No. 11-S FBI Reveals Bold Landing Of Saboteurs By Nazi Subs Eight Enemy Agents Are seized By Government As Huge Diabolical Plot For Sabotage Is Foiled Scheme Shows 'It Can Happen Here' NEW YORK, June 27.-(AP)-Eight German experts in sabotage, landed from submarines on the American coast with money and explosives for a two-year campaign of terror against American war industry have been captured by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, J. Edgar Hoover an- nounced tonight. All are former U.S. residents, sev- eral are former German-American Bundsmen and two are citizens of the United States. One was once a member of the Michigan National Guard. A group of four men, graduates of school for sabotage in Berlin, came ashore on Long Island east of New York City the night of June 13 and the other four at Ponte Vedra Beach near Jacksonville, Fla., three nights later, Hoover said. Land From Sub The New York group landed from a submarine which stood 500 yards offshore and dispatched them in a rubber boat. Once ashore the quar- tet of wreckers buried their Nazi uni- forms in the sand of Amagansett Bay together with their TNT, fuses, time clock firing devices for delayed ac- tion bombs and other equipment for sabotage. Donning civilian clothing they separated and came to New York City. The Florida group acted similarly, the FBI chief related. Hoover said the men were equipped for two years of work and had listed under questioning a number of ob- jectives." These included the Aluminum Cor- poration of America's plants at Al- coa, Tenn., Massena, N. Y., and East St. Louis, Ill.; the Cryolite plant at Philadelphia, manufacturing light metals; the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad in industrial areas; Hell Gate Bridge, New York City; the Pennsylvania Railroad Terminal at Newark, N. J., and all bridges on which transportation was carried in the New York area. Other Objectives Other objectives, Hoover said, were the inland waterways systems, a ser- ies of canal locks on the Ohio River near Cincinnati, the New York City water supply system, conduits in Westchester County, hydroelectric plants at Niagara Falls, and railroad tracks on the famous Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pa. Hoover added they planned to plant bombs in locker rooms at rail- road stations and in department stores to create panic and break down civilian morale. Included in the equipment they buried at the landing beaches were several types of bombs, including one type which resembles lumps of coal. Hoover said that all the saboteurs Turn to Page 2, Col. 3 Conferences On Education To Begin Here Highlighting a full program of extra-classroom summer activities, the School of Education will begin a series of conferences on "State and National Trends in Education" at 4:05 p.m. tomorrow in the University High School Auditorium when Dean J. B. Edmonson lectures on "What Is Ahead in Education." Open to the general public and also offering academic credit to graduates and advanced undergrad- uates in the education school, the series is under the direction of Dean Edmonson with the , assistance of Gerald L.

ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 1942 2:15 A.M. FINAL U. S. Secret Air Base Built Up In British Isles Reinforced Libyan Army Stands Against Powerful Axis Columns; Allied Diversion Move Promised Definite RAF Size Of Fighters American Force Still Uncertain; Active Over Occupied Europe LONDON, June 27.-(Al)-A large vanguard of the United States Army Air Corps is established in the Brit- ish Isles and is making preparations at a secret base to bomb Germany soon in mass attacks coordinated with those of the Royal'Air Force. How far the preparations have ad- vanced the actual size of American aerial units were military secrets, but authoritative sources said the men were already deployed to join the great assaults such'as those on Bre- men, Cologne, Essen, Rostock, Lue- beck and other German industrial or shipping centers. It was not disclosed whether a suf- ficient number of planes had been amassed for an all-American force, but as long ago as April 21 it was an- nounced that bombers for use of United States airmen in wing to wing attacks with the RAF were being ferried across the Atlantic. The smoke of destruction, still curled from the ruins of the great submarine base of Bremen today after Russians Stall German Drive On Sevastopol Crushing Before Heavy Nazi Offensive Kharkov Meets Counter-Attacks MOSCOW, Sunday, June 28.-(YP) -The valiant defenders of Sevasto- pol smashed attack after attack by storming Nazi forces which tried without success to advance all day yesterday in bitter fighting over stocks of their Axis dead, the Rus- sians reported early today. The siege of the Crimean port roared into its 24th day with no indi- cation of a German break into the vast defenses of Sevastopol. On the Kharkov front it was the same story, military dispatches said. Halt German Drive There Marshal Timoshenko's forces were credited with halting the eight- day-old German drive, and in one sector threw the Germans back in slashing tank counterattacks. The Germans were unable to make any headway whatever, the frontline accounts said, despite the extrava- gant use of massed air attacks in an effort to enlarge their gains. These - accounts 'were pointed up by the midnight communique, which told of the continued repulse of the Germansbefore Sevastopol and add- ed there had been no other changes yesterday anywhere on the long front. Of the battle for Sevastopol it said: "Our troops repelled several enemy attacks on the Sevastopol sec- tor and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy." Inflict Devastating Blows The Soviet Air Force was credited with inflicting "devastating blows" upon the Germans on the Kharkov front. In two days, the communique said, 23 Nazi planes wereshot down, 46 tanks and 117 trucks destroyed and 300 Germans killed by Russian airmen. (The British radio, relaying Mos- cow accounts, said that in a violent flare-up of aerial warfare all up and down the front Soviet pilots were "breaking up raid after raid upon Red Army positions." The BBC, heard in New York by CBS, quoted one correspondent as saying that "for the moment at least it looks as if further developments in the fighting may depend on which side can get air superiority first.") In "exceptionally fierce" fighting, the eight-day Ukraine offensive of the Germans was brought to a halt east of Kupyansk, 60 miles southeast of Kharkov, said Pravda accounts. the RAF's 1,000-bomber raid of two nights ago, but the great machines which carried millions of pounds of concentrated fury to Germany were grounded for the most part overnight. awaiting better weather. Fighter air- craft however swept widely over oc- cupied territories, mining shipping lanes and attacking vessels and rail- way facilities, the Air Ministry said. In retaliation for Bremen, Ger- man bombers raided Norwich in East Anglia setting fires and killing some people. Three raiders were shot down. The American Air Force has been expected momentarily to join the RAF in its second front assault on Hitler since the visit here in April of Gen. George C. Marshall, U.S. Chief of Staff. The General then declared that great U.S. bombers soon would be flying against Germany from all parts of Britain. Lieut.