Nazi Agents Bank
On High Explosives
Rather Than Fires
Famous 'Blue Pencil' Seldom
Used in Destructive Work
By Agents Now
The list of the tools of sabotage
buried by the German saboteurs in
sand of Florida's beaches above
"the water line and "uncovered fey
agents of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation (FBI) before the plans
for using them had matured is as
long as it is impressive. It is also sig
nificant.
The boxes contained, carefully
packed in excelsior, blocks of TNT,
special bombs containing a high ex
plosive of great power and disguised
as pieces of coal, wooden blocks con
taining detonators, timing devices
fuses of various kinds and, finally,
small bombs in the shapes of pen and
pencil sets.
? Nothinr was left in c^nce- the
photographs released by the FBI
show that the saboteurs were even
? quipped with rolls of electric cable,
so that the purchase of such cable
would not call FBI agents on their
trail.
It is easy to guess the use to which
the saboteurs would have put this
demolition equipment if they had
had the chance. Water conduits were
on their list, aluminum plants,
bridges and railroad bridges, rail
road yards and railroad terminals
but mainly bridges. The bombs dis
guised as pieces of coal were no
doubt to be used for the demolition
of railroad bridges and railroad ter
minals. They probably were equip
ped with time fuses, fuses that would
set them off so and so minutes or
hours after they had been planted.
It may also be surmised that these
coal-simulating bombs were filled
with a special kind of high explosive
presumably more powerful than
The high explosive in the bombs of
the saboteurs could be more power
i. j j? 'l was not as safe as TNT
It did not have to stand the shock
o being fired from a gun, nor did
i! have to stand rough handling in
being transported to the battlefield
or the airdrome. It was to be handled
with loving care and was to be plac
ed by hand in a corner where it
would be effective. And if a train
should pass over it, crush it and ex
plode it. . . the saboteurs would have
been satisfied with that, too.
But there is an interesting trend
discernible in the sabotage equip
ment which the Nazis packed for
their agents. During the First World
War the main tool of German sabo
teurs was their famous ? blue pen

Many of these WPA leaners hav

Soldier* ot Fort Bragg, largest of

little excitement.
On the whole, it was just like any

Retroactive to June 1, privates re

Mowing 11 The Beit Method
For Ridding Pasture of Weeds
Mowing as often as necessary
seems to have given the best results.
Early mowing is desirable, but one
mowing will not do the job. Weeds
come in cycles and must be mowed
several times during the growing
season to prevent reseeding. The
best time to mow is when the bloom
first appears. At this stage the food
reserve of the weeds is at its lowest
point, and there is no danger of scat- .
tering seed by the mowing opera
tion. Hand pulling or cutting will
control weeds on area which can
not be reached with a mower.
labor sells fer; and farm-labor has
got as much right to be lifted and
eased up by WPA, as Mr Green's la
bor has by Wage-Hour; or Congress
men has by thay own votes.
And that brings in pensions, too,
as many of the WPAs need a crutch
to lean on, stead of a shovel, lessen
thay kud swap jobs with a senator.
