Repatriated Nazi Spy
Seized in Trinidad
And Returned 10 j. ).

Hans Rudolf Christin Zuehlsdorf
Is, German spy who was repa-
triated to Germany in 1912, has
been arrested by British authori-
ties in Trinidad, British West In
dies, and returned to this country,
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
said today.
Director ]. Edgar Hoover of the
FBI said zuehlsdorff, disguised as
an Argentine, was attempting to
gather information regarding the
allied military and political inten-
tions.
He was apprehended on informa-
ton gained by the FBI after the
arrest of William Curtis Colepaugh
and Eric Gimpel in New York a
month after they landed from a
submarine at Hancock Point, Me,
November %, 1914.
The FB1 said Zuehlsdorff appar-
emily had started his mission from
Spain at the close of the war on a
Spanish boat and carried forged
Argentine documents.
Two other German agents, Oscar
Max Wins, 81, and Max Christian
Johannes Schneeman, A, also are
being sought in South America as
the result of tips coming from the
submarine landing, the FBI said.
Born in Germany, Zuehlsdorf1 has
spent most of his life in Latin
America working for German firms.
Expelled from Colombia, he was
interned in the United States as an
enemy alien in April, 1912, and re-
patriated to Germany following
July. Upon his return to Berlin he
conducted English-language propa-
ganda programs as radio broad

Leader of Yokosuko Londinq
Lived in Capital Many Years
Admiral Badger Aided
Yokohama Earthquake
REFUGEES in 1923

Rear Admiral Oscar c. Badger, IS,
the American naval officer now lead
ing landing forces to Yokosuka naval
base as commander of Task Force
81, Is a native of Washington and
he and his family lived here for
many years.
In 1928 Admiral Badger, who had
won the Congressional Medal of
Honor for his part in the landing
at Vera Cruz In 1914, was ordered to
Yokohama to help direct relief work
among the Japanese earthquake
victims.
He was the only American to go
ashore at Yokohama, debarking
from the old cruiser Huron in Tokyo
Bay. He found the city leveled and
thousands of confused, frightened
refugees huddling on sand dunes be-
hind the city. He spent 10 days in
Yokohama, arriving there four days
before the japanese feet. The
Japanese government, he recalled,
never gave either the United States
or himself oficial thanks for the
relief work.
For time during the relief work
Admiral Badger, then a lieutenant
commander, had quarters aboard
the japanese battleship Ise. Only
a few weeks ago Task Force SO, to
which the admirars battle wagons
were attached, sank the Ise.
Admiral Badger won a Navy Cross
for outstanding service in the World
War when he served as a destroyer
officer. In 1889 he became captain
of the USS North Carolina, and
then as commander of the destroy

Negotiations Begun
|For Surrender Of
By-passed japanese
By the Associated Press.

GUAM, Aug. 27.-Negotiations are
under way for capitulation of half a
dozen passed japanese island
fortresses, including Truk, once the
most formidable of the enemy,s
Pacific bastions, the Navy an
nounced today.
Naval headquarters here reported
that Japanese commanders have
agreed to surrender their garrisons
at Rota in the Marianas Islands,
Jaluit in the Marshalls and Yap,
Truk and Palau in the Carolines, as
soon as they receive instructions
from Tokyo.
Surrender overtures also have
been made to the japanese on
Ponape and Kusaie in the Caro-
lines, Wake and Nauru. The white
flag has not appeared on those
islands as yet. The garrisons have
ceased firing on American recon-
naissance planes. But the enemy
troops still take cover when the
planes fly over.
Truk Is Biggest Prize.
Since August Is, the Navy has
been pressing for the surrender and
occupation of the many isolated
Japanese-held islands dotting the
Pacific.
The biggest price, of course, is
Truk, where Navy patrol bombers
from Fleet Air Wing 1S reported on
August rs that white crosses, previ-
ously specified in the surrender mes
sage, had appeared on the runways
of the island. Four days earlier,
pilots had reported japanese lined
the runways to wave instead of
rushing, as usual, to man the anti
aircraft guns.
Negotiations for capitulation of
by-passed Rota, about 80 miles
northwest of Guam, were begun at a
conference today between the COM
mander OF the Japanese garrison
and representatives of Maj. Gen.
Henry L. Larson, Marine Corps
island commander of Guam.
In rigidly formal meeting aboard
an American warship off Rota, Maj.
Imagawa and three junior Japanese
officers readily furnished the neces-
sary documents and information
preparatory to surrendering.
Incessant Aerial Pounding.
The japanese garrison, believed to
be approximately 1000 men, has ex-
isted more than a year almost in
sight of Admiral Nimitz's headquar-
terS and has been the subject of in
cessant aerial pounding.
At preliminary conference for
the surrender of Yap and Palau on
August q aboard the destroyer
escort Amick, the Japanese indicat-
ed willingness to quit as soon as
they were authorized by the EN-
peror.
The Japanese representative of
the commander of the Jaluit atoll
headquarters in the Marshalls went
aboard United States naval pa
troll vessel August 26 to open sur
render talks. The representative
reported Jaluit had been disarmed
but the final surrender must await
the Tokyo ceremonies.

of the 9th Army, he led troops in

Gen. Eichelberger's Army also
played an important cleanup role
against thousands of Japanese left
on Leyte when the 9Th Army began
