(Editorial, Page 10)

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editer WASHINGTON, June 23 -—-German agents have reported to Berlin that in case of war between the democracies and the totalitarian hloe America’s industrial and] economic might will be on the side | of the former, i This report forms the basis of | Nazi espionage in the United | States, which is both widespread | and dangerous Its object is to) wreck the nation's economic and | industrial machine, by sabotage from within and without, when the need arises. German spies care little for the size and formation of America's | fighting forces and mobilization plans. What they want to know is: } The extent and condition of our aircraft industry. The latest developments and tvpes of warplanes. How fast the industry can make delivery to Rritain, France and their allies in the event of war

Seek Diagrams of Plants How quickly the industry can be enlarged and go into mass produce tion. Where the plants are situated. Diagrams of these plants and the quickest and easiest way to wreck them. The employees, if any, who would work for Germany. The nationality ideological bias and political views of employees. . .. Similar information with regard to all American industry likely to be diverted to war work. War Department plans for industrial mobilization in wartime. Railway and other transportation information, especially the kev points which, if crippled or destroyed. would hamstring America’s efforts The extent and nature of preparations in American industry to switch over {rom peacetime to wartime production, and all plans bearing on facilities to increase such production. . . . The relationship between Amerfean and Canadian industry. The nature and extent of branch plants north of the border. Where situated. ! How dependent these are on finished and semifinished parts from the parent concerns, raw material and soon. . .. Railway communications between the United States and Canada Docking and shipping facilities along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. | Information bearing on all sailors, | longshoremen. ete. who have aceess | to trans-Atlantic shipping. . . .

Could Blow Up Factories These are some of the things Herr | Hitler's Government very much | wants to know. With such infor. | mation at hand in Berlin, they could blow up factories, railway | bridges, ships, docks or whatever they liked almost at will The dynamiting and other forms of wholesale sabotage wrought by German agents in this country during the World War offer ample proof thet there are more ways than one to wage war. | “The United States” one of Europe's cleverest ambassadors told me, “is spy heaven!” He threw up hands to emphasize what he said. “You are babes in the wood Spies come and go without the slightest danger to themselves. You seem to think no such institution exists. You are what you call easy picking.”

| served decision today on applica- | tion by the Government for a tem- |

porary injunction to restrain publication of a series of stories about the current spy case by Leon G Turron, investigation. The judge was expected to hand down a ruling before the end of the week. The New York Post, which had announced publication of My. day, said it was withholding publication pending the decision. Assistant U. S. Attorney John F. Burke argued that publication of the stories would be an act in “contempt of court and an obstruction of the administration of justice.” He argued that publication of the stories would influence prospective jurors and jeopardize the defendants’ right to a fair and impartial trial. Simon H. Rifkin, Post counsal, argued that granting of any injunction would violate the constitutional guarantee of freedom of the press. He said censorship would be

mild compared to the decree sought |

by the Government because “it is proposed to restrain publication of a series of articles in advance” Senator Wagner (D. N. Y) sat with the Post's counsel, but took no part in the proceedings.

Japan Imposes

Drastic Economy TOKYO, June 23 (U. P).—The Government imposed a drastic wartime economy plan on the nation today and pledged itself to win the war in China regardless of the time

it would take. The emergency plan includes provision for price fixing, compulsory use of substitute materials and rigidly controlled domestic consump-

tion in order to conserve resources | and point every man, woman and |

child in the nation toward victory. In a long statement which was a preamble to the official decrees, the Cabinet expressed its determination to crush the Chinese Government regardless of the length of hostilities. To insure victory, the statement said, the people must make greater sacrifices and bend all efforts to give priority to production of war

munitions and to the expansion of |

foreign trade. Today's decrees provide for restriction of domestic use of steel. pig

iron, gold, platinum, copper, brass, |

lead, tin, nickel, antimony, aluminum, asbestos, cotton, wool, paper and pulp, leather, lumber, oil, benzine, rubber, acids and other materials necessary to munitions manufacture and other essential ends.

