decimated tie plants force of 1900
employees. but the survivors were all
put to work, making dynamite,
clearing debris and hunting for bod
les
The scene was swarming with in
vestigators representing the army
and navy intelligence services, the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, the
Dies committee investigating un-
American activities. the New Jer-
sey legislature and police. Some of
the secret agents had come by taxi
cab as far as Virginia.
A search of the ruins was delayed
by Smouldering fires, which had
burned fitfully all night, accompan-
led by puffs of alcohol vapors. Over
more than half square mile of
hot stones and bricks and molten
steel lay in heaps.
Awaiting an opportunity to get
onto the grounds, investigators
questioned surviving workers, some
of whom said that several employees
of the Hercules and the Picatinny
army arsenal at Dover, nearby, had
been discharged recently as the
aftermath of joint Ku Klux Klan-
German American Bund meeting at
the Bund's Camp Nordland, 10 miles
from here.
The workers said that FBI men
had watched the meeting and had
noticed several cars bearing the
small identification plates issued
to munitions plant workers, enter
ing the Bund camp. A check up OF
these Identification plates led to
the dismissals, according to the
workers.
