military situation it is hoped that
this moment may come in less than
six months in certain areas"
The extent of relief necessary in
the European areas, he explained,
would depend largely on local sup
plies. The United States and Great
Britain, he said, had drawn up a
plan of procurement which would
give generals in the field bank &C
counts" of supplies on which they
can draw, and the extent of their
Withdrawals will depend on the
natural resources they find in areas
they occupy.
Gen. MacReady explained that it
was not possible to reveal details of
these plans, as the data would afford
the enemy an indication of planned
military operations.
The relief program carried out by
the Army in Italy was explained by
Gen. Edgerton, who said it was
complicated because operations
in an area cut off from the central
government in Rome and removed
from the wheat-producing sections
OF North Italy. 1t was further COM
plicated, he added, by a scarcity of
good ports and shortage of ships,
which were needed to carry purely
military supplies. Since the ad-
vance into North Italy, he said, the
task has become easier.
French Problem Simple.
In France, he added, the problem
has been simpler because the in
vasion took place in a rich agricul-
tural area.
Food, medical supplies and soar
were moved into France from Eng
land by air transport at the rate OF
500 tons per day. France and Italy
the general said, presented varying
examples of the relief problem in
Europe generally.
The French people, Gen. Edgerton
said, have co-operated very ef-
fectively" with the Army's civilian
affairs officers and in that way have
not only helped themselves but also
the military commanders. This will
probably result in a shortening OF
the military period of relief.
He agreed with his British COL
league that in planning relief op-
erations "the supremacy of military
requirements" must always be borne
in mind.

The Wilmington morning star., 1944-05-26

This was disclosed today In a
communique listing the latest bag
by American submersibles operat-
ing in the Pacific, and in the first
announcement that rockets, fired
from torpedo bombers have been
used to destroy a German under
sea raider.
Attacking with rocket projec-
tiles developed by the U. S. Navy,
and backing up this new-style on
slaught with older weapons, the
American aircraft apparently de-
stroyed the enemy without dam
age to themselves the Navy re-
ported in telling Of the probable
sinking of ga big German U-boat
in a matter of minutes
The communique telling OF Am
erican submarine successes added
another Japanese destroyer to the
46 Nipponese warships they al
ready had been credited with sink
ing. It, with the IA other vessels
sunk, brought to Al the number OF
Japanese ships reported sent to
the bottom by submarines this
month.
Inclusion Of the destroyer-fifth
warship announced su nix this
month - indicated strongly that
the japanese are trying despe-
rately, but unsuccessfully, to con-
voy merchant craft IN movement
of supplies and men to their gar
risons in the central and southwest
Pacific areas.
In addition to the destroyer, tho
latest bag of the American subma-
rines includes three tankers, sore
ly needed in supplying fuel for the
enemy war machine, three cargo
transports, seven cargo vessels
and small transport. This
brought to 724 the number OF Jap
anese ships sunk, probably sunk
or damaged by U. S. submarines
since the war started. For several
months reports of their activities
have omitted any mention of ships
probably sunk or damaged and it
those categories were included the
