Recent Spy Charges Tarnish FRANKFURT 'UPII - West Germany's most famoui spy chief Reinhard GuStav Gehlen, still is an awesome man of mystery to most Germans but the legend of his infallibility in the cloak and dajger game has been shaken. The recent trial of two Gehlen aides on charges of being Soviet spies has damaged the prestige ' of one of Europe's most suceess ful anti-Communist spy-masters. His Federal Intelligence Agencv (FIA) once commanded unchal lenged respect in the West Ger man parliament. Now pallia' ment's three parties are demand ing an FIA shakeup. The West German government estimates there are 16.000 Com munist spies in the country. This, added to the number of Western agents and counterspies here, in dicates that about one person in every 2,000 in the country is an intelligence agent. Western agents are fairly easy to locate. A spook's tour "spook" is cloak and dagger lingo for agent of West Germany could start here in Frankfurt. Cl In Charge U.S. Central Intelligence Agen cy ICIAI local headquarters are said to be in the "Little Penta gon" the giant pre-war I. G. Far-i en Co. office building which Al lied bombers spared for post-war use as U.9. Army headquarters here. The CIA governs most Allied intelligence in West Germany and it reaches out in many directions. Within anion's roar of Frank furt's famed zoo is a drab brick turn-o(-thc-century building whose occupants sjiecialiie in sneaking Into the Soviet Union. The build ing houses the National Alliance of Russian Solidarists (NISI, a nervous but spirited band of ex Soviet citizens, including Red Army deserters. It also includes at least one foimer assassin of the Soviet KGB espionage organ ization who came to kill the NTS chief but defected instead. '.

All chamber members in good Cave Houses Moon Tests BEND (UPII Preliminary tests1 which may be the key to survival - for the first American landing en the moon were performed Wcdms-I day in Derrick Cave, a long lava cavern in the rugged Devils Gar den country northeast of Fort Rock. Witnessing the tests were Ninth American Aviation, Inc. personnel. . a representative of the Oregon De ; partment of Planning and, ; Development, lunar geologist Dr. ; Jack Green, and a representative ' of Pacific Northwest Bell, the ; firm which provided planes for the test. v Several tons of railroad steel were taken into the cave for the density test, and attempts were made to locate the bundled steel through use of gravity instruments. A plane will be used later In a (est of airborne instruments. Dr. Green said various types ol rock will be collected in Central , Oregon to determine water con- lent that will serve as a standard for pro-lunar landing studies. a non-Communist port or wherev er a Moscow delegation arrives in the West. The leaflets are cred ited with inspiring 300 Red Army defections during the 1H53 East German workers' revolt. But the CIA is more interested in the NTS' success in penetrat ing Soviet territory. A favorite method is said to be putting agents ashore on East Germany's Baltic coast and farther north into Soviet-seized Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, whose populations re portedly do not frown on and Communist activity. Six miles outside Frankfurt in the green foothills of the Tau- nus Mountains, is another cloak and dagger center, the U.S. Army's Camp King. The military intelligence post serves as the cenler for interro gating defectors from commun ism. A recent guest in the well- guarded base was Maj. Ryszard Obacz, the Polish air force offi cer who flew with his wife and two sons in a Polish trainer to West Berlin. Phantom Corps Nestled in the post-war glass and steel office buildings of Co logne, Hamburg and Duesseldorf are the unmarked offices of Beh len's phantom corps of 5,000 agents whose network shoots out to the Soviet Ural Mountains and to Communist China. But the nerve center is in Mu nich. The Bavarian capital has polit ical intrigue in its blood. Adolf Hitler made his famed bcerhall putsch there. Recently, French foes of President Charles de Gaulle tried to use Munich as a base of operations. Since 1946 it's been Gehlen's home. Gehlen, 61, turned up in Bava ria when American armies swept across southern Germany in 1945. With him were four dozen large crates of files of intelligence re ports on the Soviet Union during the war he had headed German Army intelligence in Russia. Washington put Gehlen back in business in 11146 very quietly. Si lence was his golden rule. Even though the Soviets, it is standing will receive in the mail this week their ballots for the annual election of five new mem bers to the boai-d of directors The slate of 10 nominees, offered at last Wednesday's board lunch eon, is composed of Fred Eh lers, Harry Glesin, Dick Green, Henry Kerr, Charlie Ramp, Paul Surprenant, Dorman Turner, Tru man Runyan, Rod Murray and fed Hyde. The five nominees re ceiving the largest number of votes will be elected to a three- year term on the board to replace retiring members James Stilwell, James Bocchi, Noel Flynn, John Mochl and Adolph Zamsky Jr Ballots must be returned to the chamber office no later than 10 a.m. on election day, Wednesday, Sept. 4. Among the many letters the chamber receives from persons who have visited Klamath Coun ty, one received last week from a Sacramento resident was the best of the kind it is always a pleasure to read. The writer of the letter started out by saying: "On the 24th of June I visited Klamath Falls. I thought it was tlie most beautiful place 1 have ever visited, and I might add 1 have been all over the South Pacific and Asia. "Among the places I visited were Crater tjike and Odell Lake. Even Agency Ijike and Upper Klamath Lake were just out of this world. There is just no place like it. I just wanted to drop you a letter telling you how much I enjoyed my stay and to say that 1 would like to make Klamath Falls, Ore., my home. ". . . I was burn in Hawaii, but the beautiful stale of Oregon is even more beautiful than Ha waii, the tourist state of the Union." 1KT SUPERSTITION CINCINNATI (UPH - National League umpire Doug Harvey has a pet superstition.

