Committee plans unification continued from Page i increased air curbs a boat might menace Washington for almost the first time since the Start of the War Allied leaders last week saw a hopeful break in the a boat pall that has Hung Over Allied shipping in the Battle of the Atlantic. Cautiously they noted the possibility that from Here on out the nazi submarine menace would be progressively curbed in til finally the threat would be dissipated. While no Concrete figures were available As yet on the Allied shipping losses for May it was generally agreed that the total would not exceed the april figure which itself had fallen below the total March sinking. In fact the Odds were 50-50 it would be even less. Land based bombers the acceleration of the air Battle against the a boat definitely had the nazi sea packs on the defensive. London reported that nazi submarine commander Admiral Doenitz had issued orders to his men to stay on the surface and Quot shoot it out with attacking planes rather than submerge and be blasted by depth bombs. Much of the effectiveness of the air attack was due to the increased the american Navy a anti submarine weapons. A tiny aircraft without wings the helicopter can take off and land vertically both on land and at sea and can be held stationary a few feet in the air. Further brightening the Outlook was a Navy department announcement that half the fighting ships built during May were the new Type destroyer escorts known As a sub killers a a especially adapted for submarine free for alls. Six of these vessels were launched last week. By next year the a a sub killers a will be the largest single class of warships in the Navy. Building beats sinking there Wasny to any doubt however that since january Allied shipbuilding has outstripped the a boat menace. The Navy department has set the 1943 goal at 19 million tons of new ships and has dared Hitler to equal that record in sinking. Perhaps no greater proof of the decline in a boat Power can be shown than by the North african Campaign where Convoy losses since the first of the year from North Africa.

Dwight d. Eisenhower. Hates the Boche the late Admiral Jean Darlan appointed Giraud commander in chief of French forces in North Africa after Quot Token resistance to Allied forces had ended. When Darlan was assassinated the Day before Christmas the Burden of handling French politics fell to the 64-year-old warhorse. Giraud with soldierly resoluteness plunged into the task. Greatest Aid was the spotless Ness of his hate for the Boche for that is what he always Calls the German foe. He especially had a score to Settle with Rommel for it was the desert Fox who captured him when the germans overran France. Giraud was said to have been bitterly disappointed Over Rommel a escape from Tunisia. In addition to his position on the executive committee Giraud is still commander in chief of the French army of some 300,000 men in North Africa. One of the reported disagreements Between Giraud and de Gaulle which caused negotiations to break Down for a Short time last wednesday was whether a committee member should also be entitled to hold a military command. De Gaulle also is a Soldier and not a politician.

Meanwhile it was revealed that America had sent 38,000,000 dollars Worth of essential civilian supplies to War Ridden sectors of Tunisia. The payment was equally prompt.
