VOSBURGH City Editor, The Key West Citizen For 44 minutes this morning, President. Truman was far below the surface of the Gulf Stream off Key West aboard a captured German submarine. The Nazi ship, guided by an American captain jand crew which drew high praise from their Commander-in-Chief, reached a maximum depth of 440 feet. ‘ The submarine submerged at 9:30 and surfaced at 10:14. A German device which permits the submarine to recharge its bat~- teries under water and remain submerged indefinitely was used. The sea is about 1000 feet deep where the dive was made some seven —-Wmiles out.
