that particular field and whose
transfer can be arranged.
Thousands Of Machines Idle.
Yesterday, the o. p. M. received
a report from the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers that re-
vealed thousands of idle machines
in small and medium sized" indus
trial plants available for defense
work.
OF 14,O77 plants registered by the
association in preparedness
through-production survey" 1894
were said to be already doing some
defense wrk. 2,915 had unused floor
space and 4.881 were ready to install
equipment for defense production.
In 14,077 plants. 434,159 machines
of various kinds were available for
work and $4,000 of these were idle
over 100000 hours during a "a
hour period, it was said.
The report was delivered to Mr..
Knudsen by Walter D. Fuller, presi-
dent of the association.
Auto Plants Help Air Effort.
At his press conference the Presi-
dent was asked whether plans were
being considered to speed up plane
production by increased use of auto
mobile plants. He replied that
such efforts have been made for
several months. The idea, he said,
was to have the automakers turn
out something, and where they
could not turn out planes they pro-
duce parts for them.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he could not
supply any figures when asked
whether the present aim was to
have plane and auto factories turn
out five hundred 4-engined bombers
a month.
Essential Professions Guarded.
On the question of relaxing draft
requirements, Mr.. Roosevelt said
that it seemed obvious that men
qualified or learning to become doc
tors or engineers, for example
should not be turned into infantry
men. These professions are essen
tial to defense, he explained, and
the flow of young men into them
should be maintained.
He added with a smile that lawyers
like himself and newspapermen like
those attending his conference prob
ably would not be considered essen
tial to the Nations defense in their
present professions.
Asked about the cases Of qualified
machine operators or other skilled
men who already have been taken
into the Army, the President said

 NAzI POWER

New German Ediet May Mean Reign of Ter
 TOT for Norge

OSLO, Augb 4. The German Commissioner in Norway has been empowered to declare a state of emergency in Norway, under which he will deal with any alleged dis turbances, maintain public order and the security of public life.
 There is no indication in official announcements whether the Reich's Commissioner Terboven intends to make use of his new powers soon.
 Under his new authorization, Ger man authorities in Norway will be enabled to conduct summary hear ings of persons accused of creating disturbances. Sentences which then might be promptly executed will in- clude death or Imprisonment and the confiscation of property of ac- cused persons.
 Stockholm newspapers report a state of civil siege is already being put into effect in Norway. Berlin denied this, however, announcing that Terboven is empowered to de- cree it but no action has been taken.
 Civil siege, the Nazis declared, would be more effective than mili- tary state in Norway. The siege would virtually affect all occupied territories. it was explained official ly. The move is a precautionary legal step taken because of recent events brought about by the devel- opment of the foreign political sit uation, they said.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-Not even in pulp fiction have more melo- dramatic stories been written than that between the lines of a com paratively dry legal document of B persons and the naming of 37 more in which Chief G-Man John Edgar Hoover has described as the greatest spy ring in the his- tory of the U. s.
 Some of the story cannot be written now. Only eight at this writing are pleading guilty (seven persons who pleaded guilty to preliminary charges changed their pleas to mot guilty when ar
 aigned on the indictment). Eight guilty persons make a sizable spy ing in anybody's country (The others are presumed innocent.)
 Some of the story may never be told, for it is simple reasoning
 hat unless the Federal Bureau of Investigation has to reveal every card in its hand to clinch the case, tt will withhold any newly devel- oped methods of counter -espion- age used here.
 But that doesn't mean that the
 inside story" of this ring isn't already there or that most of it cannot now be now be related.

Military Forces Reported Landing on Siber-

(By Associated Press)

Japan today took ominous new steps in the Far East crisis with the suspension of all direct steam ship service to the United States, leaving about 600 American citizens stranded in the island empire.
 Simultaneously the Japan Times Advertiser, organ of the Tokyo For eign Office. said the Japanese gov- ernment will shortly invoke conn plete economic mobilization to cope with the United States and British economic pressure.
 Prepare for Dash
 While steamship departures were suddenly cancelled. two big Japan csc liners in United States West Coast ports prepared for a speedy dash home.
 At San Francisco the $15,0o0.00 Tatuta Maru discharged the last of her $3,500,000 cargo of raw silk as emergency longshore crews, working around the clock, rushed aboard a thousand barrels of fuel oil and bal last cargo in preparation for leav- ing the Pacific Coast bound for Japan.
 A Japanese tanker previously sail- ed from San Francisco empty, the second to leave the U. s. without cargo. A
 At Seattle the Heian Maru also piled raw silk on the docks and was posted to sail as soon as loaded. At sea the Asama Maru, which left Honolulu Friday with 140 Am- erican passengers and a 5000 900 cargo of raw silk, maintained radio silence as a result of orders from Tokyo.
 Americans Stranded
 Dispatches from the Far East said the departures of the Hikawa Maru. the Nitta Maru and other Japanese ships scheduled to sail to the United States have been postponed indef- initely. Passengers on board the Nitta Maru enroute from China ports to San Francisco. were taken off in quarantine when the liner arrived in Kobe.

 FISHING AREAS
Charge of Monopoly in AL aska Is Refuted by
 Court of Appeals

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The United States Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia ruled today that the War and Interior Department may desig- nate certain Alaskan waters as fishing areas.
 Wilbur Dow and Jack Gil- bert, both of Seattle, sought the district court to enjOin Secre- tary of the Interior Harold l.. Ickes and Secretary of War Henry l.. Stimson from enfOrc- ing certain regulations prOmul- gated in the action. l
 The dismissed suit was taken to the Court of Appeals where Dow and Gilbert cOntended in separate suits that the Interior Department violated law in regulations for application for fish trapping. that the War Department refuses to issue more than enc permit for the erection of traps in any given site, and in effect government regulations create a monopoly on trap fishing in the Aleutian Peninsula and Western Alaska waters.
 The governments attorney main aimed there was no legal basis flo he action and said the complain showed no act of the secretarie which would prevent the exercis of the common right for fishinl within legal limits of the law. Th' law, he said, does not control th' discretion which cabinet officer may exercise in the matter.

WASHINGTON-On three differ ent and historic occasions Franklin Roosevelt has been elected President of the United States despite the vitriolic opposition of Big Business and on a Democratic platform which featured attacks on Big Business.
 Yet today, the Roosevelt Admin istration and Big Business are walk ing hand-in-hand as far as the De- fense program is concerned, while the little fellow looks on ruefully from the side-lines. The Brandeis theory that this nation prospers most when business is broken into small parcels scattered over the country still exists but only in theory. In practice, the big con- tractor, the big engineering firm, the big munitions company gets the gov- ernment job, almost every time.
 Thus the Roosevelt Administra- tion now finds itself in the unique position of having awarded one third of all Army Navy expenditures during the past year to exactly six firms: Bethlehem Steel, New York Shipbuilding, General Motors, du- Pont. Newport News Shipbuilding' and Curtiss- Wright.
 These six firms were given con- fro cfc fofo 1Iit,n moo rlu tan billion dollars.
 Some of this concentration of orders is necessary, because these are specialized firms. Much of it, on the other hand, is unnecessary but comes about because the big companies have their close friends in the Army and Navy, with whom they have done business for years. In the contracting field, for in- stance, half dozen big building
