Spain Leads Fascist Plan Against United States
A new Axis propaganda and espionage campaign targets the United States from Spain and Latin America. Falangists, aided by Spanish nobles and propagandists, aim to recruit Spaniards near defense posts, boost spy networks, and push a new order that would restore a Spanish empire influence in the Western Hemisphere. The plan includes spreading anti-American doctrine, manipulating business and education channels, and coordinating with Latin American allies to weaken U.S. defenses.

Spanish Falange influence and Axis ties in the United States
A report notes Spanish consulates remain active in the United States and Latin America, with Falange groups in cities like New York. Propaganda targets Roosevelt and U.S. Army, while Franco and Serrano Sunéz issue hostile statements. The State Department has limited broadcasters, and the U.S. seeks countermeasures near the Mexican border and Panama Canal. The Mexican government faces pressure to register aliens amid Falangist activity.

Odlum Proposes Small Firm Relief for War Effort
Floyd B. Odlum, head of the Defense Contract Service, pitched penciled recommendations before Senator Truman's special defense committee. The plan aims to shield small firms with under 20 workers through June 1942, while assigning large defense material plants to armed services oversight. It envisions a two tier system plus a financing path via a federal fund or guaranteed private loans to convert civilian plants to defense work, with Army and Navy advance payments to speed expansion.
