closed late yesterday. Loss of two
additional American surface ships, a

some OF the Navy's tight restrictions
on the discussion of submarine ac-
tiVities.
The vessels lost in the Okinawa

Ism (R) 1874, sunk with 81 casual
ties, including dead, injured and

Jap ships sunk by our submarines
now total 1,142, including l,00t
merchantmen, the Navy said.

"has reached stage where we car
now relax some, but not all, of the
security restrictions that have veiled
the deeds of men in the silent arm
of the Navy, the submarine service. -
The Secretary said the submarine
forces mounted Americas first Of
