CAN HUNT'S TOMATO SAUCE WITH EACH 2-POUND PACKAGE i Swiss Capita. City Said Hub of Died Spy Activities Editor's Note: The following dis patch oy Frank H. Bartholomew, president of United Press Interna tional, is based on a thorough in vestigation of Communist espionage activities in Switzerland. On a re cent trip to Europe, Bartholomew spent days in Bern, Zurich and Ge neva, talking with American dip lomats and members of the U.S. counter-espionage services After returning to this country he wrote the following dispatch and checked it again for factual content with his sources in Switzerland. Some of the statements made in this dispatch were contributed to Bar tholomew in writing by his news sources, but because of the secret nature of their work those persons must remain anonymous. The star tling fact that emerges is that Bern has become the international spy center for the Communists and that U.S. counter-intelligence agents believe the Iraqi revolt was "born in Bern." By FRANK k. BARTHOLOMEW President United Press International Copyright. 1958. L UPI ' The Iraqui revolt was "born in Bern," Western counter-intelligence agents indicated to day. - - A sudden increase in the movement of Communist agents by air from Moscow via Prague to Zurich and on to Bern, and of military and political representatives of the United Arab Republic was ob served and in some instances secretly recorded in motion pictures made at airports, this correspondent was told. Bern, because of the neutral position of Switzerland which is free from all blocs either Communist or Western, has been a regular meeting place for the Algerian rebels and their Communist supporters. Here the Lebanon crisis was hatched, and many of the political action and propa ganda plots which are tossed to the surface in the satel lite states, Indonesia, Red China and the Middle East. Western intelligence agents have a label for these, "Born in Bern." It is now attached to the Iraqi revolt. Switzerland has clearly be come the Communist spy cen ter for the Arab world as well as all of Europe. Millions for Spies Bern, the ancient capital, is again the hub of the wheel as it was in World War II, when Allen W. Dulles, now head of the Central Intelli gence Agency in Washington, directed American counter-intelligence from that city. The Soviet intelligence op erations have largely moved from Prague and elsewhere to Bern, this reporter was told by responsible observers. ; Left behind in Prague, be yond the reach of alert Swiss police, is the elaborate plant and equipment for manufac turing false passports and cre dentials "Although the total is hard to ascertain, there is reason to believe that the Commun ists send out an average of $1,000,000 per week from Switzerland to spies, provo cateurs and contraband trad ers for their work in the east ern democracies," Henry J. Taylor, United States ambas sador to Switzerland, told United Press International. Taylor, a trained investiga tor from, years of experience as a, hard-headed journalist and foreign affairs expert, says that this is one of the basic reasons that the Western powers regard Switzerland with its 70 foreign missions from the worlds of Commun ism and democracy as "the No. 1 listening post for Eur ope and the Middle East." Zurich, Switzerland's larg est city, and Geneva, seat of many international conferenc es, have become with Bern the physical contact points for Red Agents operating in the Middle East, France, Western Germany, Britain, Spain, Por tugal and Italy. "Their target is the free world, and they load up their ammunition in Zurich, Gen eva and Bern," Taylor said. Here the agents come to make reports and to receive Af least 16 Dead In Formosa Typhoon Taipeh, Formosa (UPTh At least 16 persons were kill ed, 172 injured and more than 10,000 left homeless when a typhoon ripped across For mosa today. m m m m. m m m m m m. m mm 1 You I i cairt buy k 1 better W$r i suqar! CjSSS orders for future " activities and faked credentials for im plementing them. Transfer of currencies from the issue of one nation to that of another is facilitated, since Switzerland has recognized not only the Western powers and Russia but also the lat- ter's satellites including Red China and Bulgaria. The Un ited States recognizes neither of the latter. Both are heavily represented in Bern. A second reason the trans fer of spy activities was a vantageous to the Reds is be cause of Switzerland's central location as the hub of a com plex of modern rail and