New York, Nov. 30.—(AP)—Inspector Louis B. Nichols of the Federal Bureau of Investigation says the bureau has discovered an organized corps of sabotage agents in this country, knows their identity and has its eye on schools where they are trained in the technique of destruction.
In an address to the national inter-fraternity conference yesterday, the administrative assistant to Director J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI said the saboteurs had been "scrutinized by the FBI but they "haven't tried to start anything yet."
The FBI, he said, had found that the recent explosions and fires in defense industries had "not been acts of organized saboteurs."
FBI agents, he went on, had been sent to the so-called sabotage "schools" to obtain first hand information on the technique taught.
Nichols charged that subversive forces had tried to maneuver the FBI into a position where it would have to make public its information, and added:
"Nothing would please the totalitarian powers more than knowing exactly the information we possess concerning their activities."
