Warren'S testimony before the

was sensational.
California is the most likely OBJ
jectlve for the first blow Warren
said Such a blow here could do
more to hinder the war effort of
the nation than the dastardlH at
tack on Pearl Harbor.
SABOTAGE PLANNED
If We think sabotage has not
been planned for US. We are living
in a fools paradise The most con-
yincing proof of a real plan is the
fact that We have had no sabotage
Yet. That is the most ominous sign.
We have been lulled into a false

COMPLAINT VOICED
He complained the federal de-
partment OF justice had failed to
provide the state and cities with
The names OF enemy aliens who
registered last year. This failure, he
indicated, had hampered the state
work CT finding out where the
aliens own land.
Warren said California was es-
pecially vulnerable TO ATTACK be-
cause of its size, the number Of its
military bases; its geographical pO-
sition; its numerous defense indus :
tries; the fire hazard created by
its forests. climate and predomi-
nance OF frame construction; and
finally the large number Of enemy
aliens residing within the state.
Warren testified at the first SeS-
sion OF the committee inyestiga-
ton OF the alien evacuation prob

coast cities before the congressman
