RECORDS REMOVAL
lis PR0BED BY FBI|
Number of Personnel Records
of u. S. Workers Reported
Taken from Files

WASHINGTONN, Jan. 26. In
The Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton began an inquiry today into
the reported removal of a large
number of personnel records OF
government employees from the
civil service commission files.
Officials said the records carried
in minute detail the history, quail
fications, experience, %avocations,
physical description, age, salary
and other details of every govern
ment employe except the post Of
flee field force. 1t a reported,
they said, that hundreds had been
removed, copied by "a business
organization" and returned to the
commission offices.
The FBI acknowledged that it
had questioned two persons, but
declined to discuss the case be-
You'd that point.
1t was learned that one OF the
personnel records removed was
that of Clyde Tolson, assistant to
j. Edgar Hoover, director OF the
FBI.
The records were described by
Civil Service commission officials
as having military value inasmuch
as they were used for facilitating
the location of government work
ers with special qualifications who
could be used in the defense pro-
gram. 1t was understood, however,
that the borrowing" was con-
cerned with some business activity
of an advertising or credit nature.
The records were filled out by
around 700, 900 federal workers last
as part of a program for
building up a vast punch card
file by which the commission could
locate almost instantly a person
with virtually any combination of
qualifications which might be
needed. 5

Safe Driving Classes
Temporarily Suspended

The WPA safe driving school in
Wilmington has been closed tenn
porarily because two instructors
recently secured employment else
where, George W. Smith, state SUI
pervisor, said last night.
Smith said he was trying to To-
cate a new instructor who could
do the particular type of work re-
quired. The new man must be
certified by the WPA and receive
a brief period of training in pro-
cedures before he may begin &C
tual classroom work, he said.
Every effort will be made to re-
open the school here on Monday,
February 8, under the sponsorship
of the adult education department
of the WPA, the city and county,
and the state highway safety di-
vision. Those who were attending
the last class will be notified
through the press, he said. !

ISTANBUL PLANS
AIR RAID DRILL
Mock State of War Declared
By Authorities for Period
H. Of January 1881

1STANBUL, Turkey, Jan. 26.-CP
.-Istanbul, ages-old metropolis in the
strategic Bosporus-D ardanelles zone
Of European Turkey. has declared a
mock state of war Jan. 1881 for the
most extensive air raid drill this city
ever has experienced.
These preparations conceded today
with newspaper declarations that
Turkey not only would defend herself
against any direct Axis attack but
also would act at once against any
threat elsewhere in the Balkans.
In one case Germany was freely
accused Of planning a Balkan often
sive through Yugoslavia and Bull.
garia for an attack on Salonika.
Greece, to help relieve Italian forces
fighting the Greeks in Albania.
(This statement, if rejecting gov.
eminent policy, would represent IN
emphasized broadening of past decla.
rations of Turkeys policy of -, let
self-defense as a on-belligerent ally
of the British.)
In the mock air war, planes for the
first time will simulate attacks On
Istanbul, key point of the link be-
tween Europe and Asia Minor. Cit
zens will be forced to take cover
when sirens sound and all traffic, n
GLIDING trains, will be halted.

WAR INTERPRETIVE
Continued From Page One)

