Foreign Saboteurs
Baked by FB|,
Hoover Aide Says
John }. Mcguire
Addresses Luncheon
Of Bourd of Trade

There has been no inspired
sabotage in American industry since
the outbreak of the war. John j.
Mcclure, administrative assistant to
j. Edgar Hoover, director of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, de-
clared yesterday.
Speaking at a monthly luncheon
of the Public Order Committee of
the Washington Board of Trade in
the Harrington Hotel. Mr.. MCGUIRE
said investigation had revealed that
all cases first reported as foreign
sabotage have been due to grudges,
spite, carelessness or industrial ac-
cidents."
How Spy Was Captured.
Mr.. Mcclure discussed the FBI's
plant security program and empha-
sized the Importance of civilian CO.
operation in apprehending spies and
saboteurs. In this connection, he
told how an alert citizen brought
about the arrest of a japanese Navy
commander by informing the FBI
of having witnessed the transfer of
papers on District park bench.
The papers turned out to be import
ant naval documents. which the
japanese commander had purchased
from a Navy Department employe
for sl00, he said.
The speaker also told how an eye
witness account of Washington
automobile accident had led to
breaking up spy ring. Acting on
information received, the FBI ar
rested a man who had taken a brief
case from the hands of the traffic
victim. The dead man turned out
to be member of the Nazi Ge4tapo,
Mr.. MCGUIRE asserted.
In discussing crime, Mr.. Mcguire
told Of a shocking increase in
crime among juveniles. Boys under
2l, he said. committed Is per cent
of the murders in this country in
1912. So per cent of the automobile
thefts and so per cent of the rob-
berries. Among girls under 81 there
was an increase during the year of
l06 per cent in sex crimes and Of
fenses against decency, he said. Mr..
MCGUIRE said England had solved
the problem of juvenile crime, which
he attributed to lowering of morals
due to the war. and expressed hope
the problem will be solved in this
country.
Bank Robberies Decreased.
Mr.. MCGUIRE described bank
robbing as ''defunct business" as
serting there was a total of only 48
bank robberies throughout the Ma
ton in 1912. OF 1923 kidna ping
cases since the kidnapping of the
Lindbereh baby, all but two have
been solved and the guilty parties
convicted. he said.
District Commissioner Young and
Fire Chief Stephen T. Porter
thanked the committee for securing
40 trucks, to be mounted with fire-
lighting equipment and used by
auxiliary flremen in the event of
an air raid. The trucks were loaned
by Is business firms and will be dis
tributed among auxiliary fire sta
tions. Mr.. MCGUIRE joined in prais-
ing the committee for its patriotism.

small farm in nearby Maryland is
inclined these days to look with con-

Jewish War Dead
Honored in Pageant,
We Will Never Die
Distinguished Audience
Sees Presentation by
Cast of 300

"They shall never die, though they
are slain with no weapons in their
hands; their souls remain in the
world"
Thus dedicated to the 100000
Jewish dead in this war, a cast of
300 Jewish actors, comprised of more
than 275 volunteers from the Dis
trict and score Of prominent Broad
way and Hollywood stars, last night
presented I'VE Will Never Die in
Constitution Hall before an audience
headed by cabinet members, Supreme
Court justices, diplomats and legisla-
tors.
Among those in the cast were Paul
NUM-, Luther Adler. Sylvia Sidney,
Edward G. Robinson. Jacob Ben
Ami and Kurt Baum Written by
Ben Hecht. staged by Billy Rose, di-
rected by Moss Hart. the pageant
brought rounds of applause from the
packed house.
Soldier Role Portrayed.
The show was divided into three
parts. The first called the roll of IL
lustrious Jews throughout the history
Of the world. the second showed the
part played in the war by Jewish SOL
diers in every United Nations army,
the third pictured the cheapest
corpses in history asking to be re-
sniembered ~ the peace corference.
+ Opening the pageant witha classic.
Hebrew Listen, Israel, God
is our God God is One"-Mr. Ben
Ami struck the militant note of the
evening.
"Jews have died as one child on
one bayonet. We are not here to
weep but to break the silence which
condones the slaughter. America is
is the David against the German
Goliath"
From the script which Mr. Hecht
wrote in one week to break the
silence of the Jews themselves and
that issuing from the chambers Of
justice within our call" narrators
described Jewish deeds great
enough for pride, many enough to
count" A roll call of United Ma
tions was dramatized by the actors
on the mammoth stage, whose
background was the tablets on
which were written the Ten Com
mandments.
The motive of the pageant was to
open a second front, but 'one of
the human spirit against a mas
sacre," in the words of Peter H.
Bergson, national director of the
Committee for a Jewish Army of
Stateless and Palestinian Jews.
Wants Jewish Army.
1--WE want the right to have a
Jewish army and the right to lead
our brethren to their rightful haven,
Palestine. All other places are
closed to our race" he said. "A
moral thunder which will give tongue
to the four freedoms will issue
from America if this pageant is
success"
The evening was closed by an
address by Senator johnson, Demo-
crat, of Colorado. Among those
present were Mrs. Roosevelt, Chief
Justice Stone, Secretary Knox, Jesse
Jones, Associate Justices Douglas,
Frankfurter, Reed and Rutledge,
and over $50 Representatives and
As Senators, as well as high Army
and Navy officials and delegates
from over 80 nations.

of Europe were present and joined
