British Search
Polish Vessel
|nSpyC|ea;nup

LONDON, Jan. IL (Ap).-
British counter intelligence
agents were reported on guard
against a Warsaw-based spy
ring today after a Scotland
Yard raid on a Polish freighter
docked in London.
London newspapers said the
raid and a reported warning
to British Commonwealth ma
tions to guard against spie,
from Warsaw may be connected
with the arrest Of five persons
Saturday on cllages of spying
on a top secret Navy research
base.
Scotland Yard agents boarded
the 3,2l9.ton Jaroslaw Da-
browski last night and for more
than three hours made q de-
tailed check on crew and pas
sengers.
Agents refused to say what
they were searching for. AL
visitors to the ship were turned
away by a Polish officer who
stood at the gangway as a mixed
cargo was unloaded under arc
lights. 4.
Ship in Another Case
The ship has figured in al
least one spy case. In July
1852, a Soviet Embassy official
Pavel Kuznetsov. slipped aboard
to be taken home. He was be-
lieved to have directed William
Marshall, q British diplomatic
service radio operator Jailed fol
giving the Russians secret Brit
ish information.
Informants said British in
telligence has learned spies
posing as immigrants are filter
ing Into the Commonwealth
Special warnings repeatedly
have gone to Canada, Australia
and New Zealand.
Britain also rushed to Wash
ington a report Of its investiga-
ton into the alleged spying ac-
tivities at the Portland naval
research base by the five per.
sons arrested Saturday.
Government sources said the
report was in accord with nor

ton in counter espionage work.
It was understood the British
reported the spy ring had little
success because Of tight security
measures.
Sub DetectOr Tested
Many Of the top secret anti
submarine devices being tested
lat the Portland base are o1
American origin. One, callec
the Assassin" is believed to be
the most accurate submarine
detector ever developed. Its Sc
crets would be priceless to q
potential enemy with a large
submarine force, such as the
Soviet Union.
Three Of the five persons ar
rested are believed to be Cana
dians. They are Peter J. Kro-
ger. a bookseller; his wife
Helen. both so. and Gordon A
Lonsdale, 81. who described
himself as a corporation execu.
tive. The others arrested were
employees at the bast. Henry F

NEW YORK, Jan. II (AP)
President Eisenhower wal
honored last night in a tribute
that traced the story of hi.
life from prairie boyhood t.
the White House.
The President, who leave!
office on January 20, waI
hailed as a great man." mar
of peace" and a patriot" BY
various world leaders.
President-elect Kennedy paic
tribute to "the grace and tn,
courtesy with which power ha,
been moved from the Eisen.
hover administration to tht
new Democratic administra.
ton" He added:
"On January 81, President
Eisenhower will be, for the first
time in q long, long career
again q private citizen. I'm
delighted to join in salutine
President Eisenhower. He has
had q distinguished service to
his country. This country has
honored President Eisenhower
well, but he has also honored
our country well by his public
service.
Vice President Nixon said
Mr.. Eisenhower had been q
great President.
Special Program
The occasion was a special
NBC television program, "1rib-
ute to a Patriot" The taped
program consisted of still
photographs. films, tape re-
cordings and interviews with
boyhood pals, colleagues and
statesmen. It was moderated
by Actor James Stewart.
Besides Mr.. Kennedy and
Mr.. Nixon. speakers included
British Prime Minister Mac
milan, Indian Prime Minister
Nehru and West German Chan
cellor Adenauer.
The Vice President originally
had declined to appear on the
program. saying he was pre-
viously committed at the time
he was to tape his tribute. He
also said that he wished to stay
off television for the time being
In difference to Mr.. Kennedy.
But Mr.. Nixon, who ,ost the
presidential election to Mr.
Kennedy by q narrow margin,
later changed his mind. He told
a Nationwide audience:
II have seen President Eisen-
hover make many hard deci-
sions - decisions that could
have meant the difference, for
example. between war and
peace for America-and they
have been right.
But the hardest decisions
that any leader in a free
country has to make are those
in which he must decide be-
tween doing what is right, but
possibly unpopular, and doing
something that might be more
popular from a personal
standpoint.
President Eisenhower has
had that responsibility on sew
eral occasions and there never
has been a time when he die
not put the country first, above
any thoughts Of personal popu-
larity.
That's why he has been a
great President. That's why
he is a great man. :"
"Historic Sense"
Mr.. Kennedy said that Eisen-
hover has a historical sense"
and added:
And, therefore, from the
day after election until the
present, he has made every
effort to make it easier for
those Of us who are assuming
responsibility in January
make it easier for us to meet
that burden"
Mr.. Nehru said he first met
Mr.. Eisenhower when he was
president of Columbia Univer-
sity. He said he was pleasantly
surprised to find the former
soldier more of man Of peace
than I had imagined"
