Killer of 3 Sought

windsor, Ont, Aug. 2l-(UP)- Police believed today that one killer might be responsible for the vicious murders of three Windsor men in the last 10 days as they studied a crudely scrawied note which might be the work of a prankster or the killer.
 The note predicted the next vic- tim would be a girl and Detroit police were called into the mystery when the note was found on the wall of the Windsor entrance of the International Tunnel.
 "I1l strike again. Next time-a girl. Slasher Evans" the note said.
 Authorities considered the possi- bility that the note might have been the work of an unbalanced terrorist.

Controls on Newsprint
To Stay Indefinitely
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator OMahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming has been advised by
Chairman j. A. Krug that the War
Production Board does not contem-
plate lifting controls soon on news
print.
Forest products of all kinds, in
cludlng pulp for paper, are still in
very short supply, Mr.. Krug tells
me, and there will be no disposition
to change the controls until the sit
uation clears materially" Senator
OMahoney said i
ct would appear, however. that
newspaper owners may have crit
ical problem before the end of the
year. There is likely to be a slight
ly increased supply of newsprint
during the third and fourth quar-
ters of the year, 7 am told, but there
is said to be a disposition upon the
part of some of the large metropoli-
tan papers to seek the increase for
themselves.
The Wyoming Senator expressed
belief that if controls should be lift
ed on newsprint, both with respect
to rationing and to price, before the
international situation has been
clearly settled, "a price structure
might suddenly develop which would
make it very disadvantageous for the
publishers of small newspapers.

Subs Hit 1873 Ships
In GuIf-to-Hatteras
Battle Early in War
By the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, June Part of the story
of how a nation unprepared for de-
fense soon turned the tide of battle
against German submarines in the
Gulf of Mexico and in the Atlantic
off Cape Hatteras was revealed to-
day.
Before it was over, Nazi subs at
tackled Ill ships in the Gulf and
along the Florida coast. Casualties
totaled 1888. The Gulf Sea Frontier
forces were credited with only two
probable sub sinkings and two more
subs seriously damaged.
The 177-day battle of the North
Carolina coast cost the United Ma
tions q ships-a gross tonnage of
109, ,785 tons-and hundreds of lives.
The number of U-boats bagged
hasn't been disclosed.
Began in January.
Some details were revealed by Of
f1cial announcements here and at
Elizabeth City, N. c.
The Battle of Hatteras-a small
part of the battle of the Atlantic
began late in January, only 43
nights after Pearl Harbor. The
City of Atlanta, former Savannah
Line ship, her lights out and her
radio silent, was the first to go to
the bottom.
From then on, night after night.
the skies at HatteraS were red with
flames and day after day the hori-
zon was haZy with smoke, but by
midsummer the tide of battle ebbed
eastward.
The German raiders bagged their
biggest prize-the British tanker
Empire Gem. carrying 10000 tons
of gasoline-five days after the At
lanta went down. The craft ex-
ploded in the night with a great
flash visible for so miles and roar
heard along the Carolina coast.
Two Torpedoes Strike.
The Gulf battle opened off the
coast of Florida a little later-Feb-
ruary 10, 1912. Two torpedoes struck
the Pan Massachusetts. Twenty
men were killed, 10 hurt.
The Navy, however, was success
full in stopping sinkings in the Gulf
that year In 1943 there were but
four successful attacks, and nine in
1914 or 1945.
The Gulf Sea Frontier Command
had a woefully small fighting force
at the start.
In the Hatteras battle the situa-
ton was better. At Pope Field, 204
miles away, a good half of the effec-
tive striking strength of the Army
air arm was concentrated. The Air
Forces went into action at once.
Later Army ground forces were de-
ployed along the coastal islands.

formation section of the Intelli-
gence Division of the Office of the
Chief Engineer, was quoted by Stars
and Stripes as saying the existence
of the master plans had been known
since last August.
''We alerted every outfit in the
field to be on the lookout for them, ~
Col Morris said. The Germans
started shifting them around, look
ing for a safe spot: First toward
Berlin, and when that fell, they
made run for the Bavarian re-
doubt
But 7th Army troops nabbeo the
convoy while it was halted by motor
trouble and swarmed over the Ger
mans so fast they had no chance to
destroy the maps"
Maj Gen. Joubert, inspector gen.
eral of the French engineers, esti-
mated that more than 100000 mines
were soWn in France. He said the
maps would greatly simplify the
vast and dangerous task of 1emov-
