AGAINST SABOTAGE
ACTION IN UNITED STATES LEGISLATION APPROVED BY SENATE. PROTECTION OF NAVAL ESTABLISHMENTS. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright I (Received This Day, 1.25 p.m.) WASHINGTON, July 22. The Senate has approved legislation authorising the Navy to establish a secret force to give it protection against saboteurs. Senator Walsh, chairman of the Senate Naval Committee, told the Senate today that sabotage had caused a number of fires and industrial accidents in naval establishments during the last twelve months. He said the Navy lacked exact knowledge of the number of Communists and Nazis working in Navy yards, but the Communist organ, the “Daily Worker" published Brooklyn Navy Yard editions. Senator Walsh urged support of the measure to establish a civilian protective guard for naval establishments. He said: “It would be disastrous if one of our battleships was blown up by sabotage.” Although Senator Walsh quoted from naval reports marked confidential, the Senate galleries were filled at the time of the reading.
