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"

But the CIA is more interested
in the NTS' success in penetrat

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

Nestled in the post-war glass

agents whose network shoots out
to the Soviet Ural Mountains and
to Communist China.
But the nerve center is in Mu

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.

Among the many letters the

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

I might add 1 have been all over

"Among the places I visited

cial photograph of him is 20
years old. 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

Czechoslovak spy ring that oper

other major Gehlen coup was
planting an agent in East Ger

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

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.

Game Biologist Reviews
Upcoming Hunt Seasons
By DAN L. 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. Primary attention will be given
by the Game CommissiM on Aug.

Soon another car arrives and the
driver steps out, plucks out the

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
