sufficiently strong to damage
property. Windstorm insurance
is relatively inexpensive; it
usually costs much less than
fire insurance, and wind is
hazard which cannot be pre-

The peace of mind afforded

Admits Planes Damaged at Glenn Marlin Ball.
 fimore Factory

BALTIMORE, Oct. %. E. A. Soucy, Special Agent in charge of the Baltimore bureau of the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation today announced the arrest of Michael William Etzel, g, for what Soucy said was an admitted sabotage plot against airplanes in the Glenn Mar tin Airplane Company plant where Etzel has been empoyed since Aug ust, 1889.
 Soucy said Etzel made statement to the FBI and company officials, saying:
 T feel the German people are all right and everything is the fault of the German government. not the people themselves. I didn't want these planes we are making at the Martin plant to be used against the German people, so I damaged the ships"
 Saucy declared Etzels is the first such case in this vital defense area and said his implication was the "outgrowth' of a check being made to determine the identity of the individual responsible for a card board, bearing blue and red penciled lettering reading "Heil Hitler!' which was found in B-26 bomber.

Juneau's 150 Civic Defense Guardsmen were at their posts and watchful against acts of sabotage within nine minutes after the AL aska Juneau mine siren last night sounded it's shrill signal of the firs. drill of the home guard unit.

 After the last sergeant in the city's 32 defense districts had called central last night and re- ported everything in readiness for his district, Metcalf allowed five minutes for the men to walk their beats, then gave the signal for the "all clear" blast from the mine siren, just IA minutes after the emergency call had been sounded.
 Expected Black-Ou
 Some misunderstanding were re- ported in a few sections of the city, despite the fact that the time and nature of the first drill had been publicized for the past week, Although no mention was ever made of a practice black out" in connection with the drill, in some neighborhoods lights were extin- guished by citizens who apparent ly believed they should cooperate in this way.
 When the siren first sounded, several persons called the tele- phone office asking if there was Q big fire at Douglas, and saying that they had not heard of the scheduled civic defense drill.
 The fact that the time for the drill had been set in advance for 6:45 pm. defeated the purpose of the maneuver in some cases, ac- cording to Metcalf In one district, he reported. the squad members had anticipated the siren blast and were at their posts awaiting the start of the drill.
