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

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.

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.
