be taken a more psychological turn.
The chiefs have found that profek

clergymen, can get at news sources
faster and easier than some reduce
tive siren with an establishment and
a doubtful lure.
New Sources Suggested
The chiefs have found that the
average person possesses valuable
information, children, working girls,
letter carriers, simple soldiers, and
war workers from the factories. The
higher offices no longer fall for the
sloe-eyed vampires. II an officer Is
known to possess special technical
information he Is made the subject
of special study and the best way
to reach him Is through his hobbies.
Money is still the old standby and
nothing pleases spies so much as
to find an officer Of a valuable

Thus ingenious ways are found to
lend him money and relieve him Of
both his financial cares-and his
information.

press gave important details on the
German use Of drugs where mans

complicated system was reported
to be prevalent among the smaller

A Polish woman said that the

Another woman said she left her

did not say she was opposed to 1t

that Allied troops had withdrawn
from several strong points at the
left-channel-end OF their line after
the men In them had accomplished
their mission, destroyed a large
number of German tanks and dis
located German attacks.
Men withdrawn from these strong
points occupied assigned positions
In an orderly concerted manner,
the spokesman said.
At present, the spokesman said,
the extreme left Of the front ex-
tended from Ham, on the Somme,
In a generally southwestward d.
rection toward the Bresle Valley.
The spokesman, In summarizing
the situation, cautioned against
either excessive optimism or undue
pessimism.
Lines Are Holding
The situation remained serious,
he said, but the Allies were holding
everywhere and operations were
proceeding satisfactorily.
Gen. Weygand's immediate OBJ
jective, he said, was to annihilate
the tank column which broke
through the Bresle Line.
1t was estimated at the war Of
flee that the Germans had thrown
two-thirds Of their tank forces into
the fighting between Scissors and
the sea.
Allied artillery, particularly the
famous 75's, and airplanes had
taken an extremely heavy toll Of
the German tanks, the war Office
spokesman said. He estimated that
the Germans had put 1000 tanks
into action at the start of the bat
tie.
Is Tanks Destroyed
One battery Of 75's-four guns
destroyed rs tanks yesterday, the
spokesman said.
Airplanes constantly swept over
the fields, attacking tanks and mos
torized columns and infantry units,
the spokesman said, infiicting heavy
losses.
German airplanes had carried out
many bombardments in west CEN
trail France, the war Office spokes-
man said, and were constantly
making reconnaissance flights be-
hind the French lines, between the
present battlefield and the Seine.
German bombers attacked rail-
roads running north, west and
east from Paris, over which REIN
forcements might reach the front,
the spokesman said.

government purchases of more mod.
ern, up-to-date materials.
Mr.. Roosevelt told his press con-
ference yesterday that he has au-
thority to trade in airplanes and
ammunitions on new purchases but
that further legislation Is needed
to apply the system to the sale Of
guns.
Should this additional authority
not be forthcoming, however, the
administration Is expected to make
use Of 1920 statute permitting the
army to sell surplus equipment-in-
GLIDING guns-to friendly nations.
In such sale, the money would be
turned over to the general treasury
funds.
The army has completed arrange
ments under which the United
States Steel corporation will act as
clearing house" for transfer Of
old guns and ammunition that
originally cost 5000, 100000 and for
which the army now will receive
about $5000O,000.
1t was learned that some Of the
equipment already has been shipped
to the company and that plans
have been completed for its trans
fer to eastern seaboard ports for
shipment to the Allies.
Official sources disclosed that
present plans call for turning over
to United States Steel 10000 Lee
Enfield rifles, nearly 1000 75-Milli-
meter guns of British and French
make, some Lewis machine guns
and large quantities OF ammunition.
The same trade in" procedure Is
being applied In disposing of at
least $40 army and navy planes.
Fifty navy scout bombers already
have been returned to the Curtiss
Areoplane Co., Buffalo, N. Y, and
another 40 will be returned Short
ly.
Estimates as to the number Of
United States planes to be trans
ferred by such methods varied wide
ly, but a careful rechecking of con
flicting reports indicated that i'm
mediate plans involve approximate
ly $40 ships. More may be added
later.
Meantime unconfirmed reports
circulated here that the admins
tration is planning to ask congress
before adjournment for an addi-
tional $1,000, 000, 900 in contract au-
thorizaticns for the defense pro-
gram. Most of the authorization
repeatedly would be for airplanes.
The plan reported to be under
discussion is that such an authoriz-
alton would enable the army and
navy to work out comprehensive
deals with plane makers, giving
them a huge quantity Of contracts
which woulc enable them to figure
ous their orders two years in ad-
vance.
An administration spokesman re-
vealed, In connection with the plane
"trade-ins' that the Allies will pay
enough for the aircraft to permit
this government TO get more mod
ern requirements from the manu-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-06-08

