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

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."

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
