Third Of 20 Subs
Sunk in ; Months
Army, Navy Men Destroy
% U-BOats; Knox Says
Undersea War to Revive

WASHINGTON, Sept. Z.
(UP)-The navy revealed to-
day that American warships
and aircraft destroyed 20 of
the more than 90 Axis u
boats announced as sunk during
May, June, and July.
The remainder of the submarines
were sunk by warships and airmen
of other United Nations.
This disclosure was made shortly
after Secretary of Navy Frank Knox
said the recent diminution of sub
marine activities probably was due
to recall of the German raiders to
refit them for new fight it OUT
tactics against Allied air attacks.
Knox predicted resumption of
concentrated assaults on Allied
shipping as soon as the necessary
refitting of additional guns has been
completed.
OF the American share in the bat
tie of the Atlantic during the three
months period, "a U-boats were de-
stroTed by the navy's air and sea
forces, the Navy said. Five were
sunk by army aircraft.
New tactics developed by German
submarines, Knox said, have re-
duced the usefulness of blimps and
may make helicopters, the use of
which is expected, less effective
than heretofore hoped
Now that submarines have begun
to fight it out against aircraft and
blimps, anything that hovers' over
a submarine is endangered, Knox
said.

While the bulk of the British and
Canadian forces drove up the coast
toward the Calabrian bottleneck,
other troops seized DelianoYa, Sino-
poll, and Cosoleto, all of Which are
south and east of Palmi and moved
inland to slash off the end of the
mountainous peninsula.
Allied air forces switched their
offensive far ahead of the invad-
ing troops to lombard five enemy
air fields in the Naples area and
hit at Capua, more than 200 miles
up the coast from the ground
forces. Ten enemy fighters we're de-
stroyed yesterday and seven more
during an enemy raid on Bizerte,
Tunisia.
MOVE SLOWLY
The Eighth army troops moved
slowly because of extensive enemy
demolitions and the rugged ter
rain but the capture of the four
towns gave them a total of 80 small
cities and villages taken since the
invasion started.
The new front line ran from Pal
mi inland to Delianova, thence to
San Stefano, to Reggie Calabria
and southwark to Melito. Objective
of the coastal drive appeared to be
the western side of the 30-mile-
wide bottleneck on the peninsula
between the gulf of Eufemia and
the gulf of Squillace.
Seizure of Delianova, l miles east
of Bagnara, put the advancing
troops in control of the western
end of mountain road across the

With the scheduled early

While the Ell Centre Servicemen's
canteen has we'll served hundreds
of servicemen who visit the city on
week-ends in many circles it is con-
sidered inadequate for the coming
winter months when the number of
visiting soldiers is expected to reach
a new peak.
FEDERAL FUNDS
Some community leaders have ex-
pressed desire to obtain federal
funds with which to expand facili-

revealed that officials of the Office

theatre building at the corner of

to handle the entertainment of SOL

number of visitors will leave many
servicemen un-cared' for under the