-Gen. Henry H. Arnold, head of the U.S. Army Air Forces, who was in England with General Marshall, declared four weeks ago that "our air arm shall join in an air offensive against the enemy which he cannot meet, defeat or survive." Since then, U.S. bombers have joined the battle in the Black Sea, Mediterranean and North Africa. They have raided Axis bases at To- bruk and Bengasi; scored 35 bomb hits on two Italian battleships; and 15 of them were reported to have blasted at Ploesti the Rumanian oil installations which lubricate Hitler's war machine, on June 12. The first official diclosure of United States air crews in Britain was made by Major Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, American commander in the Europe- an war theatre. He said Thursday that pilots were arriving "in rapidly increasing numbers." Authoritative sources said the U.S. Air Force would operate under a sep- arate command but in collaboration with the British in a long-range bombing plan. This itself was an in- dication that the American force is sizeable. Commanding officers al- ready are conducting staff talks with the RAF on future bombings of Ger- many. Local Savings Drive Planned Usual Business Will Stop At Noon Wednesday With whistles blowing, bands play- ing and warplanes roaring overhead at 12 noon Wednesday, Ann Arbor retail merchants will stop all cus- tomary business activity and devote 15 minutes exclusively to the sale of War Savings Stamps and Bonds. July 1 activities will inaugurate "Retailers for Victory" month in which Michigan merchants are asked to help sell $6,240,000 in savings stamps and bonds as their part in a nation-wide campaign. This drive is part of the larger and longer-time campaign by retail dealers to sell $1,000,000,000 worth of stamps and bonds within a year. Michigan quota for the year-long drive is $48,000,000 dollars worth with almost a half-million expected to be raised in Washtenaw County. Individual retailers are expected to sell stamps and bonds equal to two percent of their monthly sales. Navy Asks Volunteer Anti-Submarine Fleet FDR, Churchill Jointly Pledge Russian Relief By Stroke At Germany Observers Predict Invasion In Europe WASHINGTON, June 27.-()- President Roosevelt and Prime Min- ister Churchill today jointly prom- ised a stroke at Germany which will divert Nazi troops from the Russian front and said the outlook for victory had improved in the last six months. With Churchill safely back in Lon- don, they issued a statement which in addition called transportation the present "major problem" of the United Nations. But it noted that while the U-boat toll in the Atlantic was heavy, ship production was in- creasing and said new steps against the submarines were planned by the British and American navies. Second Front Speculated The statement made no specific mention of a "second front,' but nevertheless included a paragraph which provoked an intensive whirl of speculation on that subject. "While exact plans, for obvious reasons, cannot be disclosed," the statement said, "it can be said that the coming operations, which were discussed in detail at our Washing- ton conferences between ourselves and our respective military advisors,1 will divert German strength from the attack on Russia." Many observers concluded that the1 millions of American and English troops mobilized in the British Isles were to be thrown into an invasion+ of the Nazi-held continent. Since the project had reached the stage of discussion in detail, some sug-1 gested that the day of attack might+ be very near.1 White House Statement Recalled Others cautioned, however, against jumping at conclusions and advanced the theory that the "coming opera- tions" might be confined to intensi- fied mass air attacks upon German cities, such as have spread havoc in Rostock, Cologne and Bremen. Never- theless, it was recalled that the White House said when Churchill arrived thatit would be justifiable to speculate that the second front would be discussed. Production Figures Encouraging A survey of the munitions produc- tion situation, the statement said, gave "on the whole an optimistic picture." Monthly output has not yet reached its planned maximum rate "but is fast approaching it on schedule." (Mr. Roosevelt announced yesterday that May production of the United States alone included 4,000 planes, 1,500 tanks, 2,000 artil- lery pieces and 100,000 machine guns and sub-machine guns.) 18-20 Group Will Register Here Tuesday Almost matching the number of Ann Arbor men scheduled for the fifth Selective Service registration, University students between the ages of 18 and 20 will register Tuesday at CDVO headquarters, located in the Armory Building. Under the fifth registration, all men born on or after January 1, 1922, and on or before June 30, 1924, are to register. Students who have regis- tered at an earlier date should not register again, but all others within the age limits must register or indi- vidually bear the full responsibility for this failure. Specially exempted from regis- tering are members of the advance corps of the ROTC; Regular Army Reserve; Officers Reserve Corps; en- listed Reserve Corps and federally recognized active National Guard. Foreign students also must regis- ter and those having alien registra- tion cards must give the number of this card as part of the registration procedure. Each registrant will be given a reg- istration certificate which he should carry at all times, "as he may be re- ........... .. . .....ra.... ....

