Trained

~ abandoned it's factory at Oranienburg,
4 = a little town not far from Berlin which
is famous for its concentration camp. This
factory was only one of many that were
owned and operated by the Auer concern.
Still, it seemed strange to the inhabitants Of
the little town that the factory should be
closed down 50 suddenly. For just at that
time Auer was busy manufacturing millions
of gas masks.
But there was something even stranger
about the affair Not only was the factory
shut down, but it was left practically intact
The 1900 workers and the office personnel
moved out. But the machinery, the boiler
room, the laboratories were left untouched
A short while later, some SO relatively
Young men moved into this ghost factory.
The third floor was made into living quarters,
and the Offices became classrooms where
those so young men began to attend lectures
At about the same time, strange little toys
began to arrive, and they were set up in the
courtyard There were miniature bridges,
miniature railway tracks, switches. functions,
power stations, etc. Furthermore, many new
full-sized machines arrived and were set up
in the machine shops.
The entrances to the factory were locked
and closely guarded. No one without special
permit was allowed to enter. No one was
allowed to leave.
But it wasn't a concentration camp, or
prison. This was school for saboteurs,
created bv the Nazi Naval Intelligence.
Other schools for saboteurs were set up in
different parts of Germany, for instance IN
Hanover, in Halverstadt, in Brunswick, and
in Buckow (near Berlin). Oranienbug, how
ever, was the biggest and the most important
and probably still is.
Planned Paaic
HERE, under the leadership of Commander
Schmolinske, number of professors and an
even greater number of technical instructors
acted as sabotage teachers. The machine
shops and the chemical Laboratories were, Of
course, used for experiments Every pupil
had to learn how to destroy various kinds Of
machines, how to cause different kinds OF ex-
plosions how to derail trains, how to create
panic and confusion, etc. All this was care
fully rehearsed over and over again. The
would-be saboteurs not only had to learn
how to accomplish such tasks, but also
how to accomplish them in the shortest
possible time. They were timed by instruc-
tors with stop watches. They also had to 90
through special course of behavior" de-
signed to make it easier for them to melt into
the crowd once they were abroad In short,
nothing was left to chance. Everything was
foreseen and calculated
This, then. was the preparation and mobi-
ization for the war of sabotage which Hitler
intended to launch upon the world in general
and against the United States in particular.
Though German sabotage plans are pre-
pared by both the Naval Intelligence depart
ment and the Military Intelligence depart
ment, the Navy plays much bigger role IN
directing it. The Army merely trains demo-
lition squads for sabotage work in the combat
area, while Naval Intelligence is in charge

Soviet Union Is Seen
Losing All Faith in
japanese Propaganda
Russion Magazine
Cites PotentiuI Power
Of u. S. and Britoin
BY the Associated Press.

BY TIC Associated fISSS-
KUIBYSHEV. Jan. "a. - The
abundantly sown seed of japanese
propaganda against the United
States and Britain is falling on un-
fertile soil in the Soviet Union and
observers are watching closely for
the signs of a change in the trend
of Russia's relations with Japan.
Although showered with Japan
ese circulars filed with ambitious
claims, the Russians and their press
are showing marked sympathy for
the Americans and British, as well
as confidence in their ultimate vic
tory.
For one unofhcial barometer Of
the trend between Russia and
Japan, observers are keeping an
eye on Japanese Ambassador
YoshitSugu Tatekawas negotiations
for a renewal of the Soviet-Japan-
ese fisheries pact.
The agreement. which gives Japan
certain fishing rights in waters OIL
the Siberian coast. expired Decem-
ber 81 and there has been no an
nouncement of its renewal, which in
the past has come in id-January.
japanese claims Of Pacific naval
victories apparently have had little
effect on the trend Of Russian
thought.
In the latest issue of the Maya
zine. Bolshevik. an article by l..
YermaShev. widely read Soviet
naval commentator, said Japan is
building 5000 to 5000 planes a
year-and added that Britain and
the United States together produce
that many each month.
The main problem of the present
war in the Pacific" the article said,
"is the problem of military and
economic potentialities Of the bel
ligerents. In the long run the course
and outcome of the hostilities de-
pends on economic strength and
ability to bear continued economic
strain
The United States and Great
Britain have everything necessary
for protracted. tense war. They
have only to win time to set in
motion their enormous war poten-
tialities.
Thus" the article concluded. I'VE
see that the belligerents are in an
unequal position. Japan is forced to
hasten and by all means prefers
the smashing strategy or 'blitz'
Hitler strategy which has gone
bankrupt in the war against the
Soviet Union 49,"

British Smash Back
AT Counterattack OF
Germans in Libyd
Nozis Apparently Hit
At Supply Depots
Set Up in Desert
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CAIRO, Jan. 24.-Mobile columns
of the British 9Th army smashed
tonight at the counterattacking
forces Of Nazi Gen. Erwin Ronmel
in hard and sprawling battle Of
taEks on the eastern side Of the
Cirenaican desert hump.
The engagement was on battle
field of great size, in a triangle
bounded by Agedabia, Saunnu, A
miles to the east. and Antelat, 80
miles to the north.
British Near East headquarters
was without word of precise results,
but felt able to report that the
strong r. A. F. forces in the desert
had done great execution" in the
bombing and straf1ng assaults on
the enemy's mechanical transports
all around Agedabia.
Using Several Columns.
Gen. Rommel's force was split in
several columns, each with tanks.
His immediate objection appeared
to be destruction of the big depots
of supply which the British are
said to have established in the pres
ent battle area as a preliminary to
continuation of their general drive
on Tripolitania.
Gen. Rommel began his eastward
thrust Wednesday, and the forces
which he now is deploying at Age
dabia have covered some lbs miles
from their Gulf of Sirte base at FL
Agheila. British forward troops
withdrew Thursday from Agedabia,
and the fighting now is in an area
somewhat more than 80 miles below
British-held Bengasi.
While the Nazi general obviously
has received appreciable reinforce
ment in air power, man power and
probably tank power, his supply
condition probably does not COM
pare with that of the British.
r. A. F. Hits TripoIi.
In addition to it's own ample stores
the 9th Army captured enormous
amounts of supplies from the Axis
during its 400-mile advance west
ward. Against this is the factor Of
the long British lines of communi-
cation through Egypt and eastern
Libya, but steps TO ease this posi-
ton have been taken recently.

ply port, and communique said
