Transports to Be Guarded
Till All U-Boots Give Up

Every German submarine must be
accounted for before it will be con-
sidered safe to return troop-laden
transports from Europe to the
United States without combat escort,
it was indicated by naval observers
here last night.
Because these escort combat ships
are needed vitally in the Pacific to
step up the war against Japan,
there is hope that German sub
commanders will hasten to comply
with the terms of the surrender.
But until all have come in, or have
been accounted for, the Navy cannot
afford to allow any returning troop
ship to sail uneScorted.
Although definite instructions
have been issued for the sub COM
manders on procedure for surrend-
ering, there are many angles which
will delay the assurance that the
Atlantic sea lanes are safe, it was
asserted There is the possibility
that some of the U-boat command
ers have not yet received sur
render orders.
Naval officials also are mindful
of the possibility that there may
be some of the fanatical, die hard
class among the sub shippers who
do not intend to give up without
causing as much damage as possible
1t also was indicated that some OF
the U-boat commanders may har-
Dor the belief that they will be
included on the war criminal list.

suicidal gesture.