Foretelling the end of the roust- about union leadership that charac- terized organized labor's rise to rec- ognition, all UAW leaders will soon be educated in schools similar to this. Lecture Series Opens Tuesday Ehrmann To Give First War Review Talk The first 'of a series of University lectures, "A Weekly Review of the War," will be given by Prof. Howard M. Ehrmann of the history depart- ment at 4:15 Tuesday in Rackham Auditorium. The program of talks-scheduled for each Tuesday until Aug. 11-will be a historical accounts of the sig- nificant news of the week with an evaluation of its importance. Discussions and questions will be held at the end of the lectures, lec- tures which will trace the course and progress of the war through a round- up of important events. Prof. Ehrmann, an expert on Euro- pean history, works in the field of the causes and effects of the war. He recently lectured before the Michigan Post-War Council on "The Atlantic Charter." "Education will put to rout much of the politics and racketeering in labor unions," asserted Richard Dev- erall, director of the International Education Department of the UAW- CIO, leader of the labor Summer School. Speakers at mealtimes, classes in between and educational "bull-ses- sions" lasting far into the night con- stituted the daily program of the delegates here from all over the United States. In closing speeches at the school yesterday, leaders going back to con- tinue their work in the many local un- ions which they represent, were loud in their praise for the school which was the largest and best in the his- tory of labor. Said delegate James Tate, Negro representative of the Ford Local, "I have learned more here in one week than in my entire high school edu- cation." Hilda Smith, National Director of the WPA Workers Service-in charge of labor education-stated that she woud try to interest Mrs. Roosevelt in a plan for permanent subsidation of workers' education after seeing the results of this school. Not only was the school excep- tional for its new ideas in education but for inter-union cooperation as well. Two delegates attended the UAW Summer School from the Far- mers Union-largest agricultural or- ganization besides the Grange-and in return two UAW delegates plan to attend their school which will be held in North Dakota soon. Dr. Charles A. Fisher, director of the University Extension Service, in addressing the labor leaders at com- mencement, was highly gratified with the success of the school. i British Forces Take Post To Defend Egypt Inch By InchAgainst Nazis Hard-Hitting RAF Bombs Operations CAIRO, June 27.-(-P)-The British Eighth Army stood reinforced at full strength tonight 15 miles west of Matruh against a powerful Axis striking force spearheaded by three mechanized divisions aiming at Alex- andria, 165 miles away, and the Suez Canal beyond. The Allied desert army was in position on a chosen line 115 miles inside Egypt, and military men said that when the imminently expected German onslaught comes, the veter- ans will defend Egypt inch by inch. With the enemy within 150 miles of the lush Nile valley where 98 per- cent of Egyptians live, there was no doubt the situation was serious but the Eighth Army--smarting from its bad defeat in Libya-was described as determined that the enemy shall not pass. All-Out Attempt Marshal Erwin Rommel, the Axis commander, has thrown everything he has into his Egyptian invasion, military men said, but before he can reach the Nile he must smash through the 40-mile desert stretch between the Mediterranean and the great Qattara Depression-a great inland sea of sand through which a modern army cannot move. Rommel had advanced 15 miles overnight but he definitely had been slowed. Throughout the day and night the Allied Air Force, which includes some of the United States Army's mighty B-24 bombers, fought against the approaching enemy host. Axis and other reports reaching Cairo indicated that the battle of mechanized land forces was immi- nent, if not actually under way. Attack Constantly "By day and night, bomber and fighter-bomber formations of the Allied Air Force in the battle area have been turned against the enemy ground forces and grounded air forces in the area west of Matruh," said tonight's RAF communique. The Axis zone of forward opera- tions, stretching southwestward 80 miles from Matruh on the coast was criss-crossed by planes guided by men grimly determined to exact a terrific toll from the invader before he came to grips with the battered Eighth Army. A big enemy armored column had moved to the coastal area west of Matruh while other units milled about further inland in contact with British mobile patrols. But the last work indicated Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, commander of the Ger- mans and Italians, still withheld an attack on the main Allied position. Rommel's drive had definitely slowed down, for the moment at least. He seemed to be exercising considerable caution I - - - - Clip Here And Mail To A II.-M.
