Plant security program for war industry pushed
Washington March 1 UP a government security group expects to have ready by June a detailed account of what each of the nation's several thousand war goods plants is doing or should do to guard against saboteurs and spies. The munitions board began the project last fall after officials raised alarms over protection for plants with secret military contracts. The effort aims to standardize rules across services and coordinate internal security work. The board has completed a list of sensitive plants and may publish the names, though officials fear it would invite sabotage. Security experts warn saboteur risk exceeds that of World War I as espionage and tools have evolved. Officials report progress with more plant-by-plant surveys in recent months than before Pearl Harbor.
