Govt. Freezes
Axis Assets
Governor's Office, Juneau, Alaska
June 14
In view of the unlimited na
tional emergency declared by the
President, he has today issued an
executive order freezing immed
lately all German and Italian as
sets in the United State.s. At the
same time the order also freez
es the assets of all invaded or
occupied European countries not
previously frozen. These include
Albania, Austria, Czechoslovakia,
'Danzig and Poland. The freezing
control will be administered by
the Treasury Department.
These measures in effect bring
all financial transactions in which
German and Italian interests are
involved under the control of the
Government, and impose heavy
criminal penalties upon persons
failing to comply therewith. The
executive order is designed, am
ong other things, to prevent the
iuse of the financial facilities of
the United States in ways harm
ful to national defense and other
American interests, to prevent
the liquidation in the United Stat
es of assests looted by duress or
conquest, and to curb subversive
activities in the United States.
With a view to implementing
the control of German and Ital
ian assets in this country and in
view of the interreltionship of in
ternational financial transactions
the executive order has also been
■extended to the remaining coun
tries of continental Europe. How
ever, it is intended that through
the medium of general licenses
t'he freezing control will be lift
ed with respect to Finland, Por
tugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzer
land and the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics, conditional
upon the receipt of adequate as
surances from the governments
of such countries that the general
licenses will not be employed by
them or their nationals to evade
the purposes of this order. Fur
thermore, transactions under the
general licenses will be subject
to reporting and careful scrut
iny.
Simultaneously, with the issu
ance of the executive order, the
President approved regulations
ordering a census of all foreign
owned property in the United
States. This census will relate
not only to property in the Unit
ed States belonging to countries
and nationals subject to freezing
control but to all other countries
as well.
Under previous executive or
ders freezing control has been ex
tended to the assets of Norway,
Denmark, The Netherlands, Bel
gium, Luxembourg, France, Lat
via, Estonia, Rumania, Bulgaria,
Lithuania, Hungary, Yugoslavia
and Greece.

Policing For National
Defense Under FBI On
Coast to Coast Basis
By Jack Stinnett
WASHINGTON, June — First i
assignment of the Federal Bu-1
reau of Investigation under the
national defense program was the
investigation of every complaint
of fifth-column activity and the
business of searching out pos
sible sabotage needles in 12.000
national defense plant haystacks.
No normal-time police organi
zation could have been handed
such an order with any expecta
tion of its being filled. But FBI
Director John Edgar Hoover ex
pects to fill it because of the “FBI
Law Enforcement Officers Mobil
ization Plan for National De
fense.”
In the quarterly conferences
that 54 FBI agents-in-charge hold
with thousands of police officials
everything that the FBI knows
about national defense protection
is handed on to police of the cit
ies and the grass roots.
News From London
This isn’t second-hand know
ledge either. Recently two FBI
agents returned from several
months of intensive study of po
lice methods in London. One in
valuable thing they brought back
was a movie entitled “War and
Order” which shows police at
work.
Everything that British police
knew about sabotage, espionage
and fifth column activity has
been made available. Out of that
has come the program of sec-j
fional conferences in which near;
ly 4.300 police agencies are school1
ed in defense police work. There
is no better way to describe it
than to give a sample FBI quar
terly conference program.
There are: “Instructions on
counter espionage:” "Handling
I sabotage violations;” "How to
! handle bombs and explosives;”
i “Citizens’ cooperation in nation
i al defense police work;” “British
methods as demonstrated by lan
1 tern slides and the movie ‘War
and Order.”
Methods of sabotage agents are
explained in detail. Vulnerable
points, hazards, personnel physi
j cal properties confidential docu
| ments (war secrets), fire preven
; tion, guard force, and identifica
tion system of defense industrial
plants are given a thorough comb
ing.
To pick out one example, an
FBI technical laboratory expert
: displays an innocent appearing
j pencil. It has lead that will write,
an eraser that will erase. While
he is writing with it to demon-j
strate its apparent harmlessness,
the expert explains that inside
the pencil is a capsule of incen
diary powder flanked by a tinier
capsule of acid. When this acid
eats through to the powder —
combustion, and perhaps a de
fense plant fire. The FBI man ex
plains how this little gadget can
Nurses To
Get Course
For Defense
WASHINGTON. June — As a
step towards increasing the ra
tion’s sunply of registered nurses
the American Red Cross this sum
mer will sponsor a training
school for nurses. Miss Mary.
Beard. Director. Red Cross Nurs
ing Service, announced here. The
school, the first during the pres
ent emergency, will be operated
in collaboration with Bryn Mawr
College and the Woman's Medical
College of Pennsylvania.
The hundred college graduates
will be trained as nurses in a
shorter t:me then the usua 36
months. The school will be held
at Byrn Mawr College from June
23 to September 13. A tuition fee
of S100 per student will be charg
ed. Applications for enrollment;
in the school should be addressed \
to: The Red Cross Nurses Train
ing Camp, Gyrn Mawr College.
Pa.
Miss Beard said the project is
patterned after the highly sue-1
ce=sful Nurses Training Camp;
sponsored by the Red Cross and
Vassar College in 1018.
She pointed out that there is a
dearth of trained nurses as a re
sult of the constantly expanding
national defense program. Thisi
step is one of many which must |

