Mr. Roosevelt had summoned Mr. Jackson and other cabinet men to A meeting which jumped the gun on Sumners.

Only from and, to acquire newspaper the files was information it possi- that there have been 12 such unexplained developments in the past eight weeks- and no one has been caught. The explosions have occurred in the Hercules Powder Kenvil, N. Trojan Powder Allentown, American Cyanamide Chemical Bridgewater, and Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, all of which have defense contracts; and in the United Railroad Signal Woodbridge, N.
and the Pennsylvania Chemical Johnstown, which are doing no Government work. Fires have occurred in the National Guard Armory, Atlanta, Battleship South Dakota building in Kearny, N. destroyer building in Boston Navy Yard; Camden Forge building turret racks for the Navy (apparently no sabotage involved in this one, and airplane carrier U.S.S.

Carelessness, Inexperience Get Most Of Blame The only official information available here is that some of these cases might be due to the carelessness of inexperienced workers in hurriedly accelerated production, although no one contends they all could be SO easily explained. The Justice Department is not lacking in information in its pursuit of Fifth Columnists. The wife of an Army captain telephoned with what she described as a hot tip upon which Mr. J. Edgar Hoover could loose his minions.

Adrian Colonel Memphis took yesterday for a session with his proverbial turkey-ladened dinner table, loosened his belt a notch or two and remembered with a sigh that the Pilgrim Fathers didn't start such a bad custom after all. For as a day of Thanksgiving or recreation or just plain rest, yesis worth remembering in Memphis. Fair weather, heaping tables, a grid game, golf, hunting or religious services all combined to offer Memphians a banner holiday. Hundreds of Memphians began the day by attending probably the largest church service of the holiday at Grace-St.
Luke's Episcopal. Numerous other churches of most every denomination also held commemoratory program. The golf courses, both private and public, were spotted from early morning until twilight with business men on holiday. Duck shooting as well as dove and quail hunts were on calendars yesterday for many throughout the MidSouth. Most places of business throughout the city were closed for the day, although a few Federal offices remained open.
Shelby County's courts observed the time-honored custom of having Thanksgiving on the final Thursday of November.

W. L. Terry of the 155th Field Artillery told The Commercial Appeal over long distance telephone last night from Fort Jackson, S.
C. Colonel Terry has been relieved of his command because of physical disability but has hopes of being reinstated. "I passed the first examination at Memphis without any trouble." the 61-year-old Memphis lawyer said. "They put me through another one down here and said I had hernia, but they are all wrong. There's nothing the matter with me." Capt.
Felix T. Lanier of Cordova also was placed on the inactive list after the second physical examination. Lieut. Col. Ray Reeves has replaced Colonel Terry in command of the Memphis National Guard unit.
While not on active duty, Colonel Terry said he "was still working around a little." "And by the way, tell the back home that Memphis has folles best outfit in this camp. Every one of the men are doing fine," he said.

(AP) Dice, often a potent factor in the redistribution of wealth, will do acrobatics under the skillful guidance of six negro youths Friday in deciding a matter of $30 a month and free lodging. This "legalized" game came about in this way: When a call for four negroes to fill the first quota for selective service went out, there were plenty of volunteers here. So, after picking Toby Hall as No.

Renting ground, 11 miles off shore, under the water of Biscayne Bay at $1 an acre, many persons are building "tumbledown shacks" like that shown in the aerial photo above. Accessible only by boat, the dwellers can relax to their heart's content from the noise and bustle of city streets.

During the past week, the Dies Committee has published two doeuments- A "white paper" on German propaganda activities in this country and a "red book" designed to refute the United States Communist Party's claim that it is free of Moscow domination.
Between times, Mr. Dies has criticized Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation methods. Wednesday President Roosevelt warned him against interfering with functions of executive departments. "Any attack by Mr. Dies or any member of his committee on the Denartment of Justice is shameful and disgraceful." Representative Dickstein said.
"I would not exchange one G-man for all the investigators that Dies has had on his political pay roll." He said the "white paper" contained "not a bit of evidence" that would lead to the indictment or conviction of anyone, and that it and the "red book" were "worthless." At Ease, Men! It's A Holiday!