than has been officially pictured
There is reason to suspect that
the crisis foreseen within Sixty or
ninety days by Secretaries Slim
son and Knox has to do with snip
ping. Concern over the strength
of the British air force is mdcn
less than it once was and Eng.
lands land forces for home de-
tense have been whipped into a
formidable army.
1t is obvious that, as the London
man in the street suspects during
the winter lull in air and sea raids,
Hitler is up to no good" And it
appears increasingly inevitable
that the United States will be I'M
der mounting pressure to supply
cargo and warships, as in 1917.
Many months must pass before
the first of 200 cargo carriers the
British ordered in this country will
be ready. Not a rivet has been
driven in the equal number OF
standardized American vessels for
which the house has voted $780,
900, coo.
Meanwhile, as Cross noted, the
need for ships exceeds the unaided
capacity of Britain's yards. In 70
weeks of war, at least 400, DOC
tons of shipping of all flags has
gone down, equal to nearly a
fourth of the total British mer-
chant fleet at the start.
Figures for ships damaged are
significantly lacking. AS a posi-
BILE gauge, in n week during the
1917 U-boat crisis, 2,120, 900 tons
were under repair.
Convoy Setup Dropped
In New York shipping circles
there is a report that the convoy
system has been abandoned be-
cause of a dearth of warship es-
corts and that plodding cargo ships
now merely scatter W h they
reach the danger zone in the hope
of eluding torpedoes and bombs.
In Washington a top official ad-
wiser estimated privately that Brit
ain needed 400 %destroyers beyond
the SO acquired from the United
States.
Aside from a formidable a n d
growing fleet of submarines and
long range bombers able to oper-
ate far at sea from French coastal
bases, Germany is holding surface
raiders in leash to try to disperse
British naval strength during any
about bid for victory.
Sombre as the outlook appears
for Britain, her foe has ample
reason to be cautious. England
has surprised in a series of crises
that seemed desperate. The mag
netic mine was conquered, and the
Royal Air force came through. The
answer to the air raids on ship
ping may be air escorts already
being arranged, and some navy
strength may be transferred from
the Mediterranean at the cost Of
abandoning the offensive. l

won to his side the older, more
temperate leaders of the move
ment by his refusal to order the
RAINY to fire until the safety of
the nation vas imperiled.
These Guardists evidently were
impressed by confirmed reports
that while the rebels yer shoot
ing to kill, Antonescu's soldiers
had received orders to fire only at
legs When possible to avoid inflict-
ing death.
Churches we're thronged with Ru-
manians praying that peace will
be permanent in their country
which in the last year has suf-
fered from earthquake, dismem-
berment, terror and revolution.
Hundreds of Jews massacred in
the fierce outburst of hatred were
given mass funerals.
No Ceremonies
over Iron Guard youths who died
in the bloody attempt at coup
d'etat, however, no ceremonies
were permitted. The only conces-
sion allowed their relatives w a S
temporary opening of the Iron
Guard church where women in
black went to say silent prayers
for the victims.
Thirty Rumanian army officers
who were moved down by the
guns of what Antonescu's govern
ment called 'rebels, c%utthroats
and assassins" will be given a
solemn military funeral and burial
as national heroes tomorrow.
An undetermined number of SOL
diers also will be buried tomorrow.
The Municipal h o spital and
morgues still hold unclaimed dead.
Many are Iron Guardists whose
relatives hesitate to appear in pub
lie to identify them.
According to unconfirmed re-
ports some Iron Guard extremists
already have been arrested, tried
by court martial and put to death.
Iasinski Executed
Former Health Minister Iasinski
was among those reported exc
cuted under a new emergency law
exacting death of anyone found
with firearms. One version was
that he appeared at Antonescu's
office Friday declaring he wished
to see the dictator to pledge his
loyalty, that he was searched in
accordance with military pro-
cedure before being admitted and
that a revolver was found strapped
to his leg.
Others charged with having
made "inciting'' comment during
the height of the rebellion or of
having been among its ringleaders
were reported arrested or dead.
While calm reigned throughout
Rumania, Bucharest presented a
scene of striking contrast.
On the Calea Victoriei, bathed
in a warm sun, crowds prone
naded past hotels and smart shops.
Many had been hiding for months
in fear Of Iron Guard terrorism.
Some even knew they had been
on the Guards death list.
On a side street nearby stood
six trim looking tanks. In a va
cant lot, soldiers surveyed the
scene in readiness behind a piece
of field artillery. Infantrymen pa
trolled the streets, their eyes on
the massive apartment house from
which much of last weeks shipping
had come.
Streets which only a few days
ago were ringing necessarily with