Th:s is only one of the count-1
less theoretical cases the FBI con
ferences go into.
That Alien Round-Up
What happened recently in the
national round-up of aliens is an 1
example. FBI agents, numerical
ly, couldn't have begun to handle
even these few hundred. They
hardly appeared among the ar
resting officers at all.
But for the all-out mobiliza
tion plant, it was no trick—what-j
ever. Police departments moved
as a unit from New York to San
Francisco. A few years ago, such
a cooperative police plan would
have been unheard of.
In the World War, it was just ai
dream. And this was no more
than a test case. The department
of justice and its “Law Enforce-,
ment Plan” may misfire here and
there but it has come a long way
since the days of our last nation
al emergency. For the first time,
it has put policing- for national
defense on a coast-to-coast basis, j

Mayo Surgeon
First 11. S. Doctor
Off To Britain
WASHINGTON. —Dr. Howard
R. Ives, Jr,, 30-year-old, soft
spoken “Down East” surgeon, is
the first phys:clan to answer the
British Red Cross appeal for
1.000 young American doctors.
Stopping off at Washington to
get final instructions from the
American Red Cross before de
pariing( he displayed a friendly,
but firm aversion to publicity
when interview by the press.
A--ked whether his British as
signment was just part of an al
ready adventurous career, Dr.
Ives replied, “This is the only
dramatic incident that has ever
happened to me.”
Dr. Ives goes to Brtiain from
the Mayor Foundation at Roch
ester. Minn., where he is in the
second year of a threc-vear fel
lowship in surgery. He will com
plete the fellowship upon his re
turn to this country a year hence.
Meeting with Chairman Nor
man H. Davis and David K. E.
Bruce, acting vice chairman in
charge of foreign operations, Dr.
Ives told how he wrote the Red
Cross the day he saw newspaper
accounts of the British shortage
of doctors.
Upon his arrival in Britain he
will be given choice of serving
in the Royal Army Medical Corps
or the civilian Emergency Medi
cal Service. Service with the
RAMC would entail being assign
ed duty at any point in the Brit
ish Empire where doctors are
needed.
Unmarried, Dr. Ives is a native
of Portland, Me., where his. mo
ther lives. He received his de
gree at Yale Medical School in
1937, after graduating from Wil
li' ms College. Eefore going to
the Mayo Foundation, he served
on the staffs of Rhode Isand Hos
pital at Providence; the Twillin
gate (New Foundland) Hospital,
and the New Haven (Conn.) Hos
pital.
BIG COAST DEFENSE GUN SPEAKS ITS PIECE
This big coast defense rifle sticks its nose over the parapet at Fort Barry, near San Francisco, fires at
a target miles at sea, then disappears. Soldiers of the sixth coast artillery are bringing up another
shell (right) to be rammed into the breech as soon as the gun drops into position on its disappear
ing mount.
Through a gruelling 5V2 months’ sardine season, the
Diesel of the "Western Queen,” lubricated with RPM DELO,
operated smoothly and continuously, day after day, 1 5 hours
at a clip—no stuck rings, no sludge or carbon trouble.
Like Spivo Babich of the "Western Queen,” skipper after
skipper report the same outstanding service from RPM
DELO. It’s a proven fact that with RPM DELO on the job,
your engine stays on the job longer. RPM DELO lubricates
et'eryengine"hot spot"—and staysputto an unequaled degree.
Sail with RPM DELO and you’ll save plenty in operating
costs. You’ll be through with frequent overhauls due to ring
sticking, carbon and sludge trouble—and you’ll reduce wear.
Ask the skippers who are using RPM DELO!
Saves money two ways!
STANDARD DIESEL FUEL
First!—you get top power on every stroke.
But that's only half the story. Made with just
the right lubrication quality, it protects in
jector mechanisms with clearances as tiny as
1/400,000th of an inch. You know
what that means—less wear on fuel
pumps and injectors.
