Sabotage and espionage today are not confined to specific and tangible crimes of destruction. Far more deadly, in fact, is the hysteria created by the spreading of false rumor, combined with the damaging effects of carelessness. National defense, therefore, comprises a good measure of keeping carelessness under control and checking the spread of falsehoods that sap morale of the civilian population.

Take the cases of three powder mill explosions that have happened in the United States since the war began in Europe. There was widespread whispering and belief that all were the work of saboteurs. First was the blast which destroyed the United Railway Signal company plant at Woodbridge. N. on November 12, 1940 an explosion that took 14 lives.

The company, despite contrary reports, did not have a single government contract.

His current production is "The Beautiful People," which this reviewer rates a bit lower than does the author. It is struggling along after a few weeks of moderate success and the author-producer has found it necessary to administer another hypo.

Saroyan and it must be emphasized that he is absolutely sincere took advertising space the other day to advise that anyone who bought a ticket to see his play but found it unsatisfactory could go to the box office at the end of the performance and get his money back. But that was only half of it. Having himself known worse days, when buying a theater ticket would have meant going without food for time, Saroyan also provided that even a person who bought a ticket and liked the play could get his money back after the performance simply by telling the ticket salesman that he needed the money. Tire results of such an innovation will be something to await. What wards for information leading to the arrest and conviction of saboteurs.

The spy menace is not met by filling the jails with suspects or by standing known agents before a firing squad. An important part of the work lies in watching the suspect or actual spy. Premature action against one foreign agent may prevent the capture or disrupture of an entire ring." COMIC RELIEF IX SPY DRAMA Sometimes these false spy scares turn out with unexpected results i The most classic example of this was caused by the innocent request of a newspaper photographer.

GOSSIP MAKES GOOD SCARE PROPAGANDA Explosions in the plants of the Trojan Powder company at Allen-town, were also called accidental blasts. Only the Trojan plant had a government order, but the explosion here happened in a section which was not working the government order. Screaming about the foreign agents who were at work in these plants did no good, serving only to create hysteria. As an example of the wild rumors which might have serious consequences, there can be mentioned now the famous scare which received wide belief and still wider distribution, to the effect that in one shipyard in Maine there were 91 fire extinguishers found to contain gasoline.

There was no truth whatever to this one. but foreign agents could not have done a better job of scare propaganda than was set in motion here by careless gossip.
