Europe Produces Fantastic
Cloak and Dagger Incidents
Editor's note: Tlie candor of the
I'. 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.

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. The committee

forest service.
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.

Todds To Receive
Irrigation Wafer
Mr. and Mrs. Howard Todd,
Eagle Point, will receive addi
tional Irrigation WateT under
a water sales contract, Mrs.
Todd ssid today.
The Todds last Tuesday
signed a contract for irrigat
ing 23.48 acres of land with
waste water, after acreage on
the assessment roll was re
ported last Tuesday, it wa
explained. The Todds now
have a little more than 10
acres on tlie assessment rolls
now, it was explained.
Mrs. Todd stated today that
she requested in her petition
for redress of grievances pre
sented to the Eagle Point Irri
gation district board Tuesday
that the diectors personally
refund the $4,500 which it
cost the district to repair can
als after the 1955-56 floods in
addition to other funds.
Eagle Point Irrigation dis
trict board has not yet taken
any action on the Todd posi
tion, but Mrs. Todd said she
would furnish the district with
a "bill of particulars" as the
district's attorney requested
to support her petition for re
dress of grievances.

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
