LOS ANGELES, Mar. 6. (UP)
A white woman and a cultured

federal operatives as key figures
in an international spy market"
which supposedly pilfered war Sc
crets from the United States navy
and sold them in foreign coun-
tries.
Working in secrecy by official
order from the state department,
federal agents and naval intelli-
gence men sought to unravcl a
widespread espionage plot which
repeatedly has resulted in ped
ding not only charts of fleet ma
neuvers but also gunnery and air
craft secrets. ,.' =.
An alarm was broadcast to all
American ships bound for the orr

whether the cultured oriental
has fled. -. -~o
Names of the persons sought
were in possession of the govern

graduate of an American uniNer-
sity, and, according to govern
ment information, was the pay
master for the "spy market" He
paid regular salaries to agents
engaged in footing war secrets
from battleships.
The order of secrecy from the
state department was made to
prevent international compiled

the doleful farewells bade the various
animals in the menagerie when the
time comes to remove them to another
room, or another school, prove it
beyond doubt, Miss Scott believes.
Funds for carrying out the circulating
menagerie idea are somewhat limited,
but the children get along with what
they have, and hope that some day
there will be enough pets to 60 around,
so that every room can have some all
the time. instead Of for q week or two
at q time.
At the Congress Heights School the
children have gone in for dietary
experiment in as big way as litter
of four white rats will permit. There
were i've, but one died.
The rats are kept in different cages
and fed different diets. A chart IL
kept of their weights, so that visual
record can be seen of what lack Of
sugar, meat or milk or some other
important item in a normal diet will
do Eventually they hope to see what
effect diet has on the second genera
ton Of the family.
That particular experiment touches
on the field Of science, intoxicating the
scientific method Of approaching q
question, but that is the secret of the
science teacher. The pupils have not
been warned it may aid them in
studying such formidable subjects as
biology. chemistry or physics.
Bees, gold fish and a dozen other
species are included in the circulating

the nature study program is the at
tacnment the children form for the
