A GAINST the cunning of the saboteur is matched the
i greater cunning of our military and civil law en
forcement agencies. Every minute, day and night, the
relentless hunt for enemy agents goes on.
But Axis agents are not our only enemies here at
home. Equally destructive are those who, posing as
reputable business men, are every day sabotaging our
industries, undermining morals, jeopardizing liberties.
When such offenders are found in Georgia’s $10,000,000
beer industry, they are dealt with quickly, effectively.
First, a clean-up warning from this Committee; then,
unless the warning is heeded, a close-up order by law-
enforcement authorities.

Washington — The new aircraft
carrier Lexington, replacing the one
which was sunk last May in the
battle of the Coral Sea, will be
launched next Saturday one year
ahead of schedule, s the Navy an
nounced Sunday.
The Lexington will be the second
carrier launched since Pearl Harbor
The Essex, prototype of a new clasa
to which the Lexington belongs,
entered the water at Newport
News, Va., July 31, it will be some
months, however, before these two
new "flat-tops" can be completely
fitted out and ready to join the
fleet.
The new Lexington will be
launched at the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation's Fore River plant at
Qunlcy, Mass. Mrs. Theodore Rob-
inson, who christened the other
Lexington 17 years ago in the
same yard, will give the new ship
its name. She is the widow of a late
assistant secretary of the Navy.
The Navy, racing in secrecy to
build the world's largest and
hardest hitting fleet of carriers, has
made public data on Essex class
vessels. Jane's fighting ships say
they displace around 25,000 tons,
cost about $60,000,000 and have a
complement of more than 80 planes
and 2,000 officers and men. Speed,
a prime essential of an aircraft
carrier, was listed as 35 knots.

in 1940 and the Lexington, first ol