facturers at no further expense.
He implied that the Allies will
pay more for the planes than this
government originally paid.
The government. he said, lis get
ting new car prices for used car
materials"
He also denied arguments, adj
vanced by some critics of the pol
Icy, that 1t would weaken United
States defenses. In event this coun-
try is forced into war, he said,
shipment of planes to France and
Britain would be halted Immediate
.ly and the army, or navy, would
take over all craft unshipped or on
the assembly lines.
Assistant Secretary of War Louis
johnson announced that he would
send one Of the army's model pur-
suit planes to Dearborn, Mich,
Monday SO that Ford Motor Com
pany engineers can determine the
possibility of manufacturing such
craft on a mass production basis.
It was believed that the plane to
be sent is one of the new, high
speed Curtiss-W Wright P-40s.
johnson said he was sending the
plane at the request of Henry Ford,
who recently said that his plant
could turn out 1000 standardized
planes a day II the government
did not interfere with his opera
tons or tie him up with red tape.

PROPELLER SWAPS
DELAY LAUNCHING

Quincy, Mass, June 8-(UP)--The
inadvertent swapping Of propeller
shafts Of the new destroyers Mayo
and Benson today delayed their
builders trials.
Reports that the vessels, not yet
ready for acceptance by the U. s.
Navy, were sabotaged were de-
scribed as baseless by Navy officers
and the Bethlehem Shipbuilding
company. The mistake was discov-
cred Thursday when the shaft Of
the Mayo "froze" during a short test
run.
Frank Leahy, personnel manager
for the Fore River yard, explained
that through error the shaft made
for the Mayo was placed in the Ben
son, while the Benson's shaft was in
stalled in the Mayo. Such swapping.
he said, often occurs when ships OF
the same specifications are built side
by side.
The Benson and Mayo were dry
docked In South Boston while the
shafts were removed. repaired and
replaced. It is expected the Benson
will be of the ways by Tuesday and
will return to Fore River where the
scored shafts are being repaired.

Unlteu frcSS 0tdu correspondence
Paris, June 8-(UP)-Germany's
fifth column tactics In the war sud-
denly has projected the spying busi-
ness into unprecedented prominence.
In the foreign office parlance the
international spy Is now referred to
as "the Trojan horse" Fifth column
activities may be contained In any
project from artillerymen riding in
the bilge disguised as ship rats to
myopic Psychologists interested In
prehistoric bricks( and gun bases).
Recent developments In certain
European government, which must
remain a secret for at least some
months, have indicated the alarm
ing control which virtually every
nation, belligerent or neutral, has
over other nations information
sources. Europe Is covered with
spies, informers, officers in civilian
clothes, agents and hopeful revo-
lutionaries.
Two Spy Schools
The Fascist nations and the Com
munists are obviously the most un-
scrupulous, since their policies have
been apparent, bare-faced fraud,
treaty violation, blackmail and bluff.
The democratic nations are more
subtle and their agents, none the
less clever, observe the more ro-
mantle detective novel tradition.
Recent Investigations by the
democratic bloc have revealed that
the totalitarian nations use every
thing from narcotics and sex appeal
to abduction and murder.
The minister Of information,
alarmed by the increase Of fifth
column activities in France, issued
a recent communique warning the
people against gossiping, idle talk
and seemingly harmless chatter
about military subjects. The COM
munique went farther than any
thing of this kind by threatening
oarrest and try any person caught
talking foolishly to other persons
who might use information in a
military way.
Methods Have Changed
Consequently the international
spy, who rides about the still neu-
trail countries Of Europe. dining ex-
pensively In de luxe train restaur-
ants, sitting in the cafes and bars
of pleasure resorts, joining carefree
skiing parties or dawdling on the
sands Of the Lido. has been forced
to adopt q new code. Everyone Is
on the lookout for informers, and
naturally all spies are on the look
out for information.
AS In the World War. most Of
these veterans Of the NTH column
all know each other. In the last
war they met In Geneva at cele-
brated brasserie where the beer Is
famous. They met over aperitifs In
