' j ! The smugglers are no amateurs, French agents pointed out. In stead, they are highly-trained professionals skilled in the use of air plane, small boats and trucks. j French National Security police, working in conjunction with Bri tain's Scotland Yard, said the ring may have had a hand in the sen sational Aga Kahn and Arpels Jewel robberies last summer. Their specialty, however, seems to be traffic in gold and gold pieces. Arrest Three More The tip-off came when French police arrested Frederic Ebel, a Swiss, director of an international "transport agency" in Geneva. He was charged with slipping millions of francs worth of gold into France from Switzerland, j Three additional members have been rounded up. Gerard Goutei and Alwin Kuhn, both pilots, and Pierre Tourais, a jeweler. All were charged with smuggling gold into France from Switzerland, where the market is "free" and gold can be purchased more j cheaply than on the French black market. GouteL 39-year-old Frenchman who was arrested at Lyon, was re- i ported by police to have owned a villa, half of a large apartment house in Switzerland, two air planes and a luxurious apartment at Lyon all the result of smuggl ing profits. Kuhn, 25 -year -old Swiss, was caught immediately: after landing at a small airfield near the French Swiss border. In the plane were 600 pounds of gold, authorities said. Mysterfona "Mr. B That their operations are like something from an E. Philip Op penheim novel is illustrated by an incident which took place last Feb ruary at Dieppe, France, on the Channel coast. Customs officials there arrested three Englishmen and one Frenchman for attempt ing to smuggle 26,000 pounds ster ling into France aboard a small yacht. I Soon, however, a mysterious "Mr. B. arrived on the scene, paid $30,000 bail, and then disap peared with his four friends. The "Mr. B . . later was identified by police as Ebel, Ebel, who already operated two airlines one in England, another in Switzerland then decided to open up a trucking firm between France and Switzerland. Police said the gold was hidden in tubes of aluminum which passed as the official cargo of the trucks. OVermle Druggist Ebel was so greedy for profits at this point that officials say he refused to pay even $759 to one of his henchmen who had managed the syndicate's extension trucking operations in the south of France. Ebel told the trucker that his bill was "too high.- ' Ebel wa arrested through in formation supplied by Richard Ste inworth, Geneva druggist who was caught at Orly airfield, Paris, with a suitcase containing 50 pounds of gold, j 1 I Steinworth, in keeping with the Oppenheim tradition, insisted at first that he was a delegate to the World Health organization in Gen eva, and therefore should be af forded diplomatic : immunity. His request j was; overruled. Seaside Seal Reported as 'Expecting j.
