m ,'!;(- I Remnants Of German Spy Ring Seized BY RICHARD CUSHING SHANGHAI, April 15 (P) Seven axis nationals whom U. S. investigators said were the rem nants of a once-powerful nazi py network which continued to operate in the Orient four months after Germany's surren der were arrested today. This culmination of months of Intensive work by U. S. officers was one of the most important roundups of international fig ures yet conducted in the Far East. They included four Ger mans, two Italians and one Japa nese. Face Trial All are charged with war crimes activities hostile to the United States. They presumably will be tried in China, although it was predicted earlier that they would be returned to Germany on the ship leaving June 15 with German repatriates. Investiga tors, however, said there were sufficient witnesses in China to testify against them. An official statement said the men obtained information on Chinese and Amerioan troop, air and fleet movements by "break ing, buying and stealing secret codes and transmitting informa tion to Tokyo via clandestine radio stations." The spy ring, authorities de clared, was cloaked by German commercial firms in China and was aided by the German em bassy. The statement said es pionage agents between VE and VJ Days aided the Japanese by supplying information on a planned nationalist drive in re gard to Luichow peninsula of South China. The group is charged with operating a bureau to infiltrate nazi spies throughout China, Manchuria and Mongolia and to spot allied military movements by monitoring broadcasts and obtaining codes and ciphers. German radio stations in Shanghai and Canton, investiga tors said, monitored broadcasts of U. S. planes flying the Hima layas. Fleet and convoy mes sages were monitored by agents who feared an amphibious land' ing on the South China coast.

SAN FHANCISCO, a EXbrook 8321 m Red Cross Drive Lags The Klamath county Red Cross quota of $43,100 today lacked almost S20.000 of that amount, and although the drive was slated to wind up by April 1, the outlook was far from en couraging this week that the full quota would be obtained for quite some time. Chairman Robert A. Thomp son urged Klamath folks to re spond to the call from the Red Cross and inasmuch as Klamath county faces its largest peace time quota for continued war work, Thompson said today the lack of interest by the individ ual resident was most discourag ing. Four additional Klamath firms joined the $100 club with in the past week. Donations of $100 each were sent in by Klamath Lumber and Box com pany, Klamath Ice and Storage company, Harry Hafter, furni ture, and a $500 check was re ceived from Weyerhaeuser Tim ber company.

Albert Knorp, secretary of the American Mining Congress, pointed out that gold is bringing prices in Egypt, Turkey, Chile and Brazil ranging from $43 to $120 an ounce but that the U. S. treasury pays a price of only $35 an ounce and forces American producers to sell only to it. Nevertheless,. Knorp said, about $85,000,000 worth of gold was exported from the United States in 1944, primarily as fabricated gold used in art work.

The grains to which the industry is now restricted, are of a variety and grade not normally consumed by the people of the world as food. LESS BEER AND ALE Altogether, the brewing industry 'is using 30 less materials than in 194"). This results in a proportionately lower production. But since the current demand for beer and alft is aliout 25 greater than a year ago, the real shortage is nearer 50.
