FBI reveals 5,246 sabotage inquiries
Washington (UP) –
The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated 5,246 complaints of sabotage during the first 10 months of the 1942 fiscal year, Assistant FBI Director Clyde A. Tolson told a House subcommittee, officials said today.
Mr. Tolson said that, in the corresponding 10 months of the 1941 fiscal year, the FBI investigated 2,569 complaints of sabotage. He said that during the entire 1941 fiscal year, there were 149 convictions, compared with 177 convictions during the first 10 months of fiscal 1942.
In answer to a question whether the cases were “pretty bad,” Mr. Tolson said:
There were some aggravated cases of sabotage, but our experience has been, up to the present time, that there has been no foreign-inspired sabotage in the United States. They have consisted largely of disgruntled employees and cranks and persons who had grievances.

Michigan City, Ind. (UP) –
Robert M. Rowley of Mt. Vernon, Iowa, 25-year-old Cornell College, Mr. Vernon, Iowa, graduate and contributor to religious magazines, walked to his death in Lake Michigan today because it was “the only way out” of being drafted into the Army.

It looks as if this is the only way out. I’m sorry but it is inevitable.