Japan May Occupy

Island Despite French

SHANGHAI June 23 U P).— Japan has decided finally on a bigscale invasion of southern China, and the coincident occupation of Hainan Island which dominates the coast of French Indo-China, military headquarters reported today Dispatches indicated that farther north there was a stalemate. Yellow floods had forced a retreat by the Japanese on the central front. Persistent rains, consequent minor floods, endless machine-gun

international importance the |

possible occupation of Hainan Is- |!

land overshadowed anything else. The island is of almost incalculable strategic importance in that it not only lies off French Indio-China | but that it flanks the ocean routes from the Indian Ocean to China via | British Singapore.

Loyalists Hold Out

At Burriana HENDAYE, French - Spanish Frontier, June 23 (U. P.) —Loyalist forces, backed by six miles of strong defenses, held back the Rebels 'at Burriana today as a bitter battle for its possession entered its ninth day. The port of Burriana, about n| mile to the east, was abandoned by | the Loyalists several days ago and a small detachment of insurgent | | Moors moved in, but Burriana itself held out. i To the north, Rebel forces under Gen. Jose Varela assertedly had the | town of Sarrion surrounded. The Rebels also claimed to have tightened a “pincers” around Sagunto | with the chief progress west of the city, where Gen. Varela’s troops penetrated new Loyalist defense positions.

Two Lawyers Shot to Death In Courtroom

LOS ANGELES, June 23 (U. P). —Arthur Emil Hansen, who came west from his O’'Connolly, S. D,, farm home 11 years ago with $35,000 and lost it in land deals, showed no remorse today for the slaying of two attorneys whom he charged had cheated him. “I'm glad of it,” he said as he smoked his corn cob pipe “I had nothing to lose. They swindled me out of everything I owned and when I saw them in court whispering together, trying to do me more harm, I went crazy. I don't regret a thing. I am glad I put them where they can’t hurt anyone else.” Hansen, 38, killed J. Irving Hancock, 26, and R. D. McLaughlin, 48, late yesterday as the attorneys sat talking together in the little courtroom of Commissioner Kurt Kauflman, in the hall of records. A case in which Hansen was involved was to have.been called shortly. Mr, McLaughlin and Mr. Hancock were in the front row of spectators seats when Hansen sat down two rows behind them. E. T. Crozier, the court clerk, was at the bench checking the docket. Charles I. Rosin, a lawyer, also was present. Suddenly the roar of Hansen's revolver filled the room. He fired five times. Mr. McLaughlin's body rolled to the floor. Mr. Hancock's remained upright, the legs still crossed.

Richard Gaston, 915 Woodlawn Ave, who reported to police that the car was driven near his home and parked without lights about 10

minutes. It was driven away, then returned and was parked at the curb until Mr. Healey approached and was attacked, Mr. Gaston said.

PUBLIC COUNT OF VOTE URGED BY JUDGE COX

Proposes Change to Check Irregularities; Feeney’s Lead Now 248.

An amendment to the Indiana election laws to eliminate the ale leged irregularities being found in the recount of the primary ballots was proposed today by Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox. With discrepancies being reported by the hundreds during the recount, Judge Cox said “the time is here when a ballot cast for a candidate must be counted for the candidate.” “I propose that the law be changed to require counting of all ballots publicly in a central place instead of at the polling places,” the judge said. “The counting ought to be brought out in the open so all can see its progress to avoid mistakes and avoid irregularities.” Al Feeney, defeated for the Demo« cratic sheriff nomination, according to canvassing board figures, today challenged 250 more ballots on the ground that they appeared to have been marked by the same person. At the same time Sheriff Ray, dee feated for the Democratic Mayore alty nomination, challenged all bale lots in four precincts following charges of his watchers that there were 594 ballots unaccounted for in one precinct, 27 mutilated ballots {in another and 150 apparently wele marked by the same person,
