‘ITAWA, Sept. H — (OP) — Bctum of enemy submarines tc the North Atlantic sealanes, fit- ted with heav antLaircraft arma- ment, was of icially confirmed tc- day when R.O.A.F. Headquarters released the story of six separa attacks by Canadian-based, long- range aircraft against a submarine wolf-pack which chose to stay on the surface and fight a. two-day running battle.

When the Germans pulled their U-boats from the sea early in fie formed circles was that cruising aircraft had made things too hot for them and that they would be back, fitted out to fight off planes carrying loads of depth charges.

Theory Confirmed

That theory was confirmed by port, written at an R.C.A.i". station by F0.
