be able to imagine Hollywood

would deface the streets as eff

Today's hand is an example Of

diamond was led, the ace win

made the far-sighted safety play
of discarding club instead of
ruffing. To accept the force
would be disastrous if the
trumps were badly split. East

which was ruffed high by dunn

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

He did manage to pick up
Spanish and English. and with
that language background, in
stead of being put in the Army
at the outbreak of the war he
was sent to a German espion-
age school in Hamburg. In a six
weeks course he was taught
how to build and operate a ra-
dio set, using spare parts and
such materials as could be found
in Latin American countries.
BECOMES A SPY
When he finished his course.
they gave him an alias, Enrique
Luni, and told him he was a
Honduran-born refuge Jew
who had been forced to flee
from Rotterdam when the Nazis
invaded Holland. To make it
look good, the Nazis purchased
for him, from a crooked Hon.
duran consular official in Ger
many, pre- dated Honduran
passport attesting to his birth
in the Central American Repub-
lie of Honduras. Thus equipped,
and with $4,000 in u. S. curren-
cy, Luning sailed from BARGE
Iona, Spain, for Cuba. arriving
in Havana in late September,
l94l.
Luning opened up a small
women's apparel shop in Ha-
vana and with his experience
in the exporting business, he be-
gan to correspond with export
ers and importers throughout
the Western Hemisphere. His
most useful job for the Nazis
was the observation of ship ar
rivals and sailings from the port
of Havana, though he did pick
up some stray bits of informa-
ton on ship movements from
his correspondence.
Enrique Luni, the refugee
Jew, had his living quarters in
a rooming house in Teniente Rey
street. To this rooming house
Luni brought the radio parts he
purchased in Havana stores, and
began the assembly of his set.
CANARIES, A RUSE
But he also began to make
other strange purchases - sing
ing canaries. He filled his room
with their cages and their con-
slant chattering served him two
very useful purposes. First, it
kept the other roomers in the
house from hearing the noise
of his little radio transmitter in
operation. Second, if anyone
came to his door he would de-
lay their admittance with the
excuse that one of his canaries
was loose in the room and he
didn't want to open the door till
the bird was safely back in its
cage. That gave him chance
to scurry around and hide his
equipment.
Luning used his radio for
communication with Nazi sub
marines operating off Cuban and
Caribbean aters. Curiously
enough, however, it was not his
radio which led to his detection,
but his mail. Some of the let
ters sent to him from other
countries, giving information on
ship movements, attracted sus-
picion to his importing and ex-
porting business and that led to
observation of all his activities
and the detection Of the radio
transmitter.
The u. S. Federal Bureau Of
Investigation got into the pic
ture, and the G. men worked
through the Cuban National Po-
lice for the catch.
