PAGE FOURTEEN THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON THURSDAY, SrPTCMBFR 22, 1949 Iron Curtain Has Peepholes Used By U.S. Spies By .1. .1. Meelum (Unital PrM Hi. ft Cormpondrnt) Frankfurt HPi Spies nnd coun- tcr-spie swarm over Germany today and a large part of what America knows about what hap pens behind the Iron Curtain was learned right here. The Information is gathered by the U. S. army's Intelligence divi sion, headquarters In Heidelberg. It Is the organization that came to Germany largely to chase' nazis but now Is saddled with the addi tional task of running down Rus sian agents Instead. Information trickles into the U. S. zone of occupation from across - the borders right up ' against the Iron Curtain the Russian occupation zone of Ger many and the latest convert to de mocracy Russian style, Czechoslo vakia. There Is also Berlin, main American peephole In what Is now Red-dominated Europe. Secrets for sale along the rubble-strewn boulevards of Berlin range from a new minor soviet tank com mander to purported Information on Russian atom bomb experi ments beyond the forbidden Ural mountains. Filed for Reference AH this information, the false as well as the true, is gathered by trained American agents and evaluated, then filed away for fu ture use. A recent Russian deserter, for instance, was able to tell Ameri can authorities all about what the Russians are turning out in a former I. G. Farben chemical plant in the soviet zone city of Halle. The plant has been taken over by the Russians, who opera ate Its a soviet corporation and the deserter worked there.- An extremejy valuable source .(information, on what the Rus- ..Tis are doing wun ineir armies iii Germany are the thousands of trained German officers and sol diers, many of whom travel back and forth, in and out of the Rus sian zone. But the hottest spot for spies right now is the heavily guarded Czech frontier, where almost every day communist fighter and observation planes patrol and sometimes gunfire crackles in the night. Play Dangerous oame Scores of shiftless men, many of them former Sudeten Germans speaking fluent German and Czech, make a living out of sell ing secrets there. Many of these men play dangerously, sen the secrets to both east and west, and often disappear, never to be heard from again. The pipeline to Prague from western Germany Is so good that developments In the communist capital are often known here even before they are published In party line papers in Czechoslovakia. The army's main worry, how ever. Is the number of Russian agents sneaking into Germany disguised as political refugees. It Is believed that there are many such Russian "plants" living here today. . v ' They are sent both to gather information and to keep an eye on legitimate refugees here. So far, alert American counter-spies have been able to prevent their doing any real harm to the legiti mate refugees.

The center of activity Is in Ar kansas, where Dr. O. K. Cosla, formerly of Romania, plans to cultivate drug-producing plants, many of which grow wild in the backwoods of that state. Dr. Cosla believes the Arkan sas farmer soon may begin sup plying the nation with such drugs as belladonna, a narcotic; stram onium, a drug processed from dried jimson weed which gives relief to -asthma sufferers; and ergot, used to control blood hem orrhages and as an anesthetic. Plants Also Produce Heart Stimulant Foxglove, a dotted white and purple tubular flower whose leaves bear the powerful heart stimulant digitalis, also will be grown in Dr. Cosla's medical gar den. In a report to the magazine Industrial and Engineering Chem istry, Dr. Cosla said that to deter mine the best conditions for growing each plant, he will test them in hydropomc installations. In such a technique, the roots are immersed in a water solution Brooks-Scanlon bors or tomatoes each year through hydroponie farming Iodine Now Recovered From Spouting Oil With further development of the drug farms, Dr. Cosla believ es that the southern states even tually can become one of the na tion's principal drug farming and manufacturing centers, thus di verting to the area millions of dollars now spent annually on imports. It was such Importation by the United States that brought Dr. Cosla to this country. His first experiments are being conducted at the College of the Ozarks, Clarksville. Ark. .
