Popof7s arrest In Hamburg.
and of the suspicious and
plans of Schreckenbach. He
turned in his chair.
"Comrade Schmidt taken ?"
he exclaimed in a voice that
was half-growl, half-snarl.
I had never seen him so
agitated. He paced the office.
"We must do something" he
growled. I'VE must do some
thing. or course they'll break

IMPORTANT AGENT
I learned that Schmidt
Popoff had become since 1888
one of the most important
agents of the Soviet military
intelligence in Northern Ger
many. He had contacts in the
navy yards, the railroad CEN
tiers, the labor front, the
Lueneburg arm training
camp, and aboard several Ger
man warships.
Nine other trained opera
tives were working under
Popoh's direction. Secret
Photographic ateliers in Stet-
tin and Hanover were at his
disposal. 1t had taken many
months of painstaking effort
TO build up this organization.
II Popoff talked. the whole
Soviet espionage network
north of Berlin would be
blasted. If Popoff's aides were
recalled. their lives would be
saved. but it would mean the
abandonment Of important
positions in Germany.
Wollweber muttered. mo,

our German set-up without a
stiff fight" Abruptly he

CoURIERS TO REICH
BY 5 o'clock that afternoon
Richard Jensen had dispatched
CourierS TO Berlin, Hamburg
and Stettin, and coded mes
sages TO all other points. The
head of the foreign division of
the GPU in Paris was in
formed.

ABDUCTION DELAYED

ABDUCTION DELAYED
They had under considera-
ton the Soviet steamer Lena,
and the Danish steamers L.
M. Dalgas and Ask, the
crews of which had already
shown their mettle in previous
enterprises.
Hour after hour we waited
for Avatin's message from
Sonderburg. telling us that
he had seized his man.
A half hour before mid
night Avatin's message ar
rived. The telegram read:
"Meat shipment delayed"
It meant that no abduction
had taken place.
I was vastly relieved. Jen-
sen, who had been playing
chess, cursed violently. He
scattered his chessmen all
over the floor. Wollweber
stopped his pacing. He sat
down at a table and began
devising another scheme to
kidnap a Gestapo man before
Popoff would give up resist
ance in the Fuhlsbuettel dun
geon.
Next morning I met Avatin
at the Nordland Hotel on
Vesterbrogade. / asked him
what had happened in Sender

He gave a harsh laugh.
Nothing he said. "OnIy
Wollweber was much too big

Sonderburg was full of Ges-
tapo men. All Flensburg

l observed. They've had bad
experiences with Wollweber."
NEWS OF KRAUS

Wollweber. / sent a coded
letter to Schreckenbach, ex-
planning that the sudden influx
of German stalwarts in the
sleepy town of Sonderburg

that something was rotten

Nazi police agents to take
permanent quarters in Copen-
hagen to track down radio
station maintained by the
GPU TO receive information
flashed by Soviet spies in Ger
many.
l knew of no such radio
station in Germany. But it
struck me that Popoff must
have known, and 1 feared that
Popoff had begun to talk.
Petersen refused TO reveal the
whereabouts OF the two Ges-
tapo operatives.
We learned their names
weeks later, through a waiter
in Cafe Helmerhus, which the
two NaZis frequented. They
were Hermann Teege and l..

he grinned, his masklike face
became an ugly grimace. He
was incapable of mirth which
was not saturated with con-

They had been photographed
