ANTI-SPY

SQUADS FOR U.S.A. POLICE

More than one-third of the policemen of Philadel- phia are being organised into special anti-spy and anti-sabotage squads for the protection of the vital defence industries in and around the city.

Mr. James H. Malone, Director of Public Safety, announces that 1050 men have been formed into six squads who are now under- going an intensifed course of in- struction in combating subversive activilles.

For the time being they will continue with their normal police dutles, but when trained they may be called out on anti-sabotage work at a moment's notice.

"Details of this programme have been under consideration for some weeks," Mr. Malong stated, "but the recent disastrous explosion at the Hercules Power Company's plant at Kenvil, New Jersey, has speeded up active organisation." Month's Talks

The plans formulated by Mr. Malone and Mr. Guy E. Parsons, assistant superintendent of police, have been approved by Federal authorities in Washington after

extending over conferences month with representatives of the Army and Navy Intelligence Bu- reau of Investigation.
