Nazis Expected 10 Try
10 Land More Agents
In j. ). as Saboieurs
All Passenger Lists
Being Closely Checked
For Axis Suspects
BY OLIVER MCKEE.

Despite the disclosure OF the effec-
tiveness Of our defenses. as evidenced
by the apprehension of the eight
Nazi saboteurs recently tried by the
military commission, the German
high command is expected to make
other attempts to send agents to
this country with orders to destroy
vital war industries and gather valu-
able military information.
This is the belief of Federal off,
cials responsible for the Nations
internal security. AS war produc-
tion increases and our military
power expands the Nazis will have
en- even stronger incentive, they
point out, both to sabotage in
dustrial plants and obtain as much
data Is they can on our military
plans and the disposition Of our
armed forces.
Before Pearl Harbor the Nazis
seemed chiefly interested In securing
through their agents here informa-
tion on the general progress of our
war production program. Recently
they have been seeking more spe-
cialized information, for example,
details Of individual United States
weapons, production of food and the
amount of food shipments to the
United Nations, the strength of our
beach and coastal patrol, movement
Of troops and conveys.
Spy System Dealt Blows,
As result OF the activities Of the
EBI and the Army and Navy In
telligence the Naz espionage set
up in this country has been dealt a
series Of smashing blows. Many Of
Hitler's agents have been taken into
custody and the identity Of others
Is believed to be known. 1t is logical
to assume, therefore, that Berlin will
make every effort to rebuild its
espionage system IN the United
States.
German agents might reach this
country in any one Of several ways,
It is pointed out. The eight Nazis
whose fate now rests with the Presi-
dent, landed on our shores from
German submarines, and U boats
could similarly be used to transport
other German agents to the United
States.
Parachutes offer another possible
means Of entry, with perhaps a
crash landing OF the Atlantic Coast
by prearranged plan, to permit the
crew Of the airplane after dropping
the parachuters, to find refuge on a
German submarine. Though q score
Or more reports Of parachute land
tnSs have been investigated, there
b no evidence, 50 far, that Nazi spies
q saboteurs have reached this
country In this way.
