Sweden Is PLANNING
Summer Maneuyers
Nation Held Ready to
Fight if Necessary
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
STOCKHOLM, July GA Swedish
communique announced today that
military exercises will be conducted
this summer on the same extensive
scale as last spring and winter, with
the air force participating in the
concluding maneuver.
The order followed recent state
ments by various Swedish ofIicials
that Sweden still was In danger Of
being drawn into the war
There was no indication of how
many men would be involved in the
exercises. Under complete wartime
mobilization Sweden could muster
about 100000 troops.
No dates have been announced
for the maneuvers. but they will be
held at a period when the nights
now only few hours in duration
become longer and would permit sur
prise attacks.
Should an Allied attack be made
upon Norway, Swedish officials are
on record as saying that the trans
port CT German troops and supplies
now permitted through Sweden
would be discontinued.
If Germany attempts to retain
such facilities by force, Sweden ex-
poets to 60 to war to protect its neu-
trality. Because of Norway's diff
cut terrain, best transportation of
supplies from Oslo to Trondheim
and Narvik is by way Of Sweden.
The Swedish Army has been on a
standardization basis for two years
and all men Of military age have
received some training. The Air
Force and Navy has been modernized
and commanding officers of all units
say they are ready for any eventu-
alities.
On June is King Gustaf observed
that for Sweden the danger is not
yet passed"

Dies Probers Are Told
To GET FBI Findings
On Jap Espionage

The War Relocation Authority
has gone intenslvely and as far
as possible" into Japanese espionage
and subversive activities in this
country. Dillson S. Myer. WRA d.
rector, told a Dies subcommittee
today, but he suggested the "find-
ings" be sought from the Govern
ment's various intelligence agencies.
Most" of the activities of the
pro-Japs, he declared, were carried
out before he became head Of the
WRA, which has supervision over
the 10 relocation camps into which
more than 100000 alien japanese
and American-Japanese on the
West Coast were placed after out
break OF the war.
Defends Agency's Policy.
Mr.. Myer was called before the
subcommittee to defend the policies
of the WRA In releasing from the
relocation camps Americans OF
Japanese ancestry.
He insisted that the WRA main
tained a very close" liaison with
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
and the Army and Navy Inteli-
eence Services, and it had received
excellent" cooperation In a pre-
release checkup of those given their
freedom from the camps either for
temporary or indefinite period

declared. but I cannot give the

Americans of japanese ancestry re-
leased from the camps are now
working in the Washington head
quarters of the WRA and some
others are employed in the field re-
location offices. The Washington
office he emphasized. also is stated
with a number of native-born Amer
leans who have lived and worked
closely with the Japanese on the

police the war-labor wage scale

tomotive news. Meanwhile, it adds,
the stockpile of used cars is shrink
ing steadily and transportation
crisis is probable unless the stored
vehicles can be smoked out" for
sale
Viewing the shortage OF used cars
as a problem from both the public
and the dealers standpoints. the
publication says:
Sporadic movements OF used We
hicles from plentiful to a short
area have perhaps provided some.
though temporary, relief, but the
overall picture hasn't changed--the
stock pile of used cars grows steadily
smaller and smaller.
Much of this has been due to the
large increase in the individ ual-to-
individual sales: lot of it is due
to the fact that perhaps a million
owners have stored their cars for
the duration. II only half of these
million owners could be smoked
out much of the problem would be
solved
The trade paper says some dealers
have enlisted the editorial aid of
local newspapers in the drive to get
stored vehicles back into the mar
ket.
Other dealers" It continues, are
getting line on used cars by offer
ing TO give the owner a priority
number for postwar delivery of
new car There are no strings at
tached to this offer, since neither
the car dealer nor the owner enters
into a contract, but in many cases
the owner is persuaded to sell his
idle used car now"
No new cars have been assembled
since February, 1912, and new cars
in dealers hands are estimated to
number not to exceed 10000 units
made. Each "tinflsh" has some
5000 parts. Each airborne torpedo,
weighing more than a ton, costs
Sl0,500 and each missile for use by
surface or underwater craft cos.s
$l2.300.
