The second plan is to designate

be designated for picking up ma

She was about to start work in
a film titled The Redheaded
Woman"
She was to have a half dozen
love affairs and one of them
was to be with her chauffeur.
The role was small, but called
for unusual personality and
charm. A chauffeur who could
plausibly have a love affair with
the supercharged Jean Harlow
could obviously be no grease
monkey. The studio was having
trouble finding an actor to play
the part.
One day. watching the rushes
of a picture in a studio projec-
ton room, Jean Harlow saw a
new face, an amazingly interest
ing personality. 1t was just a
flash, for the actor was playing
a tiny role. The star had the pro-
jectionist rerun the film. She
watched fascinated. "Who is that
man." she asked. "We must
have him for the role of the
chauffeur" 1t was arranged,
and a nobody played the role
and became a star. The mana
French actor brought to America
to do French versions of Holly
wood pictures, Charles Boyer.

Background for Stardom: She
was attending school in Florida
and was very popular at social
affairs for her sweet, clear 90
prano voice. Very popular, that
is, until she suffered a sudden
attack of tonsilitis. Her physi-
clan ordered an operation and,
while recuperating, she worried
about the continued huSkiness
of her voice. There were days
when she feared she never could
sing again. Finally she. tried a
note or two and discovered to
her horror that she was singing
a full octave below her normal
voice, For better or for worse,
she was a contralto. And it
turned out for the better. Her
contralto voice, which she so
despised, became one of the most
romantic voices in radio. The

Seven thousand four hundred
reports of sabotage have been
received by the Federal Bureau
of Investigation between Jan. l,
1910, and Feb. /, 1943-an aver
age of a little less than 10 cases
a day.
OF these 7400 reported cases,
investigation disclosed that $50
cases were definitely acts of sa-
botage. The remaining 6842 cases
were false alarms or natural in
duStrial accidents.
OF the $50 cases of actual sa-
botage, 424 convictions had been
obtained up TO Feb. /. The re-
naming 1874 cases are awaiting
trial or in the process of being
tried.
Only two of the cases of ac-
tual sabotage were committed by
axis sympathizers. All the others
have American citizen principals
who committed their acts of sa-
botage under strange influences

were the results of natural causes

duction. That effort met with
failure, but it is obvious that
the Nazis would not have gone
to all the trouble they did to
land trouble-makers on u. S.
shores from submarines il there
had been any active organized
groups in the country on whom
they could depend.
In none of the sabotage cases
thus Ear reported and investigat-
ed has there been major damage
to any war plant or to any mu-
nitionS, planes, ships, tanks,
guns. In most of the cases, the
sabotage has been detected be-
fore damage has been done. The
whole story of anti = sabotage
work in this war, in fact, has
been a record of sabotage pre-
vention. 1t makes much less
spectacular reading this way,
but countless lives have thus
been spared and many thousands
of dollars have been saved.
And so, while the United
States has escaped major dam
age from sabotage in the first
IA months of the war, it has
done so only at the price of eter-
nal vigilance. The record is a
vindication and a tribute to the
methods of j. Edgar Hoover and
his G-men. Long before 1899

TONS OF PREVENTION
Prior to the war, the FBI con-
Quoted a survey of some 1850
war plants, checking up with
factory guards and local police
to make sure that ample secur-
ity measures were being taken
that fences we're adequate,
pass systems tight enough to
keep out unwanted visitors, the
records of employees above sus-
picion, the guards themselves of
the right caliber, and that SIM
pie precautions against fires and
explosions were enforced. There
are fires and accidents even in
peacetime. but in wartime the
safety-first measures are all the
more important. Continuance of
the good anti sabotage record
for the rest of the war is pos
sible only by maintaining this
vigilance.
The two acts of sabotage in
volving axis sympathizers were
the Ethel case in Baltimore in
which a German national did
succeed in damaging some 81
Martin bombers before he was
caught, and an attempted arson
case at the Kaiser shipyards in
Richmond. Calf. The Ethel case
attracted considerable attention,
but the west coast case received
little publicity. 1t happened at
Las a. m. last July %, when an
alert guard saw a man trying to
set fire to a pile of lumber with
ignited oakum, or ships caulk-
ing. Detected, the saboteur pull
ed a gun. which the guard
knocked out of his hand. The
saboteur picked up a stick and
the guard ran for help. When
he got back, the culprit had es-
capped. Identified by photos, the
saboteur proved to be one Helm
rich Roedel, a German alien who
had entered the United States
illegally in 1886. He had been
employed at the shipyard for a
short time, but was dismissed
because of his alien status, and
was a subject for deportation. A
taxi driver also identified Roe
del as the man he had driven
from the shipyards to Oakland
the night of the fight.
Among Roedel's effects we're
found certificates which iden-
titled him as having been a nau-
teal storm trooper in 1888, He
got 80 years.
