ually slips them into his pocket.
There are no stamps on the let
tiers.
Still so casual in manner that
the average observer would not
even have noticed the passage of
the letters, Orgell wanders over to
desk in the library and rapidly
writes another letter-so import
ant, apparently, that he dared not
carry it with him in the event of
mishap. The letter is sealed
ard handed to the steward.
The library has a great many
visitors. No one seems to be pay
ing any attention to this visitor
or passenger talking to the stew
ard. With quick glance around
him, Orgell takes in everyone
in the library and seems satisfied.
Again he catches the stewards
eve. This time he mods. The
steward opens a closet in the IL
brary, the second one left of the
main aisle on the port side Of

boat q give these details, but l

authorities can examine the Eur

ever may be in that closet will
have been removed). A thin pack
age is taken from its hiding place
and quickly slipped to Orgell,
who covers it with his newspaper
and leaves the ship promptly.
! German secret instructions have
been sent and received-in viola
ton of the federal laws!
Most German ships entering
the Port Of New York arrange So
cial evenings on board when any
where from several hundred to
several thousand persons are en-
tartained. At the conclusion of
these parties so many people leave
that it is impossible keep track of
them and in that crowd much of
the propaganda is smuggled off by
specially chosen Nazi agents. AT
other times, the propaganda comes
consigned to respectable" adj
/ dresses. Each ship has a specific
address or collection of addresses
to which material is sent. The
SIS. st. Louis, which docks at Pier
Sc, for instance, in case customs
officials are interested, has its
anti-semitic propaganda wrapped
up in neat packages and consigned
to the German Book Import Co.,
q Park Place, New York City, or
to A. Bruderhausen Bookshop, Is
West 45th Street, New York City
The German ministry of Propa-
ganda, however, does not always
dare to take a chance on being
caught by addressing anti-semitic
propaganda to respectable book
shops. It prefers to have it snug
gled in in the dead of night when
customs officials are asleep on the
job. And this procedure is under
the personal direction of Guenthe1

ice. Orgell uses men as aids who
were German war veterans, have
proved their allegiance to Hitler
and are active in anti-semitism
and pro-Fascism in this country
Orgell himself is in constant COM
munication, via North German
Lloyd and Hamburg-American
steamships, with Goebbels.
Whenever Orgell needs trusted
men to take messages to and from
the boats as we'll as to smuggle
off material he usually calls upon
the American branch of the Stahl-
helm, or Steel Helmets, which
drills secretly in anticipation Of
Der Tag in this country. Only
when he feels that he may be
watched, or only in the event Of
