G-Men Alert In Nations Protection

Although many Americans scoffed at the find
ings of the Dies Committee investigation in its ex-
pose OF un-American and subversive activities
developments prove that such committee has been
of great value to the nation. In that connection
the nation debt of gratitude to the G-Men
in their capture of II plotters before they
Were enabled to do at least some damage.
$3.50
Mayor LaGuardia, of New York City, said II
don't think the United States government is in much
danger from II guys like these Nevertheless this
danger averted through the ever watchfulness
of the FBI and IT guys like those could have caused
the loss of considerable life and property before be-
ing caught, had the discovery of the plot not been
made before hand.
President Roosevelt realizing the danger of such
activity, declared a limited state of emergency at
the outbreak of the last September, and author
lied increase of $50 in the force of the G-Men
serving under Director ]. Edgar Hoover of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation. These $50 men were
added for better protection against foreign spying
sabotage and other subversve activities
Realizing that a danger does exist and that
more in the force necessary to cope there
with the budget recently submitted to Congress-
made provision for another 100 G-Men, which would
bring the force under Mr.. Hoover up to 1,o74
Reports of suspicious activities the part of
aliens and others said to be pouring into the
FBI Offices at the rate of 200 day. and while many
of them may be groundless, some of them are inn
portant and must be investigated. 1t is generally
known that several foreign governments maintain
large numbers of secret agents in this country
There are also men who have attained citizenship,
whose un-American ideas spell trouble All of these
must be watched-and the Ci-Men doing just that.
****
Several measures to strengthen existing
laws against sabotage and espionage will likely be
passed at the present session of Congress, which
together with the large force of G-Men will provide
adequate protection to our national interests.
1t is probably absurd to think that II men could
overthrow the United States government, but they
with others, could do lot of damage which
through proper precautions be nipped in the bud
The Dies committee has brought un-American activ-
tiles to light and the FBI has through it's alertness
averted a danger.
Americans happy indeed that the II potters
were apprehended and placed under lock and key.
Most Americans believe that those who engage in
I'M American activities should be made to feel so
uncomfortable that they will leave this land OF free
dom (that freedom which they have violated) OF
their own free will and accord.

That was no starry-eyed crusade to make Sank

first game played of the new sport in this town
was with Melrose. Merose's victory seems quite

BY JACK STILLMAN

Theodore Roosevelt, who was oc.
cupied with big affairs, was at diff.
ferent times, Troop Committeeman,
Scoutmaster, Councilman, and Chief
Scout Citizen. He said: 1.-The Boy
Scout Movement is distinctly an as
set to our country for the develop
ment of efficiency, virility, and good
citizenship"
There are over 800, 900 Boy Scouts
of America. There are more coming.
IN and in, all the time. There is no
trouble about getting the boys,
Scouting gets them and keeps them
where there is a man to tie to. 1t
is as catching as measles, as tena-
cious as a crab. Once a Scout, always
a Scout, is more than a slogan. It's
a truth.
There is a need for Scout leaders,
and yet more Scout leaders. Boys by
the thousand all over this great
land Of ours are begging for them.
There never was a time when
Scouting and all it represents could
so well serve the nation as at pres
ent. There never was a time when
American boyhood needed more i'm
peratively what Scouting has tt
give them. But to push forward de
mands more power.
Eight MILAN Men in the Making
There are 1000 600 boys in Scou
ing. But there are 5000, 900 Other
boys of Scout age out of it. Think
Of it, you friends of boyhood! 5000,
900 boys, men in the making, the
fathers of future America, needing
only leadership to mould them into
citizenship Of the finest sort, 8,0OO,.
900 Of them, wanting your leader
ship!
If you are a busy business man
Scouting will give you relaxation
from care, make you young an6
happy and healthy with happy
healthy youth. If you are missing
and needing exercise, outdoor life
and comradeship, and sense of doing
worthwhile things along with tn,
business Of making a living, Scout
ing will give you what you are seek
ing. Fathers, business men, profes
sional teachers, pastors, college men
every man who enjoys boys ant
wants to serve them, here is w.,
opportunity!
America has become a boy-con
scious nation. So has Germany an,
the other countries lover there;
but not in the same way. Here il
America boys are taught through
the Boy Scout movement to rende
allegiance to the service Of God AM
the brotherhood Of man.. Scouting i
organized for Service, all service
any service, high or humble, big O
little, individual community, nation
al just service through the Goo
Turn philosophy.
The past 20 years have see a mai
velous change in the attitude of al
adult life toward youth. 1t is a nev
day for the boy and it is well TO
