Normal Operations.
No reports of preparations for the
fleet have yet come from the Pan
ANA Canal Zone. War Department
officials here said they knew of no
unusual activity in the zone. The
defense forces were engaged in nor
NAL operations, they said. and the
existing fields of controlled mines
were being maintained at the Canal
entrances, but no new mines have
been laid.

said they had checked the highest

and are protected by coast artillery
against being swept up by an enemy
fleet. The mines must be checked
regularly, the officers said, and re-
paired or replaced in case they are
out of order.
AS to reports that the heaviest
railroad artillery in the Canal Zone
had been rushed to the Atlantic
side, the officers said they had no
information on this but that Canal
defense forces were engaged in ma
neuvers almost constantly.
The White House repeated its
mo news" reply to inquiries today
as to whereabouts of the fleet. Both
President Roosevelt and Stephen T.
Early. his secretary, made this
answer to queries yesterday.
With regard to reports that the
Panama Canal approaches are being
mined, Mr.. Early said the White
House likewise has mo news" but
added that such a development
would not necessarily be known
here. Corps commanders of the
defense districts have full authority

defense purposes, Mr.. Early ex-
planned, without consultation with
Washington.
Garrison Strengthened.
Within the last year the Canal
garrison has been strengthened by
additional artillery-especially anti
aircraft guns-f1ghting planes and
infantry.
Some informed quarters said that
II the fleet appeared at the Canal
Tor transit to the Atlantic the move
might be construed by Japan as a
sign she could have a free hand"

On Citizenship Of
Wire Employees
Move Launched in Feor
Of Fifth Column :
Activities
By WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY,

BY WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY.
Plans for checking the citizenship
of more than 100000 employees of
cable, telegraph and telephone COM
panies are being formulated by the
Federal Communications Commits
sion. While the program has not
been completed, F. c. C. Chairman
James Lawrence Fly said today he
had discussed it with public utility
officials.
While the Government does not
have, authority to require any of
these employees, except radio OPP
orators, to be United States citizens,
1t was said check of all COM
munications workers is desirable be-
cause of the possibility of fifth
column" activities.
Chairman Fly said a preliminary
study indicated there was a 20 per
cent possibility of leakage through
persons handling radio communica-
tions and 100 per cent possibility in
cable and telegraph messages. The
fifth column" fears include line and
maintenance employees, who have
vital information on circuits, as well
as operating personnel.
Telephone company officials said
there never had been any occasion
to check citizenship of employees, but
declared that the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co. had set in
motion machinery for protecting its
circuits.
The commission expects to obtain
cooperation of communications
companies in checking employees, but
it was indicated that, if this is not
forthcoming, statutory authority
would be sought to require that all

but it was unknown whether the
French would accept the offer.
Spanish border reports said the
French government was planning to
move to Clermont -Ferrand in Cen
tral France.
| Authorized sources said the armis-
tice terms imposed on France were
designed solely to meet war condi-
tions and in no respect foreshadow
the peacetime reorganization of Eu-
rope which Adolf Hitler envisages.
The purpose of the terms. which
were published here last night, was
to render France incapable of giving
further aid to England rather than
to inflict permanent injury or dis
honor upon the conquered republic,
these sources declared.
They pointed out that Germany
went so far as to assure France
that occupation of her entire At
lantic shore by Nazi troops-an i'm
portant condition of the armistice-
would continue only so long as nee
essary to conclude the war with
Great Britain.
They further emphasized that
Germany, and Italy in her parallel
armistice with France, while de-
manding surrender of the French
fleet, "solemnly' promised not to
use French vessels except for mine
sweeping and harbor defense, and
have no intention of demanding
permanent possession of that fleet
after the war.
Other Provisions.
Other principal provisions of the
armistice were aimed at enabling
Germany to use every energy in the
war against England, Nazis de-
clared.
These provisions included occupa-
ton of more than half of France by
German troops, demobilizing of the
French Army, grounding of the
French air force and prohibiting use
of all port and airdrome facilities in
occupied areas for military purposes.
(The details of the German
French armistice agreement an
nounced in Berlin varied in no
important detail from the version
issued Sunday by the British In
formation Ministry
Although the German high COM
mand is given almost absolute con-
troll over Frances domestic and for
eign affairs under the armistice, it
was said that domestical.y the
French administration would be pre-
served to large extent.
In a broadcast last night from
Bordeaux, Frances Premier Marshal
Petain said the government was pre-
pairing to undertake ''the great work
of reconstruction and declared "a
new order will be built up in France" J"
