LONDON. June 22.-Countess Bar

day paid an unexpected visit to Bow

believed intended to safeguard her
baby son Lance from the danger of

However, the nature of the Wool

Sir Patrick Hastings, one of Brit

panied the countess to private sit

circulated that she had received a
letter she considered threatening to
the safety Of her baby.

mansion of the Haugwitz- Reventlows

to reach target unerringly from an
altitude of four miles.
When ls persons were indicted here
on charges of espionage, it was learned
from confidential sources it marked
only the beginning Of a drive against
more :han one foreign spy ring.
The ramifications of the work of
foreign secret intelligence agents, in
tensif1ed by the international situa-
ton and the world rearmament race,
are known only to picked Government
agents. Working with the Army and
Navy, the Justice, Treasury and other
departments of the civil Government
are protecting devices for national de-
fense with which warplanes may not
be equipped for another five years.
Among the secret projects under
going experiment is one whereby
planes may be driven by jets of air or
explosive gases. like rockets.
American warplanes of the future,
capable of bearing huge loads of ex-
plosives $500 miles, dumping them,
and returning to their bases without
landing, probably will have to be shot
into the air mechanically to insure
safe takeoff. The armed services are
preparing for that.
But the information coveted by
spies is not all of the future. Every
American warplane launched, often
at cost of sl,0O0,00O for research by
manufacturers and the Government,
embodies dozens of secret instruments
and pieces of equipment-ammunition
racks, electrically operated bomb re-
leases. power-operated machine-gun
turrets, and devices to insure the ac-
curacy of bombers diving on-instead
OF flying over-targets.
The spies want that data too.
One of the most jealously guarded
American military secrets at present
is a design for an aircraft engine
producing as much power as a steam
passenger locomotive.
A comic aspect of the current in
vestigation is the fact that air at
taches of the various foreign en-
bassies in Washington have access to
much Of the data the spies have been
trying to obtain. Superseded BY de-
velopments, the information is free
for the asking.

President Roosevelt called a spe-

The Chief Executive was busy
on important affairs of state when
he received a message that caused
him to drop all work and hastily
summon all members of the press
to his office.
Wondering at this sudden call,
the White House correspondents
left the press room and were
ushered into the Presidents Of
flee.
And there the President re
vealed the reason for this special

DUBINSKY BEST HOPE
"If Mr.. Dubinsky, who now
seems to be carrying the ball, can
put it over the goal line" said
Green, "and can get his colleagues
in the CIO to accept it, then there
are hopes for peace"
Green further emphasized that
the AFT. was mot in a beiiigerant
mood" However, he indicated
that if peace conferences were re-
vived, the first bid would have to
come from the CIO, and would
have to offer a favorable basis for
discussion. He declared his or

made last month, which were
vetoed by Lewis, after his negotia-
