The situation they say has been rendered acute by the effectiveness of Allied bombing raids on the German transporta tion system. One of the repatriated seamen, ("apt. Henry Stephenson of New Rochelle, N. Y. describes German rail traffic as completely snarled. Oapt. Stephenson spent more than two years in a prison camp near Bremen after his vessel was tor pedoed in the Atlantic in 1942. During the period of his imprison ment the captain says there was only one issue of Red rr< ss food parcels. And because of the trans poitation tie up, there appeared to be little chance that any more would be delivered. A number of the seamen have disclosed that it took then train four or five days to reach the Swiss border, traveling bv a round about route. Normally the trip would require only about eight hours. There were 46 merchant marin ers on the Gripsholm when it docked at Jersey City, N. J„ yes terday. All of the men had been captured by the Germans when their vessels were torpedoed.Thev were among the first to disembark In addition, there were 463 Amer ican soldiers, and 78 Canadian military personnel, all of them ill or wounded.
