NUMBER 133 A YEM Investigation, Proves D&femse Plant Guard Inadequate To test the purportedly rigid guard system . round our vital defense plants, AYEM yesterday, sent a staff man to Alderman- dormitory No at" tempt at disguise was made ; in fact he was un shaven, looked extremely manly and asked Mrs. Stacey herself where the second floor staircase was in a manly voice. Directions and assistance were given our man and for three hours he roamed the halls of the sec ond floor of Alderman, without any of the man traps described in OWI releases catching him and without any official questioning his presence. During this period loads of dynamite were con stantly crossing the halls and at any time he could have sabotaged them. That our mn was a true American, that Ayem sent him there only to inves tigate, that he carried no weapons of sabotage no master plans from Germany was all that kept Alderman second floor from going up in smoke and being claimed by another "unexplainable fire." Ayem herewith presents his account of his wan derings through what was regarded as Carolina's best defended zone: I have been on the second floor of Alderman. Two days before going on the assignment I stopped shaving and proceeded to practice speech in a low, manly voice. Yesterday the break came and with a camera man I crossed the street and started into Alderman. Barbed wire fencing was ineffectual and no guards were present at 3 p. m. At 3:02 I approach ed Mrs. Stacey, inquired the way to the second floor and had her personally escort me there. All this time I made no attempt to disguise my iden tity but even overplayed my part so as to best test alertness of the patrols. During my three hours of slouching about the corridors many vital cargoes passed and at any time I could have completely sabotaged them. At 3:15 I engaged a coed in conversation and asked if men were allowed on the second floor. "No, we can't have them up, darn it." Inquiries Blatant inquiries brought me a full scale plan of the second floor with all military installations and main defense works. Only close call was when a tall, auburn haired girl stopped and looked back at me. But then she shrugged, said "Oh, you must be Dottie's husband," and walked on to the shower. 1 , At 405 a convoy, unescorted, of tank destroy- " . - - - LflUNDR.y L-orvcJow E5 1 y yyiosgi-ly-J y K leu alar 1l ''STAIRS,'! i A I" Dav i Fr cnch Chartars CLEFlNfNG CLOSET 3ass Turner UShtt2- J"o fa IA S G? or- K-W Wilh's DIAGRAM OF SECOND FLOOR ALDERMAff ers ai nnroached oh flat cars andf before one of the doors, obvious-band" and since his arrivalfore leaving. t.med less than 15 feet from mo Again there was no chal lenge, again a vital blow against our war effort might have been struck.

He was obviously "Dottie's hus- might cause questioning of me I left, again making as much noise as possible going down the stairs and thanking each girl on the floor for the' visit be- Alderman what is to stop Goering, Hitler and Goebbels from duplicating the feat. It's -about time the authorities woke up and realized that -we're not in a crap game but in a life and death struggle for the survival of the fittest. Surely if another Normandie disaster is to be avoided, America must act now to see that no unidentified stranger gets onto the upper floors of Alderman. Paragraphs of Mr. Nosduj Gene's expose ex clusive to AYEM have been deleted as we con sider it a family newspaper. All AYEM readers who don't have families can obtain the censored sections by sending ten cents (firmly wrapped in tin foil) to our New York office on the 338 floor of the Empire State building. FLOOR PLAN EXPLANATION So unhampered was our staffman who checked Alderman defenses that he was able, during the course of .his three hour watch and observance of movements in this vital defense area, to draw a complete diagram and detailed floorplan of the second floor of Alderman. After first sketching in the various rooms, the reporter decided to further test alertness of the population. He knocked on every door and in quired both it's occupants' names and those of their next-door neighbors. Statements to the effect that this survey was for Esquire failed to arouse even the slightest female curiosity. He was met with complete indifference and the names wher ever he knocked. None of the women thought his presence sus picious. None of these American citizens were on the alert against backyard sabotage. America slept on the second floor of Alderman while1 an un known intruder stalked its corridors;, blatantly announced his presence, A' signifies where he stood for the first hour and kept the corridor under constant surveillance. This was the position assigned to him by Mrs. Stacey. 'B' designates his position when he inquired if men were allowed in the halls. After receiving the reply noted he did not move but remained in this exposed point for some time. C is the spot he occupied when observing the long line waiting to enter the "troop train." As a special service to AYEM subscribers, the editorial staff has prepared autographed copies of the floor plan for distribution. We realize that there will probably be a great rush to get this limited edition of the floorplan and so we will dis fthan one-quarter the area. Amer-f tribute them to the first 5,000 PULL- LENGTti The warning system at this vi tal point is wholly inadequate. Only mouth signals control traf fic to and from warehouses and armed guards do not patrol more ica's enemies could have entered just as easily as I, could have blown up vital consignments just as easily as I might have. If I could get into second floor applicants. AYEM has purposely left large blank spaces for any nota tions that the receivers of these plans wish to make
