Proving Its Worth
4
Edgar J. Hooter, direct:r of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, states that the close of the fiscal year
1942, which ended June 30, has been the most success
ful since the creation of the FBI. Probably no other
law enforcement agency has proved such a capable
watchdog in keeping America’s war gears from being i
gummed up bv foreign agents. The recent roundup of
German agents sent to America for the purpose of
sabotage has received enough publicity to prove that
the FBI is on its toes. But the record for the year
brings out the startling fact that 213 persons were
convicted of espionage.
Two major spy rings were broken up during the j
year and members of another are awaiting trial this ;
month. During the entire year, a total of 1,471 convic-1
tions were secured in cases involving espionage, sabot-1
age, un-American activities and violations of the Sel
ective Service Act. All of this work has been carried
on in addition to the regular load of kidnappings, rob
beries and other non-war crimes. A grand total of 7.448
convictions were obtained in cases investigated by FBI
agents. Convictions were secured in 97 percent of the
cases taken to Federal court.
From the outbreak of war up until June 30, 9.405
aliens of enemy nationality were apprehended by the
FBI and cooperating peace officers. Contraband seized
in these roundups included 3,008 guns, more than
210,000 rounds of ammunition, more than 1,600 radio
sets equipped for short wave, over 2.400 cameras and
enough camera equipment to stock a photographic
supply house, 1,652 sticks of dynamite, 2.529 dynamite
caps, and 3.472 feet of dynamite fuse. In addition, hun
dreds of photographs, maps and charts and documents
containing confidential information about American
defenses have been seized.
This speed and efficiency with which American law
enforcement agencies swung into action following the
Pearl Harbor attack were the result of months of in
tense study and preparation. All over the nation, offic
ers assisted the FBI in discharging its wartime duties.
But the groundwork for this united action was laid by
the FBI in its Law Enforcement Mobilization Pan for
National Defense which was begun while some Ameri
c: n interests were still selling scrap iron to Japan.
Britain and U. S. Defied By Gandhi
w
WARDHA. India, Aug. — Mohandas K. Gandhi
started to lay the ground work for rushing passage of
his resolution demanding that the British emit India.
Gandhi, the spiritual leader of the nowerful all-India
Congress Party, will begin formal discussion with the
party’s working committee Friday, but in the mean
time he is expected to contact the influential committee
members to gain full support for his petition. Gandhi
reiterated in his newspaper Harijan recently that
neither persecution nor threat of force, either from
Britain nor the United States, will swerve him in his
intention to call a mass sit-down strike of India’s
Hindu millions unless the British quit India.
Attitude Of Gandhi
Although Gandhi wants the British government to
quit India he has suggested that he would just as soon
have the British armv and American armed forces
remain in India to fight against theexpected Japanese
attack. At the same time Gandhi would have his fol
lowers meet the Japanese invasion by non-violence re
sistance. Developments in the critical Indian situation
took a new twist when an influential working commit
tee member, Sirdar Vallabahi, declared in a speech
that the All-India conference is prepared to dissolve
itself at the moment of freedom from British rule.
Freedom To End Congress
He asserted that once India was free the mission of
the Congress was ended. Vallabahi declared that the
Congress did not seek power for itself.
Vallabahi was interpreted in many quarters as in
spired by Gandhi in an attempt to win support for his
plan i'rcm the minority Moslem league. The Moslems
have long contended that Gandhi and his party lead
ers are political opportunists seeking to establish a
Hindu rule over all of India’s ninety million Moslems.
I
Toughest W ar
Front Is Alaska
Says Col. Zanuck
Col. Darryl Zanuck Tells Of
Aleutian Situation On His
Return To States
SEATTLE, Aug, — Col. Darryl
F. Zanuck. famous motion picture
! director has just arrived in Se
j attle, after having placed motion
picture cameramen on the strat
egic Aleutians “as tar as they can
go without running into Japs.”
The colonel classed the soldiers
. of the Aleutian front on a par
; with England’s Commandos.
"The soldiers and sailors on
the Aleutians have the most diffi
cult job of any men in the arm
ed forces anywhere in the
world,” he said.
"There’s a hell of a war up
there. I’d rather fly to Berlin
nightly than to Kiska once. There
are two wars in the Aleutians,
one against the Japs and one
| against the weather.
Terrible Weather
I "People think our men are sit
ting around up there. But our
army and navy men are flying in
weather which fogs their wing
tips from view. They’re living in
a land barren of trees, where
there is not on civilian. To bomb
Kiska they must fly farther than
from London to Berlin, in wea
ther that has no equal in the
world.”
The "great comedy” of the Al
eutian war, Colonel Zanuck said,
is the Japanese attempt at radio
propaganda. All United States
fighting men hear on their land
radios is a station in Japan. And
about 80 percent of the broad
casting is done in English.
Nature of Propaganda
"They tell us how insane we
are for fighting,” he explains.
“They try to use American slang
and they mispronounce it, and
they use words we haven’t heard
for 20 years. I don’t see how they
could fool a high school student
with it.
I Colonel Zanuck's job. to super
vise the war of the camera,
which he calls America's ‘secret
i weapon,” is one which has been
little publicized.
Recorded In Films
! In World War I, photographic
i records were only a few nf*ws- j
I reel clips.
But in World War II, signal i
corps cnnvrmon all over the
: world are recording in still and
in motion pictures the story of
the war. Actual combat, installs- :
lions, living conditions an- all
guing down on film.
First the films arc sent to the
chief signal officer and his staff
for review by the war depart- !
merit. Then they are edited, so
that military information will by i
no chance fall into the hands of!
the enemy.
And then the films are passed
on for training of the fighting
men who must some day go to
the same theatres of operations.
I The films may eventually be re-!
leased in part for public con
; sumption. From them some day
will come a pictorial history I
Imio'k, the greatest photographic ,
, story of war ever made, the great i
est document of American cou- !
rage. j
U. S. Heroism in North
And they will picture what
Colonel Zanuck and the men of
the armed forces and the people
of the little English island, and
China, and all besieged countries
already know, but what some of
the rest of us may not realize. |
“That other war,” says Col- i
onel Zanuck, who as a boy of!
sixteen was overseas with the in
fantry, “was fought in one place
and you left it, and came back
to it. But this war is everywhere.
It’s grim and it’s bitter and there
are no bands marching to the
front. And the boys up there in
the Aleutians are fighting the
worst part of it.”
In June Col. Zanuck was in
I England, organizing photograph
ic crews for the Signal Corps, of
which lie is chief of the field
photographic staff.
He was assigned to the Com
mando operations as a military
observer.
