WASHINGTON, July 17.-EveryI
one of the eight Nazi saboteurs
on trial before a military COM
in Washington has con-
fessed, it was learned today. that
they were ordered by the German
high command to initiate a reign
of terror in the United States by
b o mbing strategic industries,
transportation facilities and pub
lie assemblages.
The No. l objective of the sabo-
tours. who were landed on Amer
lean beaches by German sub
marines. was the destruction of
the light metal industry, inland
waterways. bridges and railroads,
including the main line tracks en-
tering the towering Union Ter
minal Building in Cleveland.
RUSH HOUR PLOTS
After accomplishing this pro-
gram, the Nazi saboteurs admit
ted. il was learned, that they
planned to put delayed-action
bombs made of TINT in depart
ment stores. hotels and train and
bus stations, timing them to 20
|off at rush hours in an effort TO
panic the public. Hundreds of per-
sons might have been killed or
manned if the saboteurs had not
been caught.
On a table in the trial room
were the diabolical weapons of
death which the saboteurs brought
with them when they were landed
on the Long Island and Florida
beaches by the U-boats. The de-
vices were placed in evidence as
exhibits.
They included one decorating
cap to set off TINT. which could
be used to cause an explosion Ia
days after a bomb was planted.
With it the saboteurs could have
placed explosives in a factory
which would not have exploded
until a full two weeks later.
LONG PREPARATIONS
The spies. it was said. planned
a number of simultaneous ex.
plosions to confuse police. ant
then start the reign OF terror
against the public.
At the time of their arrests
the FBI announced briefly that
the spies had plotted TO blow uI

Orders IA Consulates
in This Country Closed
Before August |
by H. o. THOMPSON
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE
United States. In addition to can
ceiling consular representation
with Finland. has restricted fur
ther the movements OF Finnish
Minister Hjalmar Procope and his
staff, Il was learned today.
Procope has been advised that
he and members of his legation
must obtain permission from the
state department to travel in the
United States. II was indicated
that such permission would be in
creasingly difficult for them to OBJ
tain.
That action emphasized the
formal announcement last night
by the state department that all
American consular activities In
Finland would be suspended and
the order to Finland to close its
IA consulates in this country by
August ].
STRONGEST STEP
After months of cautious hand
ding of relations with Finland, the
only nation to pay its World War
i debt instruments on time and ir
full. the United States took its
strongest step thus far in express
ing Sharp disapproval Of Finland's
subservience to Axis pressure.
Some restrictions were imposed
upon Procope and his staff last
Christmas when the Firms, under
German influence. curtailed the
movements of American diplomats
in Finland. The new restrictions
will be more severe, however. and
will leave no doubt that the
United States will deal firmly with
Finland from now on.
Great Britain has declared war
upon Finland. But the United
States, even thought IL declared
war upon Bulgaria. Rumania and
Hungary, has refrained from
breaking with Finland
GRAVE IMPLICATIONS
The cancellation of the consular
representation, reminiscent OF the
expulsion OF Italian and German
consular officials months befors
going to war with those countries
holds grave implications for thu
future OF relations with Finland
The meeting of Finnish Field
Marshal Carl Gustaf Manner
Iheim with Adolf Hitler. and thu
recent report of a high Finnish
honor bestowed upon Emperor
Hirohito of Japan were illustrative
of recent Axis tendencies offFin
Hand.
Secretary of State Cordell HUI
said last November II that he hat
informed Procope that the rea
issue was whether the Firms shall
over and above necessary defenss
requirements, furnish extremel,
valuable aid to the Germans In
their efforts to blockade the ship
lment OF American and British sup
piles to Russia.

key aluminium plants, railroads,
river locks and bridges. But the
confessions disclosed the full de-
tails of the scheme and told how
the German high command had
worked for months to prepare it.
In Germany the eight spies at
tended a special sabotage school
near Berlin. According to the
stories repeatedly told in their
confessions. they were taken or
field trips and taught how to ex-
plode TINT.
German architects and struc-
tural engineers also instructed
them how TO dynamite bridges
by placing their explosives under
|girders carrying the creates,
stress rather than under re-
enforced concrete abuttments.
THOROUGH LESSON
The instructions. II was learned
were so thorough that the Ger
man high command suggested
that the potted palms in hotel
Hobbies and department stores
would be good place to hide ex.
Iplosives.
The high command also gave the
Isaboteurs detailed orders on their
movements in the United States
Four of the saboteurs landed or
Long Island June ID, and the other
four on the Florida shore June II
Under the orders they carried
the spies, all OF whom had lived
in this country previously. were tc

themselves" into community life In

up their old methods of life in the
United States.
ZERO HOUR JULY
Then, according to their reported
statements, the eight saboteurs
were to meet at yet undiscloseC
lplGce on July 4. They apparent,

Independence Day traffic which

One. report said pickets threat,
cned TO toss bricks through a
Woodward avenue bus window
unless the driver stopped.
Nolan said the trouble started
at 3 a. m, as the minority group
apparently attempted to m k e
good its threat to strike at mid
night. Pickets clustered about all
Of the barns until about 3 a. m,
he said. when they began circulat-
ing through the city to stop buses.
This morning we moved out
all equipment we had men. for"
Nolan said. "But we were about
25 per cent short on bus service.
Our street car service WAS
normal"
BLAME YOUNG DRIVERS
/ Nolan blamed the younger driv-
erS for the strike. pointing out that
the older men on street cars re-
fused TO join in the strike threat
when il was voted last Tuesday in
special union meeting.
Nolan received reports later to-
day that rowing bands of wildcat
tiers were unloading buses at three
points on Grand River avenue-at
Seven Mile road, Lahser road and
lSchaefer. The intersection of
Grand River and Schaefer road is
within 200 feet of the Schaefer
police station.
There h no use To call .
commission meeting" Nolan
declared. This strike In illegal
and has been completely repudi-
ated by the mems own leaders,
IFS strictly a police matter
now
CALLS SHIFT EARLY
Nolan met with Commission
President Samuel It. Gilbert, how
over. and ordered the afternoon
shifts at some barns TO report
early in an attempt to avert a
shortage in transportation during
the rush hour.
Two striking bus drivers were
reported TO have seized a passen-
geEx loaded bus at John r and
Manchester avenues.
One of the strikers took over
the drivers seat and was last seen
speeding north on John r. The
number of the vehicle was 2239.
Nolan said he did not know
what disciplinary action could be
taken until additional facts were
available.
Apparently, however, the
opinions Of the $50 men are at
odds with those OF the other
1900 employed by the SYSTEM"
he said.
GOES BACK TO APRIL

for streetcar operators and from
