WASHINGTON. Nov 27 — r — President Roosevelt has tele-
graphed Chairman Dies D. Texas i of the house committee on
un-American activities that careful executive plans to combat
subversive activities “may be severely handicapped or completely
destroyed” by premature disclosure of facts or of suppositions to
the public. Dies last week released a "white paper” on German
propaganda in the United States and plans an early "red paper”
on Russian activities.
The president told Dins that departmental investigations also
might be hindered by "hasty seizure of evidence” or by "giving
of immunities” to witnesses before congressional committees.
The White House telegram went to Dies Tuesday night at
Orange, Texas, after a presidential secretary had received an ac-
ceptance from the Texan for a conference with Mr. Roosevelt Fri-
day on dividing spheres of jurisdiction of congressional and de-
mental work against subversive influences. (Text, page 3.)

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Nov. 27 -
(UP)—Germany sent large units of
troops and armored trucks Into west-
ern and southern Norway Wednesday
where martial law has been declared
to combat sabotage to vital communi-
cations with Nazi naval and air bases
along the north Atlantic coast.
Press dispatches from Oslo reported
that many "mysterious" mountain
landslides had occurred in western
Norway in the last two days, disrupt-
ing transport on the railroads and
highways.
The railroad between Oslo and Ber-
Ven. most important in the country,
was wrecked at at least 10 points.
Many highways leading from Oslo to
Vestlandet province likewise were hit.
Stone and iron bridges were destroyed
and telephone service between Os’o
and Vestlandet was interrupted.
German authorities arrested a num-
ber of persons. The reports indicated
that the landslides were the first
phase of a large scale sabotage to
harass the German forces of occu-
pation.

As the Royal Air force lunged at both Turin and Berlin Tues-

scattered, mild attacks to the British Isles.

attacked the royal arsenal and "greatly increased” damage done

also were attacked.
