from defense factory and water
front, power plant and oil field, but
watchful soldiers, police and civil
ians continued an alert patrol
against any hint of the sabotage

had predicted for Memorial Day.
The guards were called to duty

as result of telephoned warnings
from the Federal Bureau Of Investi-
CATION. But the only reported result
was the arrest of man caught
crawling through a fence at an
ordnance plant in Milan, Tenn.
Military officers did not comment
on the source Of orders for the
alert, but civilian authorities in sew
eral communities said the F. B. I.
had recommended extraordinary
vigilance during the holiday week
end. Many defense factories were
closed for the holiday period, but
the patrols were not confined to
such premises.
Report "Outside Government"
A Treasury Department official
said the Coast Guard and customs
agents had been put on the alert on
the basis of report from outside
the Government" that there was
danger of sabotage generally on
boats, docks and other shipping IA
cilities this week end. He said SINH
lar reports had come in from time
to time and that "alerts" had been
ordered but nothing had developed.
A 2. B. I. warning Of expected
trouble" caused officials of the
Engineering Research Co. at River
dale, Nd, which holds an undls"
closed number of defense contracts
for manufacture of airplane en-
gines and gun turrets, TO double
the guards.
The plant, employing from 800
to 500 men, manufactures a small
commercial plane suitable for
training purposes, in addition to
numerous parts for military air.
craft.
Bridges Guarded.

guards on the International Bridge
at Laredo, Tex, and the Delaware
River Bridge at Philadelphia; Wis
itors were barred from the Lake
Washington ship canal in Seattle,
naval vessels augmented the har-
Dor patrol at New London, Conn
and armed guards watched the
Huntington Beach oil fields In
Southern California.
Other strategic points where
vigil was maintained included:
Aircraft factories in Southern
California and the New York
metropolitan area, oil storage de-
pots in Jacksonville, Fla, and
Corpus Christi, Tex: the Baldwin
Locomotive Works and the Navy
Yard in Philadelphia. the Navy
submarine base and the Electric
