LONDON, April 17 (U.E The number of U-boats operating against allied shipping is increas-"C increas-"C ing despite the improved defense record of the last six months, in-- formed sources said today. ; However, these same sources saw hopeful signs on the subma-: subma-: rine warfare front, including: 1. Eespite the gravity of ship ; sinkings for March revealed by t Navy Secretary Frank Knox, the ; four preceding months showed a big drop in losses to U-boats. 2. U-boat sinkings and destruc- tion wrought by allied bombers I against sub works and bases greatly reduced the per capita : take by the submarines. 3. The allies steadily increased '- the size of their merchant fleets ' despite losses and many anti-sub-l marine boats are being built to combat U'ac undersea craft. Souces said the allied record against U-boat warfare was bright in the Mediterranean. Despite the severity of allied losses, propor-' propor-' tionately they probably were a fraction of the German and Italian Ital-ian losses in the Mediterranean from raids on supply ships head- ing for North Africa.

"DRAFT DEWEY" MOVE BEGINS ALBANY, April 17 U.E A hint that the mid-west may open a "draft Dewey" movement before the 1944 Republican presidential convention was the interpretation local political observers placed today on remarks by Alf M. Lan-don, Lan-don, GOP presidential candidate in 1936, during his visit with Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. Landon's assertion that party leaders are predicting New York state will be in the Republican camp in 1944 and his comment that "there is widespread interest in the middle west over the way in which Governor Dewey is meeting meet-ing New York state's farm problems," prob-lems," was taken to mean the former for-mer Kansas governor and his followers fol-lowers in the mid-west would sup- port Dewey if he was a candidate" for the 1944 nomination.