Sometimes he wears a mustache. He always carries a pistol. His floodlit and armed, guarded house has one sign: "Dangerous Dog." Few persons see Gehlen. But the Communists claim his hands reach into their preserve. They blame his agents or the 1956 Hungarian uprising, among other things. Western sources credit Geh len's organization with netting a Czechoslovak spy ring that oper ated throughout the country. An other major Gehlen coup was planting an agent in East Ger man Communist leader Walter Ulbricnt cabinet. Gehlen's Rival Gehlen once had a West Ger man rival. The challenger was Dr. Otto John who defected to East Germany in 1954 but re turned later and served a term in a West German prison. John, a hard drinker with a prima don na's temperament, had headed West Germany's Office for the Defense of the Constitution. The office is an FBI-like body hand ling internal counter-espionage. John early in 1954 flew to Washington to seek dominance over Gehlen. Former CIA direc tor A'lcn Dulles turned him down The CIA until 1955 kept direct control ol FIA, activity. Dulles decision to stick by Gehlen ap parently nudged John into his double defection. Although espionage headquar ters may operate elsewhere in Germany, the hornet's nest is Berlin. In the U.S. sector of West Berlin, behind a long, high red brick wall, is the center of the nest. Like the tw in "U.S. Mission" in Stuttgart, the building in West Berlins "Little America" or 'Golden Ghetto" has a steady stream of visitors with the crew cut look of CIA. The men in ap pearance all could have played left half at Ohio State.

That's the conclusion of the Travelers Insurance Companies' annual compilation of records of street and highway accidents na tionally, based on state motor ve hicle records. The company also reports peo ple cause more accidents than roads, weather or defective ve-; hides. More than 38 per cent of the fatal accidents which took 40,500 lives in 1962 occurred on week ends, fl.420 on Saturday. In 1961 Saturday also accounted for the greatest number of deaths 7,670 of a (olal of 37,600. Most accidents occur In clear weather and on dry roads. In ilia, 34,400 were killed in perfect weather. Otlier totals were: 1,100 in foa: 3.600 in rain, and 1,400 in snow. Icy roads were present at only 1,400 fatal accidents with 31,640 persons killed in dry weather.

The men behind the red brick wall in West Berlin can point to at least one trumpeted success. Joke (In Reds In 1955, U.S. agents dug a 500 yard long tunnel under the East Berlin border. At the Communist end of the tunnel they tapped the telephone and telegraph lines servicing Soviet Army headquar ters in Germany. The tapped lines poured out a flood of secret data. Almost a year later the Red Army stumbled onto the tun nel. West Berliners still laugh at Uie'Communists about it and some "Spook's" little joke. When the amazed and enraged Soviets crept into the tuncl, they lound a sign at tne point wncre it passed under the East-West border. The sign told the Rus sians they were now entering West Berlin. The Berlin Wall presents no dif ficulties that the Communists cannot overcome for a nickel. It costs only a nickel 20 pfen nigs to use the Communist-operated elevated railway running over the wall. At the Eastern side stations are jack-booted and armed East German guards and overly-polite functionaircs who, defectors testify, can easily pho tograph a Western tourist's pass port during the "routine" inspec tion. There is no barrier to Com munist spies at the Western sta tions. It is only at the airline, auto bahn and train exits to West Ger many that Communist agents must trouble to show a forged passport. Allied agents in West Germany are said to have had a baJ week when they fail to turn up a few dozen East Ger man agents. Spying Is 'Routine' More than 2.000 Germans have been convicted of spying in West Germany since the war. But al most 20,000 spy recruits have been less trouble they turned themselves in to West German authorities. Since four out of five West Ger mans have relatives in East Ger many, the Communists have felt lions of rules of the road, ac cording lo The Travelers. This includes excessive speed, driving on the wrong side of the road, fail ing to yield the right of way and reckless driving. Driving after drinking is, of course, an open invitation to the undertaker. Driving too long with out rest is another prime cause of accidents. Of the drivers in fatal acci dents in 1962, 43.800 were male and B.400 were female. It is esti mated that females constitute about 30 per cent of all licensed drivers and male drivers about 70 per cent. The exposure factor. the amount of driving done by men and women and the condi tions under which the driving is none, are unknown. Consequently. there's no proof that women arc cither better or worse drivers than men. Young drivers had the poorest record, increasing their involve ment in fatal accidents from 27.3 per cent in 1961 to 28.9 per cent in 1962. Their participation in non fatal accidents increased from 23.3 per cent in 1961 to 27.3 per cent in 1962. Just arrived! 625 Novelty weaves or Save by Sewing!

