Continued from Yesterday
In addition to that force, the
comman6er of the Gulf Sea From
tier had on call the ships from
the Fleet Sound School at Key
West and such other air craft as
might be located in the area for
training purposes. But these ION
CALI forces could only be used
when there was a positive emer-
gency and were not available for
routine patrol work. -.
Even when an emergency did
arise the training ships were
many times at sea with green
crews. The vessels would have to
run back to port, put off the
traineeS and take aboard an ex-
perienced crew, mostly instruc-
tors, and then proceed to the
scene of action. All that required
time when time was precious.
The war moved in fast in the
Gulf Sea Frontier in February
with one torpedoing on the 18th,
and three on the 22nd.
Two hours after the last attack
a dive bomber sighted a sub in
the vicinity and attacked it on
the surface. No credit for sinking
the sub was given but no more
trouble was experienced in the
area for a long time.
Vigilance was maintained, how
ever, and the necessity for, con-
tinued guarding at that spot was
borne out year and half later
when the log of Nazi sub sunk
off Brazil was recovered. That
log showed that the sub had been
in the vicinity off Cape Canavef-
al but that it had made only one
attack, indicating that a sister
ship also was on the job.
Anti-submarine warfare in the
lGulf Sea Frontier comprises two
objectives:
/. Primary mission of the
frontier was to prevent attack,
control shipping within the zone
and to protect it from attack
while in the confines of the from
tier.
2. Secondary objective, but of
course closely tied up to the prim-
airy aim, was to sink subs.
Efficiency of sea frontier
operation is not measured by the
number of positive submarine
kills made. Rather it is measured
by the success with which ship
ping gets through the zone.
Credit for sinking a submarine
is hard to get. The board that
evaluates the success of missions
is tough.
You Just about have to get
to sub commanders right ear to
get credit for KILL" one officer
stated. Positive evidence is re-
quired. Just an oil slick won't
do. One sub probably sunk off

was not credited as positive.
Constant observation and
watching gave the operations
officers some insight and under
standing of the Nazis' plans. The
subs apparently travelled in pairs
They were believed to be able te
stay away from their base six OF
seven weeks.
Two weeks would be consumed
in the voyage to the hunting
grounds" and two weeks in re-
turning, which left the sub two
or three weeks to prey on ship
ping in the heavy traffic lanes off
Florida and in the Gulf.
The subs normally would ap-
proach these shores just off Mat
anilla shoal and make a landfall
, off the East Florida coast at Jupi-
ter, St. Lueie or Bethel Shoals.
Then they would submerge, wait
for night, and roam the sea lanes
for merchant ships passing in the
moonlight or against the lights of
the shore.
One example of sub plotting
by the Gulf Sea Frontier shows
how the United States planned
counter blows. With the reports
sot lsightingS al sub was plotted
fand comb the area at that hour
Planes were ordered to take off
coming across. The position of the
craft southeast of Bermuda was
obtained and by figuring her
speed and course the operations
room was practically certain that
the sub would be at designated
point at 8 a. m. the following day.
The accuracy of the calculation
was proved when a plane sighted
the sub at $40 only five miles
from the spot where the craft
was predicted to be at 8 a. m.
In the early days there were
cases of estimates that submar-
ines were in certain areas but
! there was no equipment with
(which to attack.
Gulf Sea Frontier officers es-
innate that they battled about "a
different U-boats during the war.
Perhaps there were more.
They believe that in January,
February and March of 1912 there
were two subs month sent over.
The first pair probably were
merely reconnaissance ships sent
here to report on the prospects
of making kill.
The first attack was made on
February 10. From then on until
September of that year the stu
alton grew steadily worse. At
lacking forces were believed to
have grown. At least nine and
perhaps Is subs roamed the Gulf
Sea Frontier in May as compared
to an estimated half dozen the
previous month. June and July
probably brought four each to
the area, and a pair in August
and another pair in September

FBl Report Expected
Today on Saw Blade
In Corens Case

The Federal Bureau Of Investiga-
ton was expected to make a labora-
tory report today on an andiron
and hack-saw blade turned over to
it by Montgomery County author
tiles in connection with the murder
of Mrs. Pearl Corens, 31-year-old
Army Signal Corps worker.
The andiron and blade, it was I'M
derstood, were examined for blood
stains. The laboratory report was
to be turned over to States Attorney
Joseph B. Simpson, jr.
Meanwhile, Harold C. Smith,
Rockville attorney, announced he
had been retained to represent
Henry H. Corens, 44-year-old Be-
thesda automobile painter charged
with the murder of his wife. He
would not say who had retained
him.
Dr. Richard M. Rosenberg, Dis
trict deputy coroner, was called into
the case yesterday as the State con-
tinued its efforts to pile up evidence
against the accused Corens.
DR.. Rosenberg yesterday made a
detailed examination of Corens'
clothing and body at the Rockville
Jail.
All the material he gathered will
be subjected to exhaustive mi
croscopic tests by DR.. Rosenberg,
who has figured prominently in the
solution of Washington murders.
Montgomery County has no facil-
tiles for such tests.
Earlier in the day, Corens' par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Hubert Corens,
$500 Fourteenth street NV, visited
the accused man and may have
called Mr.. Smith into the case.
Meanwhile, county officials re-
vealed that the Corens' home at
4515 Gladwyne drive, Bethesda, was
broken into some time Thursday
night. Nothing of value was taken,
however.
Corens, who has been employed

records showed that a Henry H,
Corens previously had been married
to Gertrude Van Dam on January

and that of Miss Van Dam as 10.
The records failed to show any evil
dence of divorce here
Mrs. Coren's head was found
Tuesday near little-used road in
Fairfax County, Va. No trace of
the torso has been found, although
police in both Fairfax and Mont

their search. Efforts to drag the

have to be postponed until the
present high level of the water has
receded, it was said.
