WASHINGTON, July 11-(R
limited States defense officials,
determined to end leakage of
American goods to Germany,
were reported giving serious con-
sideration today to the compile
ton of a worldwide list of firms
which serve as Nazi purchasing
agents.
The British are know to have
Blacklist" as such listings are
called when prepared by bellig-
erent governments. and presum-
able this information has been
made available to American Of
ficials for such use as they de-
sire.
INVENTORY MADE
Other sources of information
understood to be at the disposal
of Brig. Gen. Russell l.. Max
well, export control chief, in
clude an inventory being made
by the Treasury of Foreign AS
sets frozen in this country and
data on Nazi activities in South
America gathered by the office
OF commercial and cultural rela-
tons between the American Re-
publics.
The extent to which American
manufactured supplies and raw
materials-steel, oil and the
like-may now be reaching
Germany was not ascertainable.
Several factors, However, lead
officials to believe that the flow
has been greatly curtailed.
In the first place, the hostili-
ties between the Reich and Rus
STA has had the effect of closing
the Siberian back-door route for
supplies to Germany. Further
more, the United States has i'm
posed export restrictions on most
militarily valuable supplies In
recent months, and simultane-
ously has been waging virtual
economic warfare on suspected
axis agents in South America.
TO PLUG LEAKS
If any further leaks are to be
plugged, the next step was be-
lieved to be the preparation of
master list, which would pro-
vide a guide for all interested
government departments, and
also give exporters an index en-
abling them to determine what
firms to deal with.
At the same time, this and
other steps were described as
representing in some respects an
expansion of the governments
export control policy. Hereto
fore the primary purpose of that
policy has been to keep in the
United States all materials re-
quired for defense production.
Now the indication is that there
is rapidly being added the speci-
fic purpose of preventing any
American exports from falling
into the hands of firms which
would forward them to Ger
many.
Possibly the most progress
along this line to date, according
to all indications, has been made
in South America where several
countries have set up restrictions
of their own to prevent export
of the vital United States ma
terials reported reaching them in
large quantities.
CONTROL SYSTEMS
Countries agreeing to estab-
lish their own control systems
receive blanket licenses to obtain
supplies in this country, and,
due to that economic encourage
ment, the number of those hav-
ing such tystems is expected to
grow rapidly.
Another aspect of the eco
nomic situation in South Amer
lea, was reported on today by
Nelson Rockefeller, coordinator
of relations with the American
Republics, who started q drive
several months ago to have

LETTER FROM MAURICE

letter written to home folks from
Maurice O. Hanlin, Troop B, 1s1
Trg. Squadron, 3rd Platoon, Cavalry
Replacement Center, Fort Riley
Kansas, May 81, 1941, Saturday
S:45 p. m Part of the letter which
| is more or less of a personal nature
| is omitted:
Dear Ones:-They have beer
/ crowding all the training possible
into the last few weeks. We just
started to wearing summer clothing
Monday. They certainly are com
Portable after wearing wool when it
was so hot. We would have been
wearing them before, but they
couldn't get them. We haven't been
on any maneuvers yet. We will not
go on any while we are here, only
for about two days.
One day this week we will start
on our horses at five O'Clock in the
morning and ride all day and uI
until midnight We are not used
to riding more than three or four
hours at one time, so | expect ii
will be hard on us, but it will be
fun, and We may as well get used to
it for when we go to our regiment
we will ride longer than that. We
will probably have about a three
months maneuver in our next camp
We will sleep outside all the time
take care of our own horses, and
by the way, cavalrymans horse
comes first, because, without horse
he is lost He feeds, waters and
grooms his horse before he tries
to make himself comfortable.
When we go on this little jaunt
we will carry our pack, which con-
sists of tent, a mess kit, blanket
raincoat, shaving equipment, and
one change underwear. That is all
we are allowed to carry. Then we
have our rife in a rifle-boot, which
straps on the side of the saddle. We
make this pack, or cantle roll
which is the right name for it, in a
special way, and strap them on the
saddle. We can make one and put
it on the saddle in the dark.
When on maneuvers, we assume
that we are under enemy Observa-
tion at all times and practice the
safety rules, of which there are
many. Most of them is just using
common sense, but without some OF
them being called to your atten-
ton you wouldn't think of them. Al
times when we camp at night, an air
photograph will be taken of the
area in which we are camped. II
there is anything in the photograph
that gives our position away, We
have to break camp. There are
many ways of giving yourself away
An expert looking at photograph
of a field where truck had passed
through, could detect it, even when
you would hardly notice it, stand
ing on the ground. These are the
things we practice and find our mis-
takes.
Ever since we came here we have
carried our rifles everywhere we go,
whether we marched on foot, or
mounted. At first they were heavy,
and bothered us; now they are al
most part of us. They weigh 10
pounds, but we forget we have them.
/ could write all night and not
tell you everything about the army.
I'll just have to save some until I
get home. 1t is being told around,
that we will leave here about the
9th, but don't know whether there
is anything to it or not. I must
close as it is about time for lights
out. Love to all, and write soon,
your son and brother, Maurice.
