 Speaking of fingerprints. some evidence of what vitSl industrial plants are doing to protect them selves against sabotage may be gleaned from recent FBI finger print record receipts. In three months in the 1941 fiscal year, 730,753 sets of fingerprints were received by the bureau from in dustrial and commercial firms. During the corresponding quarter in l94O, the FBI got only 248,842 sets from such companies.
 In the last few days, the FBI has had two cases which illus trate the value of this finger printing in criminal investiga- ton. One fellow, who had applied for a job and sworn that he never had been arrested, was discovered to have been twice in trouble, first when he made false affl- davits in connection with Vet erans Bureau claim in Okla homa-for which he was sen- tenced to Is months in Leaven- worth penitentiary and again when he violated the conditions of his parole. The second case was that of a man who sought job and admitted that he had been arrested three times. What he neglected to tell his fingerprints did tell-he was fugitive, wanted in Santa Monica, Cal, for burglary.
 A perfect match for the

 where a highly secretive
 weapon was developed. The

 where the preliminary work on
 the weapon was done--behind

 was. completed. Where is it?'
 the agents asked - and were
 taken cut of the main factory
 to a fIimsy shed, whose doors
 were held fast by simple metal

 None of these, however, caused FBI agents such consternation as the aviation plant where some of our choicest new planes are being built A little before eight one morning, the investigators were. amazed to see a small parade of children come up to the gates of

One thing that is conspicuous about
Miss Hastings's nnarionettes is the
beautiful use she makes of colors,
both in the clothes and the settings
for her puppet actors. This same sense
of color is equally conspicuous in the
nonprofessional side of her life. The
food at her parties is famous among
her friends for its sheer beauty. After
noon tea at her apartment is an aes-
thetic experience, what with sand
wiches of delicately colored breads, or
white breads with lovely colored fill
ings. or salad greens encircling yell

and tints of flowers.

koUD, pIetly, Dlue-eyeu, quiet -
even slightly vague - in man.
u ner, Sue Hastings is one of those
bewildering women who upset your
keenest calculations about the sort of
person she must be. She looks and
seems fragile. Actually, on the con-
trary, she is the successful head of
the largest and most active marionette
organization in the country, and has
personally toured England, Scotland,
the West Indies. Cuba, the Virgin
Islands, and South America with her
puppets. Last January. she took one of
her marionette companies to Miami
and Palm Beach and from there to
Nassau to perform under the auspices
of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
At the last count there were some
1900 puppets in her organization -
clowns, kings. princesses, theatrical
and public personalities such as Ed
Wynn, Beatrice Lille, Charlie Chap
lin and Mrs. Roosevelt. In addition,
there are often as many as sixty pro-
fessiOnal actors on tour with the pup
pets in different regions of the coun-
try, or busy with a variety of engage
ments in any one section. The marion
cites have made their appearances in
Broadway shows, at Columbia Uni
versity, at night clubs, department
stores. private parties, schools and
advertising shows. They played two
season run at the New York Worlds
Fair Moreover, their number is con-
stantly being increased as new show
ideas originate in the fertile Hastings
brain. So the organization also includes
a sculptor who models and paints
heads, the men who do the wood
carving, the girls who make the dress
es, the girl who does nothing but wash
and iron and care for the puppets
clothes, and the girls who shop.
"The shopping is very important"
Miss Hastings says. For instance,
perhaps, we are going to do an under
sea thing. Somewhere in city like
New York are to be found all the
strange things we need for clothes and
settings"
AS child and young girl, nothing
could have been further from Sue
Hastings's mind than that she would
ever be connected with the theatrical
business. Her preacher-father. with
his succession of posts in mission
churches. did not approve of the
theater. But churches everywhere
need money" Miss Hastings says,

itself. containing four, power units which house the 16-cylinder Diesel engines and their generators. The locomotives operation is simple. The Diesel engines drive genera tors which furnish power to motors attached to the wheels. Each of the four cars has four traction iinits--one attached to each set of wheels-giving the entire engine a total of 16 driving wheels and 5400 horsepower.
 Mallets Now in Use.
 Steam driven Mallets now are used by western railroads for the long transcontinental hauls. These 16-wheeled monsters. in reality two engines moutned beneath one boil CT, develop tractive force of 140,- 900 pounds and are among the most powerful in the world.
 In comparison, the new 100 ex- erts a tractive force of 240,000 pounds.
 Santa Fe officials admit the idea of using Diesel-electric power for freight service is an experiment which will either succeed or fail on operation costs.
 "It's purely a matter of costs" J. P. Morris, superintendent of Diesel power said.
 "If we find it possible to move freight at a lower cost per ton mile u.e. the cost of moving one ton of freight one mile). with these new Diesel-electric units than with steam, we will expand their use. If the initial costs. operating and maintenance costs prove higher than the present equipment now in lise. we will be forced to abandon the idea.

inaugural run pulling 66 cars.
 The locomotive has 40 forward speeds gained from five speed ra- tios which have eight variab.es each On down grades the power units are reversed and made into brakipg units, giving the train 16 retarda- tion units instead of 16 motors. Each retardation unit generates electricity which presents one of the toughest problems to engineers getting rid of the excess power gen. erated by these units when they are used as brakes.
 Having no use for the extra elec- tricity generated, it is allowed to escape through large grids placed atop the four cars of the engine. So much current is generated that it heats the grids to extremely high temperatures necessitating the con- tinuous operation of large blowers to keep them reasonably cool.
 Vast Power Wasted.
 On the Kansas City-Los Angeles run, the 100 generated 10 per cent as much electricity on downhill as was generated on the entire trip by the Diesel motors. This elec- tricity was wasted as no storage batteries are carried on the train.
 The interiors of the two cabs of the l00-it is equipped with cabs at each end-are acoustically treated to shut out the roar of the four i6- cylinder Diesels. and both are fur nished with leather upholstered swivel chairs for the two operators, sun visors. hot water heaters, com- pressed-air windshield wipers, and roller type windows. making 1t. as one disgusted steam hogger' put 1t Hook more like trolley car than a freight engine"
 At present the railroad plans to use the two engines between San Bernardino. Cal. and Winslow. Ariz. where their mighty power will be most useful operating over the three heavy grades and arid terrain. ean- ta Fe officials said the division is one Of the toughest on their lines and will furnish the aeid test for the Diesel eiectrics.
