al game of rummy and have been known to drink a little beer. We're lit a fact l was not a family man, goodness knows what would become of me. have perhaps Mrs Barlow to thank for that.
 Being one myself, l admit a fish erman is of a bestial nature. He takes his life in his own hands, when out upon the high seas. When he fishes he fishes night and day in order to make both ends meet. When he comes to town. Is no long CT a fisherman. He becomes the beast. Uncle Sam saw fit to accom- modate this man by issuing licenses to operators of beer parlors so he could satisfy his desires and whims. Among Us fishermen one naturally hears plenty of talk that is in the fisherman's language. I have repeat edly heard them say that a fisher man cannot have the privileges here as shown him in other towns. One fellow told me one time that he got somewhat drunk and was run in on that charge. and was fined as he thught a little too severely. At that time the dam was being built; upon being told of that, his answer was No wonder, few more fines like that and I'll have the damn dam paid for
 We'll, now I say regardless of q mans bad habits, these licensed houses are what bring the fisher men to town. If he is treated rightly he stays, if he is treated as he thinks, wrongly. he just pulls his hooks and flags to some other town where his money is welcomed. In conclusion may I add that meetings such a sthe other night are a good thing 1or any community. Proper advertising should announce the event and a large han secured so everyone could attend. But I still maintain. one has to criticize when criticism is due. May this town of Wrangell not only be a beauteous town but let's start in and make 1t prosperous town.

The above sensational and init
. mate details are only a small
part of what DR.. Griebl and Miss
Moog testified to Mr.. Turrou and
which he verified, as the rest of
his story will show.-D. G. W.
Spy Bases Discussed.
1t was that night that Pheiffer
and Griebl discussed the -four main
spy bases set up in America and the
need OF setting up more. The four
already In operation were at New
York, Seattle, Newport News, Va,
and Montreal, Canada. In addition.
there were a number Of sub-bases.
such as at Boston, Buffalo, Bristol.
Philadelphia, San Diego, Texas, etc.
At New York, Griebl, Schluter
and Lonkowski, until he fled, were
the chiefs. The Seattle base was
operated by spy chief whose name
Griebl swore he didn't know. That
may be, since the Seattle base acted
independently of New York and
shipped to Germany via Japan.
Who headed the base at Newport
News, Va, we never were definitely
able to establish. We know the
name and address of the man who
was in charge Of the Montreal base,
which covered all of Canada and
part OF the New England States, but
we turned that over to MIS-, the
British Military Intelligence, and I
do not want to interfere with their
investigation.
British Agent at Work.
A British special agent, Guy Lid
dell, came here to complete that
phase of the spy ring investigation.
He conferred with Maj. Joseph N.
Dalton of G-2, the United States
Military Intelligence, and myself, at
New York. Then he went out on
his own.
The spy chief at Montreal was
employed in an aircraft designing
plant. Every now and then he
shipped three to five rolls of film tc
Germany, each roll containing sc
negatives of confidential plane de-
signs. He also stole and copied air.
plane blueprints and shipped them
to Germany. In addition he acted
as a clearing agent for all Nazi spy
activities in Canada.

pay will be saved for him, and II
ever he should be recalled to Ger
many it will be waiting for him."
No demand was made on Kate
Moog that she give an answer that
day. The talk drifted to other
things.
They had warned Griebl not to
contact them or Col. Busch again
about anything concerning the spy
ring or the property in Giessen
they were going to get for him by
squeezing Berliner. They told him
it would not be wise for him to risk
being seen with them again.
On June %, 1887, Griebl and Miss
Moog went to Bremen, and on the
same day Griebl telephoned Pheiffer
at his office at the Marine Mach
richten Stelle to remind him of the
date they had to meet again.
Secret Device Bought.
Pheiffer arranged to meet them
at the Hotel Columbus, in Bremen
for dinner. He and Griebl were
there at Z o'clock the evening of
June %.
Pheiffer was in a somewhat boast
full mood. He chuckled in high
good humor as he told Griebl of a
particularly fine piece of business
the Nazi spy ring had engineered.
I'VE found way" he said, Ito
buy the design of one of the most
important secret devices of your
Navy.
I'VE did not want it so badly, for
its greatest value was in its use in
connection with the Pacific Fleet
Nevertheless, we paid $1,000 for it.
just the other day!"
But do not understand" Grieb]
protested. What good are Pacific
Coast secrets to the German espion-
age service?"
Pheiffer chuckled.
"One must be clever in this busi-
ness" he explained. you see
Evening star., 1938-12-27

He planted q spy in an airplane
factory near Boston, Mass, and got
stolen secret designs and blueprints
from him for transmission to spy
headquarters in Germany. He ap-
parently received confidential in
formation from spy at Boston
Navy Yard, too.
Gun Plans Obtained.
In some manner we do not yet
quite understand the SPY in Mont
real got hold of secret plans for q
new type of anti-aircraft gun the
United States was building. The
plans for this gun, which utilized
an electromagnetic device to enable
it to discharge more bullets per
minute, were known to Nazi spy
headquarters in Germany before
the gun was completed here.
DR.. Griebl denied any direct spy
dealings with the Canadian base.
So I confronted him with the rec
ords of his telephone calls for the
last three years. They showed
number Of calls to the Nazi spy
chief at Montreal.
"Oh, that" said Griebl. =, "I'll tell
you what that was. This man in
Montreal is stamp collector. I am
a stamp collector, too. I called him
about stamps"
Then confronted him with proof
that he had at least twice sent
money-$75 once and $50 another
time-to the spy in Montreal.
THAT" said Griebl, was for
stamps I bought from him."
AS any one familiar with spy
methods knows, the word stamp"
is frequently used in spy codes to
denote plans.

Spy Not Detailed.
At o'clock Miss Moog arrived
and they had dinner. Then Pheiffer
took them to the Astoria Cafe, in
Bremen, where they stayed until
am.
And 1t was there, as I revealed to
you in a previous article, that
Pheiffer told Griebl:

In every armament factory in
America we have spy. In every
shipyard we have a man; in every

Tho insurance business among

secretary of the Great Lakes Mu-
tai Insurance Company of Detroit.
As president of the National Ne
gro Insurance Association, which
represents twenty millions of saw

public which has been entrusted
to Negro management and safe
keeping, Mr.. Blount holds one of
thu most responsible positions in
Negro life.
The election of Mr.. Blount at
Cleveland last June was a gesture
in the right direction. 1t pushed a

crs of the insurance fraternity to
elevate responsible and progress
sivo executives. whether they re-
present the larger companies or

the nut being chiefly used as food
for pigs.
Feeling ran high among the
farm communities. Ill-tempe\i

unanimity felt that DR.. Carver was
personally responsible for their
plight. Faced with this problem,
DR.. Carver retired to his labora-
tory to work indefatigably at dis
covering new uses for the lowly
peanut

ed more than 900 products from
the peanut. Other products from
the potato, from clay and from
cotton add up to over 440 discov-

industries have sprung up in the
