VIRTUALLY STOPPED
SABOTAGE & ESPIONAGE IN U.S.A. SOME AXIS AGENTS STILL AT LARGE. BUT KEPT UNDER CLOSE WATCH. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, Noon.) WASHINGTON. January 8. “The Federal Bureau of Investigation has virtually stopped antiAmerican sabotage and espionage,” said Mr J. Edgar Hoover. “Some Axis agents are still at large, but are unaware that they are under the closest surveillance, as the F. 8.1. considers that protracted observation is more advantageous than premature arrests. The F. 8.1. lias trained and mobilised 150,000 policemen for special service. It has also catalogued anti-Americans for years. This has facilitated the recent swift seizure of 3,000 dangerous Japanese, Germans and Italians, thus rendering sabotage and Fifth 'Column activities in the United States negligible.” A Salt Lake City message says the former Olympic ski champion, Frederick Pfeifer, and two other international skiers, Hans Hauser and Joseph Froelich, all Austrians, have been arrested as enemy aliens. Pfeifer is head of the Sun Valley Ski School. The others are married to socially prominent Americans.
