mitted to an insane asylum. He was saved
only by his commanding general and soon
thereafter by the fact that his forecast came
true.
After the defeat Gehlen surrendered to the
American Army. His American questioneB
laughed when he told them he was an intelli-
gence expert on Soviet affairs and eager to
hand over his collected reports He described
the Soviet's bellicose preparations against
their American allies, and revealed his net
work of informantS, his storehouse of infor-
nation, his methods of finding facts in the
Kremlin-ruled countries - but to no avail.
Only after several months in prisoner-of-
war camp was Gehlen discovered by an intel
heence officer on General George S. Patton's
staff who had him flown to Washington. In
an interview which lasted for weeks, Gehlen
impressed his captors with his memory,
recalling tens of thousands of names, figures
and incidents. They proved to be correct as
well as most valuable to the American cause
A Duel Between Experts
He was returned to Germany with permis-
sion to set up new intelligence network
restricted in its operations to the Communist
sphere, strictly supervised by Americans.
There was one condition - his own. He was
never to work against the interests Of free,
democratic Germany.
In the 10 years since, Gehlen has fought
an almost daily battle Of wits with his oppo-
site number in East Germany, Ernst Woll-
weber. A heavy-set, tough professional Com
munist, four years older than Gehlen, Woll-
weber's adult life for 30 years was devoted to
espionage, smuggling and sabotage on the
worlds water fronts for the Communist
movement. After the war he became East
Germany's Minister Of transportation, then
its State Security Minister in charge Of secret
police and foreign intelligence.
One Of his chief assistants since I947, a
maritime expert turned Communist and in
charge Of Wollweber's Division Of Fleets and
Ports was Walter Gramsch. He did such
meritorious work that the Communist gov

Secrets From Behind The Iron Curtain

Gehlen founded and runs, deals exclusively
with secrets from behind the Iron Curtain.
Since the SovietS forged that curtain for the
particular purpose of hiding their slave world
from Western eyes, and since their secrets are
part and parcel of their plan to conquer the
free world, it was imperative for Western
self-defense to get hold of these secrets.
Gehlen's organization is different from the
almost 100 others that operate in the shadow
of the Iron Curtain and offer Soviet secrets to
the West. Most of these outfits hang out
their shingle in Berlin, that half f-Soviet, half
free city. Some are set up by the Soviets
themselves to mislead the West. Others are
run by adventures who dreamed up their
information at the very cofee-house tables
from which they sell it.
A Really "Reliable Source
When American officials explain, however,
that certain fact or figure came from
Gehlen, it is accepted. The Gehlen label
makes it a sure thing.
What is more, Gehlen's Soviet secrets are
never ION the market" They are available
only to the authorized hush-hush agencies Of
the United States and the West German
governments. Partners in the cold war, both
desperately need precise knowledge of the
facts of Communist political, economic and
military life. America "a newcomer in the
field Of international intelligence receives
the most benefits from having at its command
foreign source Of information on which il
can rely.
Gehlen is camera-shy and hates publicity.
When his picture was published for the first
time in Germany, although it was only cut
from lO-year-old group snapshot, every
copy of the newspaper carrying il was sold
within few hours. In his personal appear
ance nothing seems to fiji the popular idea of
the master spy he is. His neiehbors in the
Upper Bavarian village Of Starnberg, where
he lives in an unpretentious lake-front house,
saw no reason to doubt him when he intro
duced himself as businessman. When he
drives every morning to his city Office and
spends his evenings quietly with his family or
working in his garden, he looks more like
fairly successful industrialist than leader in
the cloak-and-dageer industry.
His First Big Spy Network
GehIen joined the German army at Is and
served for . years on routine jobs before he
made his first contact with the undercover
world. That was in 1913 when the Russians
began to roll back Hitler's armies. The
German High Command was ignorant Of
Soviet troop movements since its intelligence
machinery had broken down in the inter-
nccine sfrllpQIe hefween arfi-Nazi arurv
officers and poweT-drmk Nazi SIS. leaders.
The General Staff instructed Gehlen to dig
up information on the Eastern Front about
the enemy armies. Opposed by the Nazis,
whom he hated ever since, he calmly, duti-
fully and efficiently set up new spy network
in the East
So well did be do this job that it almost
ruined him. When he was ordered to report
on the situation to Hitler in person. he pre-

