§ Mr. BellengerU-Boat commanders and chief engineers are included in the categories, which, under the demilitarisation laws, are subject to special screening. There remain 227 cases still to be dealt with, but of the 133 already screened four only have been excluded under these laws from the general repatriation scheme.
