cIores there is no intention to interfere
with the lives Of the great mass Of

non1ic life.
But there is increased safety for the
loyal in the foct that the Army will
take from civiIion hands the preven-
ton Of subVersive activities. 1t is we'll
that the control will apply to injurious
action by "ony enemy synpothizer,

is obvious that loyalty to the ideals Of

there will be seIective removal of

Of the Federal Bureau Of Investigation

The second point which the

When prices are rising rop-

activities of a German counter

A native Of Dusseldorf, where he
was agent for an Italian silk
firm, s. X. slips into tia when
he becomes suspect for obtaining
re. eases Of concentration camp

He contacts the antiFascist UNI

He is arrested by the Qucstura
(thc poliCe), told he would be
shot next morning But this is a
test. The Questura men are
themselves connected with the
underground.
He learns that the Fascist
party is shot through clear to
the top with underground agents,
that the country is in a state of
incipient civil war, that sabotage
is rife, one explosion having
taken care of the buried oil re-

The Gestapo is out to get him
