by State Director of Agriculture w.

"The refusal of the OPA to per-

Battle Against Subs
philadelphia Record


Among the most fascinating war stories OF the
home front is that account of new weapons being
developed at the Navy Proving Ground at Dahlgren
va
Was it coincidence that on the next day Secre-
tary of the Navy Knox announced that in March
there had been considerable increase in U-boat
snkings in the Atlantic?
There is direct link between the two events
Eventual victory the U-boats may be at the
Dahlgren Proving Ground
This war, like all of modern history, is
being fought between scientists and inventors well
as generals and armies Right now at the Dahlgren
Proving Ground they are working an ant-sub
marine gadget They don't know yet how we'll it will
work, and if they did they'd hardly tell. But in
those and similar experiments in Britain the scien-
tifc battle goes on night and day
Several times during the past year or two, the
Allies seemed the verge of having the U.-boat
menace licked But the Nazs improved their boats
built them with type Diesels which can be run
under water and thus permit longer safer sub
mersion. Then they built smaller boats, fueed by
mother subs and later organized the wolf pack
system.
Now that system according to A. v. Alexander
Britans First Lord of the Admiralty, has been i'm
proved SO that U-boats operate not only in packs
but lin echelons of packs"
This tactic permits broad coverage of convoy
routes. Roughly, here's how it works The sub
marine packs are loosely disposed across the ocean
convoy lane Then, at the time for attack one of
several methods may be pursued
Sometimes there will be feint, to draw off the
escort ships, whereupon the other subs in force
will move in the convoy often from several direc
tons If the escort protection is heavy, there may
be series of attacks Since the defenders cannot
be sure which is the main drive it must attempt
to fight them all off Then, when the escort ships
are busy yet another sub pack be sent through
an unprotected opening.
no, Of tloic
when we get enough fast escort ships But whether
new Nazi submarine tactics will keep pace we can
not know. 1t is all part of for advantage
in weapons. And, far anyway, the Allies have
found secret weapon for an answer
Secretary Knox is uncertain as to the effective
ness of the great air raids Nazi U-boat pens at
Lorient Saint Nazaire and other ports So our prn-
cipal defense is merchant ship building to out
pace the sinkngs, escort vessels to hold down
the rate of loss.
All this, too is part of the main battle
Upon it rests the outcome of the campaign in
Tunisia the plans for the second 'front.' the supply of
our ally Russia and the survival Of Britain herself
That's how important those gadgets at the Nays
Dahlgren Proving Ground may be.
Victory may depend quite as much upon some
understood genius in overalls as upon the Moftgom-
erys, Rommes and others who make the headlines
It's that kind of war-total.