EASTMAN Game Biologist On Aug. 20, the Oregon State Game Commission will convene in Portland to establish the seasons and limits for the multi tude of upland game species found throughout the state. For a number of species for which census information was complete, seasons and limits were estab lished on July 16. Of local interest, the dove sea son will start on Sunday, Sept. 1, which is the earliest allow able date under federal law, and will continue throughout the month. Only a slight reduction in me numbers ot doves was noted on a recent census com pared to last year but, as usual, the determining factor in the suc cess of the season is whether or not late August storms will cause many of the birds to migrate south, as so often happens. Bag limits remain unchanged at 10 per day, and 20 in possession. Also starting Sept. 1 will be the silver gray squirrel season for that part of the county west of Highway 97. This season will run to the end of October with a daily and possession limit of four. Much of the principle squirrel hunting area locally is subject to fire closure for tlie early part of the season. The forest grouse I blue and ruffed) season has been set for Sept. 7 through 22 for eastern Oregon, which now includes all of Klamath County as the result of, the revision of west side man agement units. I Although the birds are not numerous generally, some good hunting is to be found along the foothills of the Cascades north of Odessa Creek. Ruffed grouse more commonly are found in wooded areas close to streams and the Fort Klamath country is1 a good bet. Ridge hunting higher in the mountains throughout the county is the best bet for a mess of blue grouse. Daily limit is and possession limit, 6. The chukar and Hungarianl partridge season has been set to open Sept. 7 and limits have been increased to a daily limit of 8 and possession 16, including one or both species. Only the chukar is to be found in Klamath County and the few established populations have been given a boost with the release of an ad ditional 1,083 birds this summer. The closing date for this sea son will not be set until Aug. 20, pending the results of brood counts. A brief sage grouse season will be held from Sept. 7 througn 15 in Harney County and that part of Malheur County south of Highway 20. Hunters are allowed only two birds daily and in pos session.

Soon another car arrives and the driver steps out, plucks out the packet and drives off. The black sedan then leaves. Told of this, West German po lice made a casual inspection.

As this is written the two cars still rendezvous. 20 to the setting of pheasant and quail seasons now that all neces sary brood information has been gathered. Annual inventor ies of the production of young birds are essential in tlie deter mination of seasons because of their importance in the kill. The inventory of brood produc tion is normally conducted at the end of July and early August on permanent census strips for a comparison of observations from year to year. Counts are con ducted only in the early morn ing and occasionally late eve ning hours when broods are ac tive and often exposed along roads. Locally, 189 miles of census route are traveled over a period of two weeks to determine trends in pheasant and valley quail pro duction. An additional 23 miles of census strip is covered on moun tain quail and chukar partridge in tlie Klamath River canyon. Incidental to these primary counts are systematic observa tions of the density of doves and rabbits. Brood information is cor related with other census efforts at various times of the year to further substantiate findings. The results of the 1963 census locally indicate a reduction in pheasant production which may be partly accounted for by the heavy cover apparent this year. Valley quail production shows some improvement in total birds following the low of 1962. Moun tain quail also apparently are at higher level than in the past three years. Little change is not ed in tne raooit populate, over.jy 1962 which was low in cottontails Unfortunately, the delay in fin al setting of upland game seasons nccqssitated by completion of brood surveys in August causes a delay in the printing and dis tribution of the synopsis of regu lations, which normally is not available until early September after some seasons have started All license agencies are provided with season summaries until the synopsis becomes available I 7 wmiiwriwwwijiuiiwij)i I ' ,' Y4 1 ' ' i S 'J " " W ; DlGSEt.
