Polish Girl To Continue Story Of Love Affair With Diplomat WASHINGTON ( APi - A thin, dark-haired Polish airl i expect ed today to i-ontinut- unfolding the tury o( her love atlair with a married American diplomat that led to his arret on a charge of lining secret documents to l'ohh Ked agents. She told Wednesday how Polish police burst into her room on Kosiykowa street in Warsaw last Dec. 22 and photographed her in hed and undressed with Irvin C. Sicarbeck, 41, at that time second secretary of the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw. Blackmail Claimtd The girl. I r.Mila Discher. 22. spoke haltingly through an inter preter in lederal court, where Scarbeck is on trial for turning over four secret embassy papers to Communist agents, lie is said to have been blackmailed by the Ked agents. Last April, Scarbeck engineered the girl's escape from Poland by having a West German friend send her a fake telegram that her nonexistent brother was dying in a Frankfurt hospital. With this, she was able to get a visa from Polish authorities The (ierman, Frankfurt police official Fnedrich Cordes, told how Scarbeck arranged the hoax tele gram and how he joined Miss Polaroid Developer Added At Hospital A new polaroid X-ray developer designed especially for use in the operating room has been added to the equipment at the Mercy Hospital in Koseburg, a hospital apokesman reports. With the new machine, an X-ray picture can be obtained in just ten seconds. Previously, the method of developing such X-ray photos re quired five to ten minutes each. This means that a patient will have his time under anesthesia greatly shortened. It should be a great benefit to elderly persons or seriously injured patients, the spokesman said. The first patient to have the use of the polaroid ten-second de veloper at the hospital was an el derly man with a fractured hip. With the aid of the ten-second pic tures, the surgeon was able to in sert a fixation pin to set the frac ture in perfect position in about half the time ordinarily required for such a procedure. ' The spokesman went on to say that the shortened anesthesia time will definitely aid in a patient's post-operative recovery. Discher in Frankfurt. Coi-des said she lived with Scarbeck in his apartment there and that Scar beck paid for a doctor to treat I serious illness she had. Scarbeck later returned to the I'nited States and was arrested here June 13. . , Wife Unmoved Scarbeck ' wife. Karen, 37, by whom he has three children, sat through Miss Discher's testimony without visible emotion. She has said she's sticking by her hus band. During Cordes' testimony, Mrs. Scarbeck was allowed to sit at the defense table to help with the in terpreting job. She is German born and met Scarbeck while he was serving in Germany. They exchanged smiles and a few words as she joined him at the table. Miss Discher said when the po lice agents burst in on her .and Scarbeck, they called her a pros titute and hauled her off to a po lice station. There they suggested, in the interpreter's words, that "as you are acquainted with an American who happens to be a diplomat, could you cooperate with us?" The nature of the cooperation was not immediately brought out. Miss Discher said she had trouble with her address regis tration, and was told she could be expelled from Warsaw. She denied she was threatened, hut U.S. attorney Paul Vincent said: "Perhaps it would .refresh your memory if I mentioned the word black market." Miss Discher said yes, the po lice and members of the Polish security force threatened to ex pose her dealings in foreign cur rency. Vincent said. ''Perhaps it would also help refresh your memory if 1 mentioned the word prostitu tion." The girl said she had been told that if she "indulged in prostitu tion" she would be given a card "such as all street girls have in Warsaw." As Vincent prompted her, she several times boved her head in her hand, said she didn't under stand the question, or asked if she must answer in detail. She said Scarbeck paid the rent on her room on Kozykowa street, and that she had met him Sept. 5. 1939. after she called the em bassy about something. She was living in a store at the time, she said. After Scarbeck established her in the room, she said. "We met almost daily but it was evenings mostly. Unfortunately we had no place to meet in the daytime." - v2 ; j-, I? mfiiiii -Lrm" TEN-SECOND X-RAY DEVELOPER Marvin Hamlin, X-ray technician ot the Mercy Hospital is shown here pull ing th finished X-ray picture out of the new machine recently installed at the hospital for quick, on-the-spot X-rays.
