The position, of a woman's hair pin jabbed into a fence in Sweden provides a clue in nother real-life thriller. In Berlin, suspicions of military espionage result in the organiia tion of a fantastic propagandists' sideshow and lead to complaints that certain sausages are cold. While some incidents which have come to light in the current spy fever may be deadly serious, a good deal of the excitement is re garded, at least in the West, with signatures. The crush was so great that a state trade organisation set up a mobile sausage and beer can- teen nearby. But Neues Deutschland. East German Communist newspaper, complained: ' "The sausage is cold, and the buffet doesn't open early enough." Pretest Umti The Russians protested to the Americana about the tunnel. First, Sec.

After unnamed sources, evidently within the Army, passed docu ments to newsmen charging that present emphasis on air power could lead only to "national disas ter," there were these quick de velopments: , 1.

More Theories There the official story ends, but the spinning of theories continues. There is curiosity as to why the bottom of a Russian ship should be so interesting that someone the Navy's big carriers could de liver only a "small" strategic punch. The Navy, backed by Pres ident Eisenhower and Secretary Wilson, has pictured its aerial might as tremendous. Sharply worded staff studies cir culating in the Pentagon were quoted today in several newspap ers, including' the New York facts about the Air Force in a high powered publicity campaign. The Air Force struck back at arguments that the Army will be the decisive factor in future con flicts.

Kotov raised the interesting angle of the shape of the eye glass in the mask of the diver spotted by the Russian sail ers. He ssid the window through which the frogman peered was square, or rectangular. That inter ested the BriUsh gr''y. because all the diving outfits used by the British Navy have r o u n d eye glasses. Foreign Eqalsmeat Was some foreigner involved In the business? Or was a British se cret service so crafty that it used foreign equipment as a false clue? Some members of Parliament ex pressed doubt the Russians were very irritated anyway, charged they do considerable spying them selves. It was recalled there were mys terious frogmen around British warships which made a goodwill cruise in Baltic waters last Octo ber, and one Russian even smug gled a camera aboard. While the Crabb case as still a first class mystery the "spy tun nel'' in Berlin was turning into a circus. On April M East Berliners, or 'Russians, discovered a comfor table, well-furnished tunnel, under an area where the Communist East sector of the city joins the Ameri can sector. It was used, the Rus sians charged, to tap wires so that Americans could listen in on Rus sian conversations. "Radar Station" At the American end of the tun nel was a structure resembling a radar station, which the Russians said was a dummy to conceal the tunnel entrance. The tunnel was a great find for Communist propagandists. Press conferences were held in it. ThM tunnel is one of the "sights" of, J 'fW i I OPEN MONDAY AND FRIDAY 12:15 TO 9 P.M. OTHER DAYS 9:30 A.M.
