U-BOAT CREWS
REFUSAL TO PUT TO SEA REPORTS FROM NORWAY London, June 27. A considerable number of U-boat officers and other ranks recently arrived at a military prison in Oslo according to a report reaching responsible Norwegians says th£ Stockholm correspondent of the British United Press. They are members of six U-boat crews who refused to put to sea. The naval correspondent of the British United Press says reports have been received at British quarters recently of a lessening of the fighting spirit among U-boat crews. Some of the latest prisoners have been dejected though relieved to be out of the battle of the Atlantic. The bluster and overwhelming confidence of earlier boat crews! which mainly consisted of young Nazis, is disappearing.—P.A.
