Nazi World Radio
Network Is Barred by
Germans in London
Arrests Thus Far
Said to Have Touched
Only Fringe Of Setup
BY GAULT mcgowan,


Foreign Correspondent Of the Star and
N. A. N. A.
LONDON, Feb. 20-A world net
work of Nazi radio listening posts,
operating from submarines at sea,
by fifth columnists on the edges of
civilizations and from camel cara
vans in the desert wastes of Asia,
was revealed by Free German cir
cles yesterday.
Admiral Canaris, chief Of the Nazil
secret service, Is said to have worked
out comprehensive plan before the
war which, only now that the con-
f1ict has become worldwide, is really
proving its effectiveness
Counter-espionage arrests made
so far in the United States, Great
Britain, Africa and Asia are believed
to have touched only the fringe Of
the organization. The successful
U-boat operations in the Caribbean
and Field Marshal Erwin Rommels
comeback in Cyrenaica are believed
to be the fruits Of operation of weak
short-wave tranSmitters which have
defied detection by the usual Allied
monitors Of the ether.
The system supplements the ira
ditional Oriental grapevine worked
out by the Nazi colonial school in
Berlin with the assistance of anti
British Levantines, Arabs and In
dians, influenced by the Grand
Multi.
The complicated network Is made
necessary because the Nazis realize
that powerful transmitters are of
little value in wartime because
enemy listeners take down and de-
cipher even the most difficult code.
The alternative of pocket radios"
requires a larger network and slows
up the news, but gets results un-
known to the enemy, allowing the
military surprise factor to operate.
While fifth columnises co-operat-
ing with parachute radio auxiliaries
represent a recognized espionage
technique, Nazi troops disguised as
camel drivers rival the tales of Col.
E. T. Lawrence In Arabia. Greece is
understood to be the South European
headquarters for the trainees. but
branches are believed to exist in
Tripoli and Bangkok, similar to
Britain's famous Arab Bureau" of
the first World War in Cairo, from
which Col. Lawrence distributed in
structions.
Across North Africa from the At
lantic to the Red Sea; across Arabia,
Persia, Afghanistan to India, Tibet
and China, caravans plod ceaSeless-
ly; sometimes camel caravans and
sometimes yaks. So the Asiatic
hinterlands are tied up with the
North African desert drums This
grapevine news is now believed to be
so per cent Goebbels controlled out
going and Admiral Canaris-con-
trolled incoming.
Two Germans Seized
The British recently captured at
the gates Of the Khyber Pass two
Nazis disguised as tribesmen, a
noted entomologist named Ober-
dofer and botanist named Brandt,
both carrying small radio trans
mitters. 1t was thought at the time
that these men were isolated spies.
Now it is believed they were super
agents engaged in overseeing the
system organized before the war by
so-called scientific expeditions out
Of Germany to Asia.
Brandt, wounded when he was
taken prisoner, is former pilot Of
the Eurasian Airlines. The from
tier police shot Oberdofer as he was

HOPE you read Mr.. B. Edwin
Sackett's piece a while ago in
our magazine here. 1t was called
Danger - Spies at Work. Ever
since read that article l been tryin'
to hatch a practical idea on what l
could do about the spy menace.
Now, this beanery of mine an
every other hamburger hatchery
from Maine to California is q
kind of happy huntin' ground
for spies.
You take good OIL Bumps Raft
erty, for instance. He's haulin' mu-
nitions now on his truck. Bumps is
200 pounds of patriotism on the
hoof. An he sat over there the other
night an told me all about what he
was doin', where he was haulin'
the stuff, how much of it there was
an how secret he was keepin' it.
remember now that there was a
quiet little gink back in the corner
listenin' to me an Bumps. The little
guy may be just as good citizen
as any of us = but he could just
as we'll be workin' for the Japs or
the Germans or the Italians.
get quite a lot of Army an Navy
trade in here an all us civilians like
to know what the boys are doin' an
how thcv're gettin' along. So we
pump Ia Tmation out of 'em an
they get all flattered bein' listened
to an tell us everything they can.
We don't see no harm in it be-
cause we alw ays think we're among
friends. There's somethin' friendly
about the inside of hash-house
that makes it a fine talk-factory.
You take Horseneck Sholtz, who
works for the telephone company.
He's a swell guy in all four direc-
tons, but l remember how he was
tellin' a bunch Of us about some new
machine-gun mountin's he saw while
he was stringin' some wires in the
airplane factory the other day.
Maybe there's spies right in the
airplane factory that has already

Another Deal
BY MAURY PAUL

NEW YORK, May 26.-Count
Pecci-Blunt's activities, of late.
intrigue me greatly. For not
only is the grandson of the late
Ferdinand Blumenthal of New
York repeatedly buying up nu-
merouS- parcels New York
real estate but he seems TO make
so many entrances and exits
from the Ritz Tower these days
I'm wondering if he also has an
appreciative eye on that bit OF
real estate.
Count Pecci-Blunt hasn't man.
aged to dent the inner circles
of New York society since land
ing here as a refugee from Italy
after Mussolini (no lessD
threw the monkey-wrench that
wrecked. at the last minute. the
elaborate and costly costume
party Pecci-Blunt and his wife
were giving in the summer of
1888 at their Italian villa.
He mingles with the bridge
crowd and when he becomes
lonely for the company of
friends who are in California,
solves the problem by having
them fly to New York-at his
expense.
As you've probably gathered.
Pecci-Blunt Is not one of the
poor" refugees.
The name "Pecci-Blunt" is
high-sounding and impressive.
But on dissecting ii one finds
that Count Pecci-Blunt was born
Cecil Charles Blumenthal right
here In New York.
His father. amassed as a mer-
chant a large fortune-part of
which his widow exchanged.
after his death, for the title of
Duchess de Montmorency."
Shortly afterwards Cecil
Charles Blumenthal II think it
was 1879 appeared in a New
York court asking permission to
change his name from Blumen-
thai to Blunt. About a year
later he became engaged to
Donna Laetitia Pecci. daughter
of Rome's Count and Countess
Pecci and a relative of the late
Pope Leo XIII.
After their marriage Cecil
Charles Blumenthal- Blunt again
made a trip to New York court
and received Justice Lydon's
permission to change his name
to Include that of his wife
hence the Pecci-Blunt. Where
the count ever came from I've
never known unless it was q
title kicking around somewhere
in his wife's family.
I've hardly ever heard of
Count Pecci-Blunt using the
Charles in his cognomen. He
definitely likes the name of
Cecil.
