S. state ll.parlmrnl about the Intelligence ntUhion of an Ameri can plane over Russia caused astonishment. Actually, espionage is as old as war itself inmni ir the whirlpool of spy activity 'between the VI est and Cuntmunist world to day and it has produced some fan tastic cloak-aud-daRger incidents. By JACK V. FOX UFI Correspondent On June 8, 1957, a head less, handless corpse in a frogman's suit bobbed to the surface of the English Chan nel off Chichester Harbor. A coroner said it was the body of Commander Lionel Crabb, Britain's frogman hero who won seven medals for his wartime exploits. Crabb had disappeared 14 months before, just after an gry Soviet naval officers re ported a frogman swimming aruund between three visiting Soviet warships docked in Portsmouth Harbor. Among them was the new cruiser. O r d ) o n i kidze, which had brought Nikita Khrushchev and Nicolai Bulganin to Bri tain on a slate visit. Mystery Never Cleared The mystery of what he was doing or how he met death has never been cleared. Prime Minister Anthony Eden said: "It would not be in the public interest to disclose the cir cumstances in which Com mander Crabb is presumed to have met his death." The Russians never said anything more. But it was fairly obvious he was inspecting the hull of the cruiser and quite possible the Soviets caught and killed him. Crabb was one of the dead men who tell the tale of espionage. Those who get away rarely tell. Poison Dart Victim Another victim of the end less cloak and - dagger strug gle was Marcel Leopold, a mysterious Swiss businessman who was believed an arms smuggler and middleman for Western intelligence. Two years ago Leopold strolled into the elevator of his Geneva apartment house and fell dead when he reach ed his door, A poison dart was found in his back. The assassin had shot Leopold with a blow gun and the Swiss agent apparently never even felt the tiny metal needle. Captain Eugene Karpe was the naval attachee at the U.S. Embassy in Bucharest. In 1950, a Communist spokes man In Romania charged that Karpe was "an American spy." A few weeks later his body was found beside a railroad j track near Salzburg. Austria. ! Western inteilieence aspnts ' said Karpe had been pushed i from a speeding train. Switzerland and Austria are the favorite nesting places j of both Eastern and Western agents. Austrian intelligence sources estimate at least 5.000 persons in the little neutral nation are being paid for espionage data. Thorn To Communists But Berlin is even busier and, as a spy center, is a thorn to the Communists - located as it ii within East Germany. In April, 1956, indignant Soviet diplomats called in newsmen to display a 1,600- foot tunnel running from West Berlin into the eastern sector and intercepting the main telephone line between the East German capital and Mos- cow. The Soviets accused West ern intelligence agents of tap ping the lines and protested. The American government re fused to discuss the case in public. Italian observers consider it an open secret that Ameri can airplanes have flown over the Communist satellites to photograph military installa tions. There is good evidence that American agents have not only flown over but set foot in the Soviet Union. Last year, a West German naval officer, Lt. Horst Lud wig, was convicted of handing Western secrets to Soviet agents. Among that informa tion, Horst said, were reports that American torpedo boats were dropping off agents at night along the Soviet Black Sea coast. Mystery of Submarines One of the most fabulous operatives is Reinhard Geh lin, chief of West Germany's intelligence service. He has not allowed himself photo graphed since 1943 - when he served Hitler as an agent. His main job is counter-espionage against Communist agents and he is reported to have a $7 million budget for the job. One of the biggest myster ies this year was the case of the "submarines" reported by Argentina to have been trap ped in Golfo Nuevo of the desolate coast of Patagonia. After three weeks of oper ations, the government report ed the ships had eluded the Argentine navy. Argentina queried all coun tries with sizeable navies but none reported any craft near Argentina waters. Former! Printer Dodge Questions At Bombing Trial Portland -HIT- A former Oregonian printer pleaded the Fifth Amendment Monday in the trial of Levi McDonald, accused of masterminding the bombings of 10 newspaper trucks. Robert 'F. Burgess refused to answer on grounds it might incriminate him when asked by the prosecution whether he saw McDonald the night of Jan. 31 when trucks in Portland and nearby Oregon City were dynamited and the night the state claims McDon- ld was helping make the bombs. Knew Accused Burgless refused to answer whether he was near the place where the bombs are alleged to have been made. Burgess admitted that he knew McDonald, and describ ed himself as being "locked out" by the Oregonian. The Oregonian and Oregon Journal were struck by the stereotypers Nov. 10, and oth er unions have refused to cross their picket lines. McDonald is a former stere-otyper-union negotiator. Earlier, Francis Edgeson, the deaf-mute father-in-law of a confessed dynamiter of the trucks, testified in sign lan guage that he saw McDonald directing the preparation of the bombs. Chased From Garage Edgeson's son-in-law, Ed ward Snyder, has pleaded guilty to the dynamiting. Edgeson said he saw Mc Donald directing Edward Sny der, his brother, Charles, and Gerald Couzens tying sticks of dynamite together in his garage. He said that when McDonald saw him watching, he chased him out. Edward Snyder, his broth- ers, Charles ana William, ana Couzens all have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sen tence on the charge of de struction of property by dynamite.