air lines fanning out in all direc tions. . , . - Zurich's Kloton airport has one of the heaviest year-round traffic loads in all Europe, with direct daily schedules to Moscow via a change of airlines in Prague. Careful of Lavt The secondary route for So viet exchange, . equally - fast regular, is via the Vienna gateway. No Russian airline or aircraft is permitted - to fly into Switzerland itself, where national - feeling ap pears to be solidly anti-Cotn-munist. Switzerland is the apex of the triangle and equally ac cessible from all parts of the Arab world, which itself spreads over a distance equal to that from Hawaii to Ber muda. Many Arab capitals are closer' to Bern than to each other. "The Communists havi op erated with a careful eye to the strict Swiss laws against espionage," this reporter was told in Zurich, "even while they secretly abuse the funda mental laws protecting free dom of the individual. "The gathering place or agents and principals, and the 'cashier's office for payments is rotated among the various satellite embassies and mis sions in Bern. "Important gatherings of Communist agents seldom are held in the large embassy of the U.S.S.R. itself. The Krem lin doesn't want to take a chance on an upset or arrest that will directly reflect on the U.S.S.R. Bicj and Costly "They plant their agents in their international conference delegations under all kinds of covers, palm them ofi as chauffeurs of the Red ambas sador's cars in Bern, which crives them a ffood run of the country and in other ways rotates their contacts con stantly." This correspondent recall ed that in the first atomic bomb testing at Bikini, which was opened to selected pro fessional newspapermen from all nations of the world, the Russian "journalist" by his own admission turned out to be the commanding officer of the Bureau of Docks and Yards for the Red navy. The Communist intelligence $100 Million Oil Deal Due Oct. 1 Dallas. Tex. (UPI) A S100 million oil deal will be consummated by Oct. 1 when Maenolia Petroleum Co. pur chases Freeport Sulphur com pany's interest in Lake Wash ington oil and gas field near New Orleans. Langbourne , M. Williams, president of Freeport, an nounced Wednesday the total consideration to be received by Freeport is $100 million cash, part to be paid by Mag nolia and part from the sale of a reserved production pay ment. Berry Picker Stung By Hornets Recovering Murphy, N. C. (UPI) Coroner J. C. Townson re covered today from hornet stings suffered while he was picking berries. Townson said he was stung on both hands and "the next thing I knew I was here in the hospital." Westerners are sweet on Spreckels 5'5 Sugar! web centering in Bern is an enormous and expensive op eration and calls for large scale measures in counter espionage by all the Western powers, Ambassador Taylor said. None of this intensifying activity between the world's major opposing forces is visi ble to the nation's thousands of seasonal tourists. Yet. the cold war is very hot here in deed and much which breaks from the four corners of the world has its real start in Bern. Trim young Swiss soldiers' everywhere Switzerland's ready army of 604,000 is the largest in Western Europe create a feeling that the na tion's tranquillity and neu trality are not to be lightly challenged. None of the ac tivity "of spying and counter spying is allowed to touch Stzrland itself. -4 Growing Problem Tourists throng the lake ex cursion boats, the buses bound for the chalets at snow-line of the many Alpine peaks, take leisurely tea on the terraces of hotels or stroll the streets of the old cities, unaware, of the growing army of secret agents among them. But to Ambassador Taylor it is a "growing and relent less problem, for the security of the United States is at stake." In Zurich I asked if the supply of fraudulent passports and documents from Prague was a serious menace to xne Western nations. My inform ants said: Q "They worried us for while. The counterfeits ; are excellent; often only a labora tory test of the paper itself will show it to b imitation. "We have evolved counter -measures of our own which art not ineffectual. Frequent ly, for reasons of our own, we permit known or suspect ed agents to enter Western nations and even expedite the work they are attempting. Often our own men travel with them. And in sucn counter-spy operations are the unsung heroes of the cold war. "The Communist spy con trol has a great deal of ego, and we are not adverse to helping build it up.
