went with his little black bag, eased the poor

Science Secrets

FOREIGN SPIES are not after
L the position of our forts,
troop locations and military de-
tense details. These are worth
just about what the NaziS were
paying some of their workers
$3.50 per month. First, most
foreign governments alrea ady
know these things. Second, no
foreign government is worrying
about invasion of this country.
What the foreign powers
want are our scientific secrets,
which an alert American de-
tense system is developing to
keep abreast of the world. They
want plans and blueprints. most
coveted of which now are the
air bombing sight and the plane
detector. To an observer, a de-
tector looks like a box with a
lot of gadgets on it. A spy would
have to steal one and send it
to Germany to be taken apart
by a skilled technician, or else
steal the plans for it, to get the
secret.
None of these boxes is miss
ing, and if one ever does there
will be plenty of trouble.
The planes cannot be stolen,
and are too complicated to be
memorized if a technician ever
got look at all of them at ono
They would make a stack of
papers about three feet high,
but never will, because only one
or two sections are ever in the
same well guarded place at one
time.
The spy caught in the air
plane manufacturing works
could not have had any really
damaging air dope. He was
making or assembling some
part of plane mechaniSms from
which it would be impossible to
get any comprehensive ideas.
Furthermore, this Govern
ment knows as much about
every aviation worker as about
it's own soldiers. That Douglas
bomber sabotage case in Cali
fornia, for instance, was under
control from the beginning.