Salem -IUPD- The governor's committee on natural resour ces voted Tue.sday to ask Ore gon's congressional delegation to incorporate standards of the revised Neuberger bill for an Oregon Dunes national park into similar legislation pending in Congress. This bill, which the commit tee favors, was introduced by the late Sen. Richard L. Neu berger (D-Ore.) last January based on recommendations of the committee, giving' Oregon more of a say-so in establish ment of the park. The revised bill contains a provision for boundaries ana spells out other requirements. Authorizes Money Reviewed today were nine other bills that have been in troduced which deal with the proposed Oregon dunes park including the latest, the Sea- ton bill. The latter authorizes $25 million for establishment of the Dunes park and two other national seashore areas in other parts of the country. The committe said it wants the Seaton bill and the others to conform to the revised Neu. berger measure. Proposals Submitted Dan Allen, committee ex ecutive secretary, said one part of the revised Neuber ger bill may be unconstitu tional a part which states that the park may not be en larged without the approval of the Oregon Legisalture and the governor.

Stone, who administers for est service activities in Ore gon and Washington, took time off from a tour of the Rogue River national forest ranger districts Monday, to address the Medford Cham ber of Commerce roundtable luncheon on the meaning of multiple-use of national for ests. Multiple-use in relation to forest! means, according to Stone, the management of all forest resources in such a combination that they will adequately meet the needs of all interested groups in the country. Example of Principle An example of this princi ple, Stone said, is the serv ice's policy toward cutting roadside timber in the forests. The chief consideration in cutting this timber, he said, is to try and get some mone tary value out of it, while still keeping the roadside as scenic and attractive as possible. To do this the forest service allows those trees which are unhealthy or unattractive to be cut-which gives some re turn on the timber value-and leaves those trees which are healthy and attractive stand-ing-which still maintains the scenic value of the roadside. Stone called a forest "an interrelated community of plants and animals (man in cluded), each having its own needs." These needs have to ba met in such a way that the satisfaction of one will not prevent the satisfaction of an other and this is where the multiple-use concept comes in. An example of this is the regulation of deer In order to keep them from eating too many small trees, he observed. Management Needed Reforestation and intensi fied forest management are also needed, but these will I not increase the services of the forest enough to meet the needs of the future, he noted. There Is a bill now before Congress, he said, which con tains many of the policies fol lowed by the forest service since its establishment in 1905 and which will name all of the uses of national forests. It would set down the policy that national forests be man aged under sustained yield and multiple use principles. A multiple-use plan would set up "management prescrip tions" or guiding principles which will provide for the co ordination of all uses, he said. However, the key men in tions from the audience. Economic Standpoint !n reply to one of these concerning the forest service' opinion of a possible revival of the Civilian Conservation corps, Stone said the service is against it from the stand point of economy. The good of the youths is another thing, lie said, but when looking at it from an economical point of view, more good will be done the forests dollar for dollar under present methods as compared to the employment of CCC boys. These youths are gen erally from the ages of 15-19, he noted, and would have to be trained to gain those skills necessary for forest work. Besides the training involv ed, he pointed out that much forest work can now be done better and more cheaply with machinery than with man power. Another person asked Stone what the difference is be tween national forests and na tional parks. There Is a great difference, he answered, be cause national parks are maintained for recreational purposes in their natural state, with hunting, timber harvest and many more other forest uses prohibited, whereas, na tional forests allow these things in addition to recrea tional use. National parks are not adaptable to multiple-use practices, he said, because of these restrictions. Affirmative Answer When asked if forests desig nated as "wilderness areas" are compatible with the multiple-use concept, Stone re plied in the affirmative. Wilderness areas are usual ly part of a larger forest, he noted, and these areas are often designated as such be cause they are relatively in- accessable to a large segment of the population or are oth erwise prohibitive to wide- spread use. Tlie problem with these areas Is "how much should These studies are being made s; rspidly u pesaibls, he added. In response to a question concerning timber harvesting end mineral righti. Stone said any mineral claims filed after July 23, 1955, do not lntericr with the government's use of the surface, logging included. Those claims which were filed before that date, how ever, prevent any use being made of the surface without the owners permission. These old claims are now being re viewed, he said, to determine the surface rights of those claims which might not be considered valid. Stone was introduced by Rogue River National Forest Supervisor C. E. Brown who is accompanying him on the tours of the ranger districts. Stone toured the Applcgate district Monday, visited the Ashland district today and will go to Klamath tomorrow and Union Creek and Prospect districts on Thursday. IAII TRlBUNt Mi'orJ, Or.

Asked if the area south of Crater Lake is designated as a wilderness area, he said "no," but said it Is called a "limited" area. This area, and many others like it, were put in the limited category, he said, until complete studies of them could be made to de termine if they should be made into wilderness areas or' ( "The taste is to a 'Tee'" SAYS MR.