Improved Parking Lots
Other highlights Of the report:
Provisions should be incor-
porated in the coming regula-
tions to improve the generally
poor appearance Of parking lots
and to require the planting Of
trees therein"
THE year is not far Of in
which virtually every family will
own a car and will want to drive
to work, shopping, recreation
and vacation"
"The city must compete as
a location for home and business
more on basis of how comfor-
table, convenient. pleasant and
good looking it is, in comparison
with the suburbs"
Mr.. Cater defended the rec
Iommendation for use of floor
area ratios. Where a building
may cover most of the lot and
lis limited only by height re-
Istrictions, he said, architects are
forced to I'LL up the building with
as much floor area-and as
many fioors--as possible.
Variation In Design
Where the floor area is limited
arbitrarily. he said the architect
lis free to increase the height of
the building or make it squat.
give it towers or avoid them-all
with the same floor space. The
report said:
such a provision will protect
the user of Office space from
being squeezed into rooms with
unnecessarily low ceilings. 1t will
also protect the investor fror,
building a structure which VII
have more floor space at the cost
of long term rentability."
Also, it declared, there is an
unfortunate tendency in the
building business to build cheap
space to an excess in times o.
great demand-and then be un-
able to build any thing in times
of slack demand"
"The customer can't affort
much at all in the latter" it said.
Building regulations and some
facets of the zoning regulation
are aimed at improving quality
of construction and at protecting
the consumer in both phases Of
the boom and bust cycle"
Urges Cooperation
Urging general cooperation to
solve the problems of over
crowded cities, the report de-
clared:
Builders, as a class. have
Evening star., 1955-09-22

|profited greatly from adding to
the congestion. It is not unfair
to ask them to make q contribu-
ton to Its relief by agreeing to
reduce density allowance In the
congested areas.
Private parking lot owners
in the congested area have prof
ited greatly from and contrib
uted greatly to the, congestion
and 1t is not inequitable or TN
reasonable to ask them 10 make
q contribution to its relief by
submitting to the competition
from peripheral parking lot de-
velopment on q scale to meet
the demand.
"The private car owner has
also contributed greatly to the
congestion and he should make
his contribution by agreeing to
stricter control of moving traf-
nc and parking in the downtown
area.
"The merchant has fed of the
passing parade, and by building
his shop by the side Of the road
has contributed his share to the
congestion. His contribution
should be participation. either
directly or indirectly. in fnanc-
ing adequate off-street parking
facilities.
Off-Street Loading

bit to slow things up, but he can
contribute by staying Oh the
streets during rush hours. In
order to make this practicable

for old as well.

run pays the most for it through

not cause the builder or store
operator to shy of because he
knows he would have had his as

Lewis said. This policy would
also discourage property owners
from demanding zone changes

they actually have plans for such

Washington representative. said
this proposed regulation would
work no great change here. He
declared the tallest Washington
buildings do not exceed the max
trnum angle proposed-65 degrees
by more than 2 degrees.
Would Cut Maximum
while the proposed restriction
on the floor area ratio would
sharply cut the maximum size
of downtown Washington build
ings, the report pointed out that
the overall average OF actual
building is far lower than the
proposed maximum.
The report said present reg
ulations would allow a floor area
ratio of 10 to l, but that actual
building has produced q ratio
of only 3 to /.
The report also proposed that
the city's three different KINDS
of coming districts (height. area
and use districts) be replaced
.by a single set of districts.
Height, area and use regulations
would be uniform throughout
Aarb of these.
Also proposed were the estab-
lishment Of six types Of COM
mercial districts instead OF the
two now in effect. and Of two
types of manufacturing districts,
instead of one.
{ Standards by District
In areas other than the CEN
trail business district, the stand
ards would change and. accord
ing to the report. come more
nearly into line with existing
building practice.
In the proposed central re-
tail district, for example, maxi
mum building height would be
1lS feet and 10 stories, with a
permitted floor area ratio Of
5 to and q 65-degree light
angle.
In secondary business centers,
the permitted height would be
90 feet and eight stories, with
q floor area ratio of 4 to and
0 light angle Of S. degrees.
In local business districts, the
height would be SO feet and four
stories, with . floor area ratio
Of Q to /. No light angle would
apply.
In local retail districts, the
height would be 20 feet and one
story, with a floor area ratio of
O.3 to /. This, however, would
apply to retail uses only. If such
q store were on the ground floor
Of q residential building. the
entire structure would be sub
ject to the height and floor area
ratio regulations of the sur
rounding residential district.
Commercial Limits
Heavy commercial districts
would be limited in height to
40 feet, with floor area ratio
of 2 to /. The restricted manu-
featuring districts would be
limited to the same height, with
floor area ratio of 0.8 to /, with
strict requirements for land
scaping, off-street parking and
off-street loading.
The proposed general industry
districts would be limited in
height to so feet and a floor
area ratio of 3 to /. with light
angle of SIS degrees.
Backing up the recommended
ton of a maximum restriction
on floor area ratio of z to /, the
report said: There are not more
than two or three blocks in
Washington more intensively de-
veloped than 6 or floor area
alto"
However, it stated that, "sev-
