Here. in brief. are War Mo-
bilizcr Byrnes' new ideas for the
home front:
That 4-F's should be drafted
for limited military service or
war jobs if present manpower
controls fail TO do the needed
job.
That Congress should pass
legislation backing up War La
Dor Board orders. ~
That larger draft calls Will
have to come in the next few
months; reconsideration of farm
deferments may be required.
That work of reconverting to
civilian production must be
shelved until our military men

Capture Of
Germon Agents

NEW YORK, Jan. 2 - up -
An alert 17-year-old Maine
schoolbOy was credited today
with spotting two alleged Nazi
sabOteurs, on a native born
American, who, the FBI said,
landed by U-boat Nov. % near
the boys Hancock Point home.
The men, FBI Director j. Ed
gar Hoover said, were arrested
several days ago in the New
York area They came ashore in
q rubber boat at night after the
Nazi submarine had lain off the
Maine coast for week, Hoover
. reported.
Deputy Sheriff Dana Hodg-
kins, of Hancock Point, said his
son, Harvard, a High school sem
Tor, was returning from a dance
when he saw two strangers
walking along road in snow.
He followed the pair until they
disappeared into woods, then
told his parents who notified
the FBI.
FULLY EQUIPPED
The men, Hoover said, carried
$50, 900 in American money, au-
tomato pistols, compass, cam.
era, secret inks and variety Of
draft papers and discharges
from the Navy.
Hoover identified the alleged
espionage agents as William
Curtis Colepaugh, 26, United
States citizen of Mantle, Conn,
and Erich Gimpel, 35, a Ger
man who was radio engineer
in South America.
The landing was made at
Hancock Point in Frenchman's
Bay, Me-, Hoover said, adding
that the men had supplied a full
story of their activities since
coming ashore.
Commenting on the arrests
and the recent discoveries of
two Japanese balloons in Ore
gon and Montana, which he said
might have carried spies instead
of explosives, Hoover declared
these were evidence of an es-
pionage and sabotage offensive
against the entire American
hemisphere.
SIX OTHERS EXECUTED
The last known landing of en-
envy agents was announced June
%, 1912 by Hoover after four
men landed June Is at Amagan-
sett, Long Island, and four 9TH
ers June II at Ponte Vedra
Beach, Fla. All eight were cap
tured and six were later execut-
ed.
Hoover said Attorney General
Francis Biddle would decide
what charges would be placed
against Colepaugh and Gimpel.
The FBI director said the two
agents, after landing, went to
Bangor, Me-, and stopped briefly
ia Boston before coming to New
York, where they went to sepa-
