INTERNATIONAL: Air Spies

At the main air base of central France, near Lyon, plans for sky mobilization in case of war are kept in the colonel's safe. Last week Sergeant Keiffer of the night patrol drove off four strangers with gun fire, rushed into the colonel's office, found the safe drilled almost open and on the floor a kit of brand-new burglar tools.

At Margate, England earlier in the week a wartime flying ace for Kaiser Wilhelm, dapper Doktor Hermann Gortz who now calls himself a novelist, was arraigned on charges of prying into Britain's air defense secrets. With him in a cozy bungalow lived the pretty girl His Majesty's Military Intelligence Department thinks filched secrets from handsome young officers of His Majesty's Royal Air Force, demure Fräulein Marianne Emig.

Safe in Hamburg Marianne Emig confided "I used to call Gortz 'uncle' so the English wouldn't talk about my living in his bungalow."
