Soviet Gives Cameras
To Spies in U. 5. Zones
As Currency Declines
By GouIt MocGowon

Norm American newspaper Alliance
MUNICH, Nov. Russian spies
in the United States zones Of
Austria and Germany are being
subsidized with cameras because
lof the decline in value Of the
Austrian schilling and Red Ger
many's so-called East mark.
Cameras made by the Zeiss con-
cern sat Jena, in Red Germany,
net about 5000 or 500 West marks
without much trouble. They are
not available through normal
commercial channels.
There is a Russian spy branch in
East Berlin, but main headquar-
| ters are in Vienna. Head Of the
organization there is an ex-NaZi
leader named Slavic. who was al
lowed $4,000 Austrian schillings
q month, but decline in the ex-
change value of the schilling re-
duced it from the equivalent Of
| SIS 900 to $4,000 this month.
Allies Eager for Bargain.
A. British counter espionage
agent had one of the cameras used
to fill the gap. They are the 35-
nm. miniature type and include
several novel features. A Russian
spy with one or two of these cam
eras can easily slip across borders
and approach Allied officers and
soldiers, who have become ex--
tremely camera-conscious over
here and are. eager for bargains In
novelties.
| The Russian spy network
Operates through former Nazis
barred from employment by the
Western Allies and many German
concerns. Many are eager to
peddle cameras, and pay for them
with information.
| Key agents were recruited from
among former Nazis in Russian
prison camps. They were released
for espionage in the west on con-
dition that their wives and chill
dren live as hostages behind the
Iron Curtain.
Spy Jailed Four Years.
One of them, Erich Friesecke,
was picked up here by United
States counter espionage agents
and sentenced this month to four
years in jail.
| Espionage reports are made to
Moscow and to Maj. Gen. Kra-
skevich, Russian representative in
Vienna. Chief information re-
Iquired concerns the building and
location of new airfields, military
roads approaching them. and the
location of barracks.
Other data reported this year
to Kraskevich included the num-
ber of telephone lines used by the
Americans in Western Austria, the
British in Southern Austria, and
the French in the Tyrol.
In addition to information of
military value, tendencious stories
often the creation of local imag-
inations-are required for propa-
ganda by the Cominform.
Typical was a report that
freight cars of "pig iron," sent
from a metallurgical concern in
United States-occupied Austria,
actually contained steel plating
for tank armor destined for the
rearmament of Japan"
Another was that a shoe-last
factory in British-occupied Aus
Ftria had been switched to make
rifle butts for Yugoslavia.
