Nazi-Soviet Spy Ring
In j. ). Called Most
Elaborate in World
Ogpu Agents Arrived
With Recognition, Dies
Witness Declares
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Russia and Germany have the
most elaborate espionage system in
the world right here in the United
States. DR.. David H. Dubrowsky OF
New York. former Soviet official in
this country declared today in re-
suming his testimony before the
House Un-American Committee.
The witness said the link was
hardly dry on the pact by which the
United States formally recognized
the Soviet government in 1888 when
Ogpu agents arrived in this country
and established organizations to
steal mail and intercept kilograms
and radiograms that might contain
information that would be of value to
Russia.
Aside from the Ogpu agents in the
United States. DR.. Dubrowsky de-
clared members of the Communist
party in this country also gather
secret information for the Soviet
government.

party" he said, 'is submitting in

His Office Used by Agent.
DR.. Dubrowsky, who first testified
before the committee Saturday. was
recalled to tell other things he knew
about activities of the Soviet gov
ernment in the United States. He
said that shortly after American
recognition of the Soviet govern
ment his Office, which was the head
quarters of the Soviet Red Cross in
this country, became a cover for
an agent of the Russian secret po-
lice This agent, he declared,
created an organization to steal mail
from the mail boxes of "individ-
uals," as well as an organization to
contact minor employees of the West
ern Union and the Radio Corp. of
America to intercept kilograms and
wireless messages.
The witness asserted that this
agent, Jacob Sternglus of the Ogpu,
had nothing to do with any Red
Cross activities" and that he sub
sequently went to Moscow early in
1894 to protest the presence of a
spy in his Office.
AS result, DR.. Dubrowsky testi-
fled, Sternglus later was removed.
He said. however, that during his
own absence in Russia a member
of his clerical staff resigned in pro-
test against being compelled by
Mr.. Sternglus to do his special
work"
