In an attempt to arouse the average citizen as to the need of alertness in preventing sabotage, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has asked all civilians in every community to consider themselves "listening posts." It does not mean that each citizen will be required to consider himself a "GMan" and pry into his neighbor's affairs. While enemy espionage in this country has been under remarkable control, the F. B. I. has information to the effect that the Nazis are turning out hundreds of graduates from their espionage training school with the expectation that they will find their way into important localities in the United States. Locating these super-expert sabouteurs, and possibly others as well, might be like finding AUCTION Council Room, May 3, 1943.
