Tragic U-Boat Trail
Followed in Atlantic
. . , By Leo 8. Disher
With the United States Fleet in the Atlantic, April 8
(Delayed) (U.R) For 10 hours in a navy bomber today I saw
the evidence of submarine war in ships strewn, broken, up-
vuuea una overturned wiuiin sikiutt'
of American shores.
I counted six shattered and part'
ly sunken wrecks In one area, three
grouped so closely I could see them
at one time without turning my
head. The pilot told me that the
carcasses of possibly five more ves
sels were in the vicinity.
We were part of the armed serv
ices' constant criss-crossing couiv
ter-warfare against the Axis sub
marine. Our mission was to "coV'
er" merchant ships and to hunt
out and destroy enemy submarines
operating In our strip of the At'
lantlc. We saw no submarines.
Below us were sights to Inspire
the most unrelenting vigilance.
Rusted hull plates jutted from the
water. The mere tips of bows were
just discernible. There were ves
sels half-sunk, half-floating.-
saw masts and parts of ships never

Only- Masts Above Water
Looking over the side of the thun
dering bomber I saw the slanted
spars of a submarine's victim
standing gauntly out of the sea. I
looked farther up the seaway and
saw the rust-covered tip of a ship's
bottom protruding grotesquely. And
almost immediately my eyes were
caught by what was left of another
vessel, its bow washed by breaking
whltecaps.
Thrice more, during the 10-hour
flight I saw similar sights. I could
make out that one was a tanker
but could not determine the . type
of the others. The pilot said some
we saw had been torpedoed weeks
before but that at least one was
not there when he. had flown over
the spot just 48 hours previously.
Oil Slicks Make Lane
From several of the vessels oil
slicks extended in a narrow lane
over miles of water. There were
other slicks which reached a round
ed end then stopped.
These ships we saw apparently
were being kept afloat by impris
oned air or were grounded on
shoals.
My head ached and my eyes stung
from the long vigil. Though 'the
others maintained watch as they
ate, I was grateful for the respite

Editors Hear
Address by
Censor Head
New York, April 16 fP) Asserting
that freedom of the press was on
trial through wartime voluntary
censorship, Director of Censorship
Byron Price told the nation's
newspaper editors today that it
would be an unhappy day for "all
of us" if it was found that the
president's confidence in them had
been misplaced,
"I personally do not believe such
ta day will come. Whether It does is
up to you' the former executive
news editor of the Associated Press,
on leave for the wartime post, said
at the 20th annual meeting of the
American Society of Newspaper
editors at the Waldorf-Astoria ho
tel. He said the results of the experi
ment to make voluntary censorship
work would not be determined in
the office of censorship, but "by the
publishers and editors who control
the policies of individual publica
tions." ,
"We are engaged in a desperate
war a war not only for existence
but for that better existence for
which we have yearned during long
years of doubt and apprehension,'
he declared. "No industry and no
Individual can expect to escape the
tribulations and the sacrifices of
such a war. I have faith that you
as editors, and the newspapers you
represent, will not flinch or whim
per on the firing line." ,
Calling for a recognition of "cer
tain basic truths" regarding censor
ship, he outlined three:
1. Editors will never like censor
ship. "Because you are Americans
you resent this sort of interference."
2 Voluntary censorship will never
be an exact science. "It happens
even in normal seasons that one
newspaper will print a story its com
petitors will not."
3 Some of the operations of cen
sorship will always appear non;
sensical to the Individual, particul
arly if he is among the censored.
"In short, censorship is God's gift
to the dyspeptic editor and the
lackadaisical columnist. Whenever
all other inspiration fails, it takes
no effort to attack censorship."
"I know no editor," he commen
ted, "who has deliberately attemp
ted to sabotage the experiment, but
there are some editors who are far
too forgetful of their responsibilities,
xxx There are still too many apolo
gies, after the damage has been
done." '
