Hon Book Tells Of German Capture Of Allied Spy Set-Up During World Vkr Two HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE REVTt NEW YORK (fl How German gents literally took over the British-Dutch spy and sabotage ring In Holland (or 18 months dur ing the war is told In a book pub lished here today. The leat shapes up as one of the most amazing ever recorded in the everlasting hush-hush warfare of international secret agents. Titled "London Calling North Pole" and written by H. J Oiskes, the German anti-espionage chief in wartime Holland, the book relates that: 1. Fifty-four British and Dutch agents fell Into German hands dur ing the North Pole operation, as Diver Engaged To Look For Dropped Uppers WINDHAM, N. H. W-A diver has been engaged to probe Shadow take for Lawrence W. Allen's upper plate, ..

Portland Bread Goes Up 1 Cent PORTLAND Wl Bread dis tributed in the Portland area now costs a cent more. The advance, attributed by bak ery Industry spokesmen to higher production costs, priced most brands of one-pound loaves in a 17 to 19-cent range and specialty treads between 21 and 22 cents. One and one-half pound loaves sell at 24-26 eents. , INTERESTING NEW YORK Wl-Central Park 40 green acres in the midst of Manhattan's concrete skyscrapers marks its 100th birthday . today. it was called. Forty-seven died. 2. Nearly 200 drops film air planes of Allied men and material were made into the waiting arms ot German "reception commit tees." 3. Twelve four-engine Allied bombers used in the drops were shot down Immediately afterwards by German night fighters. 4. Allied sabotage, spy and par tisan warfare plans in Holland were so confounded that the Allies would have courted disaster had they tried to land in Holland in 1942 or 1943. These revelations caused such a stir when the book was iirst pub lished in London earlier this year that the dust hasn't settled yet. A member of Parliament. Arthur Lewis, who demanded a public bearing on the affair, says: "We ran up against a stone wall. I am still trying but it seems this is a secret the government wants kept to itself. Yet it is conceded by highly informed sources that the story is substantially correct." In Amsterdam, Dutch officials who served with the Dutch exile Alcoa Purchase Asked Cancelled WASHINGTON Ml Att. Gen. Brownell Monday asked a court order cancelling a contract by Aluminum Co. of America (Alcoa) to buy 1,200,000,000 pounds of aluminum from Aluminum Ltd., of Canada over a six-year period, The Justice Department said a petition filed in U. s. District Court In New York contends the contract "confers competitive ad vantages upon Alcoa, preserves Its positions and powers In an Indus try In which competitive condi tions consistent with law do not exist, and threatens to impede and prevent the creation of such condi tions." i i The petition also said that unless Alcoa is enjoined from entering into similar contracts or arrange ment the purpose of a 1950 anti trust judgment "will continue to be defeated. government in London says Oiskes' account Is basically true. i As for the British Secret Service, usually regarded as the old master of the foreign asent business, it just Isn't talking. -Now 61 years old and a business man in Hamburg, Giskes wrote the book, he says, because Germany broke her pledge not to execute the Allied agents that fell into his hands. ... ' The project began when Oiskes' men pounced on a Dutch agent who had been sending radio mes sages 10 lionaon. Using psychology, the Germans got him to continue to operate his station as If nothing had happened, but to send out carefully faked messages instead of genuine spy reports. . The Dutch agent explains In an epilogue that he had been instruct ed to act that way If caught, that ne transmitted numerous cooea warnings to Londo of the true situation, but that somehow London never caught on. Meantime the British Secret Service, prompted by the German otiicer posing as their agent, poured men and supplies into Hoi' land, landing them by parachute at agreed on points. There the German reception committees, act ing like underground woikers, got an the information possible, lnclud' Ing code words and plans, before clapping the new arrivals in jail. Some of these new men also were worked Into the project. Gradually the fake spy ring built up until at one time it had 14 radio links with London. The Brit ish even sent over such things as sports equipment on call. To keep up the front, the Germans shipped downed English airmen back home by "spy" courier routes, and com- mltted some obvious but Inconse quential acts of sabotago In Hol land for the benefit ot the British. The artificial structuie came tumbling down at last when couple of the captured agents es caped and carried word of the set up pack- nome. But by then tne Allies had lost two years' time in their underground warfare on the Dutch front.1 LlJ PVT. JACK P. MOWN. ita. tioned" t Fort Ord, Calif., if the ion of Mr. and Mrs. A. P.
