Britain area during attacks coordi-
mated with Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's Southern Pacific offensive
The action in which Koga reported
ly died may have occurred there.
Koga, SO, member of Samurai
family, was eclipsed by Yamamoto's
brilliance as a strategist, but played
a leading role In the seizure OF
Hong Kong and the Philippines. He
was commander of the japanese fleet
in Chinese waters and later COM
mandant of the Yokosuka naval
station before taking over Yama-
moto's position.
Two important battles with Japa-
nese fleet units occurred early in
July in JULIA Gulf, north OF New
Georgia Island. On Saturday, July
10, more than 200 American planes
sank seven ships, including cruiser
or destroyer leader and two destroy
ers, in the BUM Faisi area of the
Northern Solomons.
The enemy base at BUN is ap-
proximately 300 miles southeast of
Rabaul, New Britain, the major
Japanese base north of New Guinea
in the Bismarck Archipelago.
Koga was typical of the Ascetic
warrior class practicing rigorous
self-denial and living only for his
place in the armed forces. Such
types kill themselves rather than
accept defeat.

Three of the accused spies were
seized during the plight In Detroit.
The fourth, a merchant seaman,
was arrested later in New York.
Two German women were seized
simultaneously on presidential war;
rants as dangerous alien enemies
for internment.
Others Accused
In addition to Miss Buchanan-Di-
neen, the accused were:
Mrs. Theresa Behrens, A, Ger

rested in New York.
Mrs. Behrens, Thomas, and Miss
Buchanan-Dineen were engaged in
gathering information on war plants
in Detroit, Ohio, and Illinois, &C.
cording to complaints filed with a
U. S. Commissioner at Detroit. The
complaint against Hoffman, charg-
eS that he furnished information on
naval bases and conveys as we'll as
data on Detroit war plants.
Hoover quoted Hoffman, as say
ing that he joined the Merchant
Marine with the intent of desert
ing in a foreign port and proceed
Ing to Germany to enlist in the
German air force.
At one time he was in the U. S.
Naval Reserve and was called to &C
tive duty Dec. 10, 1910, but was dis
charged in the spring of 1912 for
physical disability.
The two aliens, both women, were
not identified by name, but one was
described as the wife of an early
Nazi party member while the other

Hoover said the arrests climaxed
an investigation begun in 1899. He
said the groups activities since
Pearl Harbor conferred about Miss
Buchanan-Dineen, we'll : educated
descendant Of French nobility who
had been carefully trained by Ger
many In espionage. She was re-
cruited in Budapest in the summer
of 1941 by Sari Dehajek, Hungarian
exchange student and Vassar grad
uate, who has lectured widely here
and broad on Hungarian folk lore,
Hoover said.
Came Here In 1941
Miss Buchanan-Dineen, Hoover
said, entered this country Oct. q,
1941, arriving in New Yorw city by
Atlantic Clipper. He said she had
been given last minute instructions
by the German naval attache at
Lisbon.
She first came to the attention
of the FBI as a mysterious Miss
Smith," In November, 1941. Shortly
thereafter, Hoover said, she decided
to aid the FBI when it became ap-
parent to her that she could not
carry out the instructions of her
Nazi employers.
The FBI chief said she cooperated
fully, receiving information desired
by the German espionage service but
always under the surveillance of the
FBI. All information reported to
her and forwarded to her Nazi SUI
periors abroad was cleared through
the FBI and the Army and Navy
intelligence, Hoover said.
Miss Buchanan-Dineen, Hoover
said, became acquainted In Budapest
with Miss Dehajek who had engaged
in espionage In this country.

/ lectured frequently on the west
coast, generally In San Francisco
and Los Angeles, during 1898
when she was touring with her hus-
band, Guyala Rozinek. Hoover said
she was able to secure valuable in
formation about American defense
preparations. She had been sent
here by the Hungarian government
and her lectures were of a propa-
ganda nature.
Investigated In 1889
Rozinek, Hoover said, was investi-
gaetd in San Francisco, Pittsburgh
and New York after citizen in
September, 1899, advised the FBI
that Rozinek was a former captain
in the German army and employed
In chemical plant in the San
Francisco area. He first aroused
suspicion when he allegedly said
that Hitler not only is my feuhrer
but my god" He later was arrested
and deported.
At the time of Rozinek's arrest
Hoover said. Mrs. Behrens furnished
$500 bond for him, and he visited
her in Detroit prior to his deporta-
ton May q, 1941. Mrs. Behrens
Hoover said, at that time told i'm
migration officials:
II am 100 per cent for Hitler. If
Hitler wins, all those small coun-
tries in Europe will have their free
dom.
Thomas, the FBI chief said, long
was known to his agents as an as
sociate of Max Stephan, Detroit tav-

treason was recently committed by
President Roosevelt to life imprison-

included Theodore Denay, who was
convicted of guilty knowledge of
treason in the Stephan case, and the
former German American bund
leaders, Fritz Kuhn and Gerhard
Wilhelm Kunze, Hoover said.
Born In Fresno, o.
He was born in Fresno, O., of Ger
man ancestry and was described as
an important contact for members
of the German American bund and
at various meetings spoke in behalf
of National Socialism and defended
Nazi anti-Semetic atrocities.
According to the complaint, the
acts of espionage committed by each
were:
Mrs. Behrens-She secured infor-
nation as to the location Of the
plants of the Pullman company
Chicago, the number of employees
engaged by it in manufacturing war
material, the character and kind of
material being manufactured and
data on. the transportation Of such
material.
Thomas-He secured information
as to the number and location Of
certain plants of the Westinghouse
Electric and Mfg. Co., in Ohio which
were manufacturing war materials,
the transportation and disposition
of such war material, and hte loca-
ton and employment conditions in
several nitroglycerin plants in Ohio.

Mus River Advance
The Mus River advance. coupled
with twin drive from the Soviet
bridgehead on the west bank Of
the Donets below Izyum, to the
northwest, gravely menaced the
German salient running east to
Taganrog on the Sea of Azov.
Swift Russian advances in this
sector probably would force a gen.
eral withdrawal from this sector,
possibly as far west as the Dnieper
River, to escape an enlightenment
similar to that which wiped out the
German sixth Army at Stalingrad.
Such retreat also would doom
German forces in the Crimea and
along a narrow stretch Of the north
west shore of the Caucasus.

bridgehead below Izyum, the Rus
