Probably just delivering supplies to the Gibraltar garrison. Idle speculation can start harmful rumors. MYOB. Loose lips sink ships.
And I’m sure the ships at Gibraltar have nothing to do with Eisenhower being recalled to Washington for consultation. We’re not supposed to talk about that stuff anyway.
Probably just a break for Eisenhower and the ships are yet another convoy for Malta....
The fact that FDR chided the Times for reporting on the movements of Eisenhower, and then the Times reported on being chided about it, should send out some red flags here. But it is nice to see that the Times is concerned about what they report as affecting the national security of the United States and the lives of our boys in the Armed Forces.
Today they just don’t give a damn so long as it moves the cause “forward,” comrade.
