PITTMAN URGES
U. S. TO WATCH
FOR ALIEN SPIES
Sees Serious Threat In
Nazi Hunt for Data
BY ROBERT A. McGnL

U.N.s0 Warning the natiol
Of the serious implications of tn
Nazi spy expose, Senator Pittmal
D0 of Nevada today urged tn
Government to take every prC
caution" to guard its militar
secrets.
Chairman of the important For
eign Relations Committee. Pitt
man proposed that the Federal Blu
reau Of Investigation establish ;
large Spy division" and simultane
ously intimated he will introduce
legislation to strengthen the "anti
spy laws at the next session O
Congress.
SABOTAGE FEARED
There is not so much fear of
foreign attack as there is the
reasonable fear that spies will
organize in groups in various In
dustries, or even in our Govern
ment works, and probably be
prepared to demoliSh them on
the threat of war;" Pittman said.
In the event Of war. spies,
being on the inside of industrial
plants, will be in a position
where they might blow them up,
causing considerable loss of life,
or sabotage them to the detri-
ment of our defense"
Complementing the FBI on it.
investigation which resulted in tht
indictment of 18 alleged German
spies, Pittman proposed that it en-
large it's facilities to cooperate
with the military departments.
RAPS SPY MENACE
1.-THE Government should do
all in its power to abolish the
spy menace" he added. And
it should do it through the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation,
which is the best and most
complete organization we have
today. The activities of the bu-
reau should be enlarged to in
clude a separate sly division,
with the provision that in the
event of war we could convert
the entire force into the mill
tary service"
Pittman said he would "watci
very carefully the development
Of the spy expose at New York
II am going to watch this
situation, and whatever weak
neSses there are in the anti
spy laws will show us, and they
can serve as a guide for us at
the next session of Congress
by way Of new legislation"

Christian Science

"Soul and Body" is the subject
Of the lesson-sermon in all the
Churches of Christ, Scientist, to
morrow. The Golden Text is
from Isaiah 1858:
YEA, in the way Of Thy judg,
ments, o LORD, have we waited for
Thee: the desire of our soul is to
Thy name, and to the remem'
brance Of Thee"
Among the citations which COM
prise the lesson-sermon is the fol
lowing from the Bible:
"No man car serve two mas
tiers, for either he will hate the
one and love the other, or else he
will hold to the one and desplSe
the other. Ye cannot serve God
and mammon." CMatthew 6:24)
The lesson-sermon also includes
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook: "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
If we follow the command Of
our Master, Take no thought for
your life,' we shall never depend
on bodily conditions, structure or
economy, but we shall be masters
Of the body, dictate it's terms and
form and control it with truth"

STOCK MARKET
TONE STEAD|ER,
FIRM AT CLOSE
Price Changes Generally
Narrow, Trading Quiet
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 d.N.S0.
The stock market developed q
steadier tone today to end a week
of heavy liz III idation. Price
changes, however, were generally
narrow and trading extremely
quiet.
The market was mixed at the
opening, but met support almost
Immediately. Midway through the
session most stocks we're above
previous closing, and while some
profit-taking was attracted in final
transactions, stocks finished on a
firm note.
Motors, rails, aviations, most
steels, mail orders, rubbers and
chemicals all were moderately i'm
proved. Utilities and electrical
equipments Jagged.
Santa Fe. Chrysler, youngstown,
Eastman Kodak and U. s. Gypsum
were up a point or more at the
Gays highs.
The Washington times., 1938-11-19

to give the most, requires thought
planning. No two people are ex
actly alike, no two people have ex
actly the same tastes, the same
interests.
A carefully selected 81 gift
means more than a S. inappro
pirate gift bought at random.
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
I have particular reason to
know this because each year
receive gifts from two business
friends; one always embodieS
thoughtfulneSs and, therefore, ap
peals, whereas the Other gift be
trays utter lack of thoughtful
ness, appropriateness. The one
always makes me happy, the
other rather saddens me because
it conveys no iota of sentiment.
4 +
It is none too early for you and
me to begin doing our Christmas
shopping.
Assortments of Christmas gifts
now are complete. Shopping can
be done leisurely. Clerks can give
us every service.
Christmas goods, gifts, haven't
been Observation-Disclosures. Wom'
anhandled. They are fresh, pris-
tine, appealing.
SHOP IN COMFORT NOW
BY beginning now, you can ex
anime the widest varieties Of Of
ferings, you can (if you so desired
make comparisons, you can shop
in comfort.
Most of us know, from unpleas'
ant experience, what happens to
us when we put off and put off
our Christmas shopping until the
eleventh hour. The choicest nov.
elites have been snapped up
Many things look shopWorn from
much lingering. We are the vic
Tins of elbowing and jostling. In
many instances nerves Of clerks
have become frayed.
Shopping, in short, instead If
being a pleasure, is a painful ex,
perience.
What is uppermost in my mind
is not these phases of Christmas
shopping. but the Importance OF
embracing Christmas as an op
portunity for giving free vent tc
the ro0dwill tn the friendlineSS
to the affection we have in our
hearts for our friends.
BIG OPPORTUNITY
At Yuletide we can demonstrate
our liking for others in a way
not possible at any time during
the rest of the year. Let us not
be afraid to take advantage Of
this precious opportunity.
Life, barren of sentiment, would
not be worth living.
