Petitions to the attorney general to restrict access to defense installations, 1941-1944.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/151677341

This series contains petitions and supporting materials from defense installations to the War Council (and its predecessor, the Council of Defense) requesting that certain streets adjacent to the defense facilities be closed to public access or that signs be posted restricting access to an area surrounding a facility. The Attorney General, as a member of the War Council, assumed the duty of investigating the petitions and recommending any necessary actions to secure the installations. Factories involved in supplying war materials requested the limits in order to prevent monitoring of shipments and deliveries, while other facilities such as water and power plants wanted to protect themselves from sabotage.
