[Milsurplus] "U-Boats DF ships' receivers myth", more.

[Hue Miller]

>From LIFE magazine, May 11, 1942. 
"Barse Miller's Soldiers
California artist paints heroes of U.S. supply lines"

2 paintings: "Welders, bound for Navy yard at 
Pearl Harbor, board Maritime Commission ship.
These men are civilians, working on Civil Service
rolls, and large numbers of them have gone to
Hawaii". Painting of men with suitcases boarding
ship.

Next painting: Men arriving on deck, being patted
down, suitcases being opened. "Contraband is 
taken from the civilian workers. This includes 
weapons, liquor, and electrical equipment. The 
latter such as ELECTRIC SHAVERS [caps mine],
might reveal ship's position when in use". 

As i've said before, the "U-Boats DFing ship's
receivers myth" was more easily grasped in a time
of great fear. Probably not one laffed on reading
this, even those who should have known better.
