SABOTAGE, RECORD It is reassuring to learn from Director J. Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau of Investigatior that many as have been the erresis and convictions fcr sabotage be- tween January 1, 1940, and February 1, of this year, only one plot that was uncovered proved to have been inspired by the enemy. That does not justify relaxation of vigilance. It is the maintenance of vigilance that ac- counts for the relatively slight damage that las been done to war manufactures and means of communication. There was something akin to conster- nation last June when it was revealed that eight German trained saboteurs, plentiful- ly supplied with American money, had been landed on the coasts of Long Island and } Florida. Their purpose was to organize de- | struction at American production centers. But a militaty commission of seven Atmy generals, appointed by President Roosevelt; tried them in July and. six of the number died August 8 in the electric chair in the District of Columbia jail, There has subsequently been no such widespread sabotage as to lead to the be- lief that other such groups have been land- ed and escaped arrest. Jn fact, it is sensible to credit the belief of Director Hoover that Germany went to such desperate lengths only because Hitler had no such groups al- | ready organized here upon which he could rely. Such instances of sabotage as there have been, Mr. Hoover indicates, have been perpetrated by individuals, and many have | been dve rot to love cf Germany, but io personal animesities against bosses or man- agement. Before Pearl Harbor no fewer than 2826 war plants were surveyed by the FBI and steps taken for permanent | protection of their vulnerable points, In all, 7,474 alleged saboteurs have been investi- | gated in the period referred to, and 424 in- dividuals have been sentenced te prison for | destructive criminal acts. | ; tary,” ond a little more than a third of what | with relief work, business and household | property, keep it up, Of great disasters due to sabotage there have been none in this war, showing | that Uncle Sam is better prepared now to | contend with sabotage than he was a quar-! ter century ago, i reise ees | Maybe saying it with vegetables will | be more acceptable soon than saying it | with flowers.

BY FROM FILES OF THE CITIZEN OF APRIL 13, 1933 | ag } i TWO PICTURES OF LABOR ° Beetle-browed John L. Lewis, with his purse-bulging $25,000 a year frorn the Uni:- ed Mine Workers of America, barks de- |; fiance at the President’s order freezing wages, while William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, with his country’s interests as well as the interests of labor at heart, issued this statement in con- nection with his endorsing the President's edict: : , “We know enough about economics to know that if ever the inflationary spiral gets cut of control, it is labor, the working men and women, who suffer most. We deem it out duty to guard carefully against such a catastrophe.” The Citizen has wondered many a} time why somebody doesn’t step to the front to tell Lewis “where to get off.” Anybody who wishes to do sc has much ground on passes, Day. which to base his denunciation. Lewis sees | to it that members of his family are well paid out of the miners’ funds.

If the carnival prefers, you take your percentage each night —well and good—if not, they post a surety bond in your local bank. And while you’re having your carnival, have one small | dugout, in plain view, for a re- cruiting station for new mem- bers—Legionnaires and S.A.L.’s. | I’m glad you wrote the way ‘you did about the Legion being a patriotic and Democratic or- ganization, etc. That is godd for | people to know. Personally, I'ma | very well aware of those things, and that is one reason I couldn't understand the lack of activity of the Key West Post, since I definitely know that your Flor- j ida Department has a consider- able list of names of Legionnaires from other parts of the coun- try, but who are, and have been for some time, stationed in Key West, but not one notice of a local meeting not one invita- tion to any activity of any sort, not even the location of the local post, has been mailed to any of | these men, and I haven't been dd-| al : to find any who even knew | where the Post was. Wou''S4y there has been Ho “fan-fare”, and the membership nd attendance have both be- come sadly depleted. That is a natural consequence, as the’ fan- fare is the thing that gets and brings in and keeps members active, while on the other hand, your members, if satisfied and made to feel that they are an integral part of your organiza- tion, are your best recruiter. Maybe a little more so called “fanfare” wouldn't. hurt. I nev- er heard of a business going on the rocks which had a good smart wide-awake publicity depart- ment.
