Saboteurs and Spies Use Evolving Tricks in Wartime
Washington July 9 reports that from 1933 to 1938 the FBI averaged 35 espionage and sabotage investigations annually. From July 1938 to June 1939 there were 250 national defense cases, then 1650 the following year. Most sabotage was by individuals, often disgruntled workers, though organized foreign agents now use more sophisticated methods. Guards are trained to handle bombs and new techniques are developed to counter threats in plants and ports.
