.

Describes Tragic Moment.
"a tragic moment came" Holman
said, when it was realized some
Commando and special service troops
ashore could not be evacuated"
He added that Col. Newman.
London builder before the war, knew
this but not for one minute did he
hesitate to go ashore and take his
headquarters staff with him"
The scheme of attack on shore
provided that all men do q particu-
lar job and, the correspondent wrote,
"it was inevitable that the nom
arrival of even a few Commando
troops was a serious handicap"
But he said these difficulties were
overcome by "a series of thunderous
explosions still going on when the
last British naval forces withdrew"
He said one of the biggest bangs"
came from blast which destroyed
the dock power house and another
which almost certainly destroyed
the gates of the main basin" as the
Commands Systematically demol-
ished the U-boat nest.
Demolition troops working with
speed which must have amazed
the Germans fixed heavy charges of
explosives to bridge, the dock gates
and important buildings and blew
them sky high in a matter of min
utes,' the correspondent related.
Picked Up by Searchlight.
The Cambeltown's cook gave this
account of his experiences as the
ship headed for the dock gate:
Il shut down the cooking ranges
for the last time and went to my
gun position. We were picked up
by an enemy searchlight and the
fun started
I'VE got about half dozen salvos
in face of terrific fire and then q
shell burst about 2 feet from our
gun. We were finished.
The engine-room crew carried on
until after the Campbeltown had
crashed into the dock gates, and
right up to the end they gave her
steam for 20 knots"
One Commando corporal got only
a slight wound when his rifle was
blown in half as he lay on the de-
stroyer's forward deck
Most of the Commandos came
from the London area. but there
also were Scots and a few Welsh
men.
The Campbeltown was in the first
American f1otilla to reach the United
Kingdom in September, 1910, after

For 18 months the 1,090-ton ves-

Senator'S Probe Navy's
Campaign on U-Boats
of Atlantic Coast
Walsh Moy Ask King to
Tell What Is Being
Done ia Halt Ruids
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Navy'S anti-submarine
campaign in the Atlantic came
under the scrutiny Of Congress
today and Chairman Walsh said
the Senate Naval Affairs Com
mittee probably would call Ad-
miral Ernest ]. King, commander
in chief Of the fleet, for an in
quiry into effectiveness OF coun-
termeasures.
Senator Walsh told reporters the
committee had received many re-
quests to look into the organization
of surface and air patrols which
have been combating the Axis un-
dersea mauraders which have sunk
some 10 merchant vessels since they
invaded coastal and Caribbean wa
tiers after the United States declara-
ton of war.
"I think committee members want
to be satisfied that everything pos
sible is being done to eliminate this
menace" Senator Walsh said. IF
Admiral King can spare the time
from his duties, I would like to have
him come before the committee and
tell us confidentially what is being
done"
Not Intended as Criticism.
Senator Walsh said the commit
tees move to inquire into the coun-
ter-submarine campaign should not
be looked on as presaging criticism
Of Navy efforts thus far.
The committee was only interest
ed, he said, in learning if the patrol
forces were doing their job as eff
GENTLY as possible. He indicated,
however, that if the group found
any reason for complaint on that
score, members would not hesitate
to voice it.
The Army and Navy announced
Jointly last week the coordination
of defense forces on the Atlantic
Coast, the practical effect of which
would be to give the Navy command
over Army patrol planes used in
securing the coastal waters for
lurking submarines.
Previously Gov. j. M. Broughton
OF North Carolina had protested
that there was a lack of co-opera-
ton between the Army. Navy, Coast
Guard and air forces in defending
the seaboard.
Ask About Fuel Source.
Senator Smith, Democrat, of
South Carolina, who said he was
impressed by Gov. Broughton's COM
plant, urged also that Admiral King
appear before the Naval Commit
tee, of which Senator Smith is a
member, and explain the working
of the new setup.
Contending that the shipping
shortage was the most serious threat
to the Nations war effort, Senator
Smith said he was interested in
learning, if possible, where the Axis
submarines were obtaining fuel and
supplies to continue their Western
Hemisphere depredations.
Il don't believe these submarines
are coming over here from Eu-
rope" Senator Smith asserted.
They must be getting oil and sup
plies somewhere in this hemisphere
and we ought to be doing some
thing about that"

He related that most OF the COM
mandos who drove home the au-
dacious attack fought on until they
either were casualties or were taken

the finest aggressive operations OF
the war"

eountered strong opposition as they
systematically wrecked harbor In
stallations. lock gates and power
houses, but overcame 1t with the
utmost determination"

another and more continuous
burst which the Campbeltown an

In a second thte whole river was
covered with a fantastic criss-
cross pattern of fire and the roar
of battle was so loud our gun crews
couldn't hear orders from bridges
of motor launches.
The Campbeltown continued her
way under constant fire from both
sides of the river and motor gun
boat blazed her way past the last
barrier before the entrance to the
drydock.
"The Campbeltown finished her
last journey magnificently by shoot
ing up a German flag ship which
she left in flames before speeding
up to about 20 knots for the charge
into the dock gates.
"She piled herself up on them with
the sureness of a ferret diving into

Soon the roar of big explosions
ashore was heard, indicating the
