Meeting at the John Quincy Adams
School, the group called for appro-
priation of $25 900 in Federal funds
for civilian defense in the District
The money would be used for Or

tional expenses.
Members also approved a 1-cent
increase in the city gasoline tax

sition to any change in current zon-
ing policy and a demand that the

A District Court order will hold

$4,000 cash bond posted by Manfred
Zapp and Guenther Tom, who were
indicted on charges OF failure tc
register correctly with the State De-
partment as foreign agents.
Justice Jesse c. Adkins, jr., issued
the order at the request Of Special
Assistant to the Attorney General
Edward J. Hickey. The two men are
officials Of Transradio. a German
news agency accused OF disseminat-
ing propaganda in the United States
and Latin America.
Zapp and Tom have been re-
turned to Germany In exchange for
two American newspapermen and
the indictment against them here
has been shelved. Their counsel
Emil Morosini, jr., OF New York ad-
vised the court money for their bond
was obtained from the German
counsel general in New York City
Consequently, the German Embassy
is interested in getting the money

Seriously prejudicial to our inter-

But the cleverest move to capital
ize on this golden opportunity for
sabotage was rumor skillfully
planted among the men in National
Guard units that a large number of
soldiers, more than a thousand, had
deserted en- masse from a certain
Regular Army division.
The men had been fed this par
ticular rumor because such an oc-
currence in the Regular Army was
indicative Of a general breakdown in
discipline. The actual fact in this
matter was that the division in
question had one lone desertion in

Axis Plans SABOTAGE

Chief Of StoH Charges
Nozi Propaganda Drive
To Upset Army Morale

Gen. George c. Marshall sum-
moned the Nation last night to be
en- guard against q sudden and
widespread attempt" by the Axis
powers to sabotage the United
States munitions, utility and trans
portation industries.
Already, he declared, the Axis
has unleashed q propaganda attack
designed to disrupt Army morale
and the "clever methods" used. he
added, have succeeded In upsetting
the families of soldiers and have
"misled" members of Congress.
I'VE should realize" the Army
chief OF staff said in a broadcast
on Civilian Defense Week, that
the more we. as Nation, influence
the course of this war the more
important 1t becomes for us to pro-
tect every phase Of our national
life against the efforts of the Axis
powers to deter or weaken U.S."
The Citizens Defense Corps, he
said. will serve "a vital purpose in
completing our general organization
for the security of America and
am sure that it will exert a strong
influence in combating secret and
destructive efforts to divide and
confuse our people"
Must Convince Inlanders.
Gen. Marshall said it was not
dificult for persons living along
the coast to see the need for an
air raid warning service, but was
more difficult to convince people
in the interior of the country that
some OF the most serious schemes
for destructive action against our
interests are possibilities in their
midst"
ut seems best to speak very
frankly on this particular subject" "
he continued. The Government
today is constantly on guard against
damage to our industries or their
products, but we must be prepared
for sudden and widespread at
tempt at sabotage directed against
the entire munitions industry, in
cluding the critical utilities and
transportation facilities.
Nothing should be taken for
granted. We should assume that
at q given moment wholesale sabo-
tage may be attempted by the far
reaching organization which has Sc
cretly and ceaselessly been planning
for just such an occasion.
Prepare Against Confusion.
I'VE must be prepared against the
confusion that so easily can be Gre

Despite the seriousness Of the
possibilities" of sabotage, Gen.
Marshall said he was more con-
cerned over Axis propaganda meth
DDS which for long time have
been directed against the develop
ment of our entire defense pro-
gram"
His daily mail, he asserted, re-
fleets such German scheming." be-
cause letters come from families
who are worrying about their boys
in the Army, who have been led to
believe, for instance, that the SOL
diers lack food, lack proper shelter
or medical attention. They come
from members Of Congress who have
been similarly misled."

He recalled that popular interest
in Army matters, stirred by debate
on the draft extension bill, was at

THE debate was on, the criticisms

A nice handy little paragraph, Sec
ton 104 (A) stuck into a preliminary
chapter in small type where a man
would pay it only f1eeting attention.
This paragraph had been very handy
for the Boss in handling contractors
who forgot to be grateful for favors.
Didn't you see that?" the chief
inspector asked. "It's right there in
black and white. You should have
attended to that first thing. The old
original joists and studs aren't code
for an apartment house. What are you
trying to get by with, Greer?"

Greer seemed to shrink somehow,
so that all his age and WEAKNESS from
his long job was evident. The inspec-
tor turned his eyes away uncomfort-
ably, but the Boss eyed Greer steadily.
Il it amt - right" Greer finally
said. Houses are remodeled all the

With bigger things on his mind, the
Boss could have forgotten the two
small sources of irritation that were
the sole remnants of the opposition -
except that the Boss wasn't man able
to forget such things. One irritant was
the former editor, Plym. Penniless
now, he was from somewhere receiving
backing to put out tiny weekly
paper attacking the machine with
facts and names and dates. The Boss
knew that facts and names and dates
never mattered with the voters. Fav-
ors counted, favors and force.
Then there was the man Greer.
Plym, after all, had right to squawk,
He'd been broken, thoroughly and
into small pieces, in that slow and
thorough way the machine had for
dealing with his type. All he could do
now was yell; but in way he had that
right. He'd been hurt. But the miser-
able worm, Greer. was just stubborn
nobody. Worse, this was personal
matter with the Boss.
Just wait, boys" he would say
with grin, concealing his irritation,
when somebody mentioned he hadn't
got that new hat. "I'm in no hurry"
And then he would wink, with prom

The Boss beamed. "Ah, yes! Yes,
indeed! Tell the chief Inspector I'll
take him to the place personally, in
my car
Greer was waiting, defiant but
proud.
Nice job, Greer" the Boss admit
ted, surveying the job. The gimcrack
had been knocked off the exterior of
the old house. and there was coat of
white stucco Bright green shutters
fianked the windows. A curving path
of broken concrete, salvaged from the
first foundation, led between sprout
ing lawn to the entrance. Bright as
button!' admitted the Boss heartily.
"And you won't find anything
wrong" Greer stated doggedly. 81
don't care how close you look. Every
stick and pipe and wire is according to
code"
I'm sure of it, the chief inspec-
tor said. but he didn't meet Greer's
eye. He was doing the Boss favor,

men went out
