And it succeeded, thanks to the efficiency of Stalin's secret army and the help of dupes in the West. How it did the job is related in this story, second of a series on Russian espionage.) ys' i 55 By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Foreign News Analyst Col. Nikolai Zabotin leaned back in his swivel chair and beamed at the message on the desk before him. "Well, Vasily," he purred to Lt.

Col. Rogov, his aide, "I have nothing to be afraid of now, when I go back to Moscow." Zabotin was military attache of the Soviet mission in Ottawa. On hist desk was a message from "the director," chief of Soviet Russia's military intelligence. Dated late in 1945, it was full of congratulations, and the director had added "I wish you further success in your honorable work." It informed Zabotin he had been awarded the Order of the Red Star and the Order of the Red Banner, Moscow's gifts to men who do exceptional organization work. Zabotin had indeed done an exceptional job.

The organization set up and directed by him, under cover of diplomatic status in a nation which even then was fighting on Russia's side in the war, revealed the pattern of a vast international spy ring which may yet be regarded as the most suc 1 Around jTUh ALLAN EASTMAN The question for today Where io you plan to spend the Fourth of July?

SWITCH A young fellow in Chicago is the toy business and he got there because he once had a great desire to manufacture a sturdy, unsink-ible row boat. He believed such boat was needed by resort owners who are constantly explaining Ihey can't buy a boat that will stand the gaff of the tourist trade.

After a couple of seasons, with paying guests at the oars, the average rouboat is ready for drydock or the dump heap. So the Chicagoan went Into the boat business and was doing very well until the Korean police action came along and forced him to operate at half production because of shortages. About then, i friend, the owner of a pet shop, came along and asked if he would make toys for parrots. It seems that in between lessons on how to talk the mother tongue, a parrot must have time out for play. But thousands of parrots all over the country were unhappy at playtime iccording to the petshop owner, be cause there was not a single fac tory in the land devoted to the manufacture of toys for parrots.

This was shocking news to the boat maker and he agreed to swing into production to clear up the shortage. Now, he has a thriving toys for parrots business, netting some i year, twice what he expected 'o clear from the rowboat business. SHORT-SNORTER A story in a Butte, newspaper gives credit to a onetime Bis-narck man for originating the "Short-Snorter" dollar hill which was so popular during World War II. The story: Joe Hare, a former Bismarck resident who holds the office of president of "The Short-Snorters of America" says the Short-snorter organization which lirmen carried around the world In the last war, was originated in Butte. Hare said, "Back in 1915 when I was working for a lumber company a group of fellows used to meet at the Orpheum bar.

Whenever we saw a newcomer we incited him to become a member of cur group. We would make him an admiral of the Swiss navy and the chance was one dollar, which, s'ith the dollars collected from each member of the erouD was used tn Ouv dnnks. One riav fnltnu- in ana we made him a member. Then he informed us that lie did not drink very much, so I Hid to him, in that case we will make you just a short-snorter. The name somehow caught on right 'hen and there and we used it around Butte ever after.

During World War II, some airmen heard our club and picked up the idea, pat is how it gained world-wide lame."

It was closely linked with operations in the United States, in Britain, and even in Sweden, where its activities are still coming to light.

Its discovery when the Soviet embassy code clerk, Igor Gouzenko defected in Ottawa showed that Stalin's secret army abroad was directed from a building at Znamen-sky 19 in Moscow headquarters of the Soviet army's general intelligence. TVk 1346 Canadian disclosures provide the thread which can be followed to the operations of atom scientist Klaus Fuchs in Britain, to the ring operating in the United States and even to the one operating in What Gouzenko disclosed sent 30 persons to prison. Among them was Dr. Alan Nunn May, British atom scientist captured in London jn 1946 and -tried there for his activities SPLINTERED BOARDS ARE all that remain of the farm home 11 miles southwest of Wing where Louis Olson lost his life in a tornado Tuesday evening. Olson was killed when the twister lifted his home and carried it 200 feet through the air.

But in 1946, when Canada put the heat on the Soviet spies, Zarubin was withdrawn and assigned to London.

The twister-type storm struck about sirppertime Tuesday, hitting an area beginning about 12 miles southwest of Wing and traveling northeast beyond Tuttle in Kidder County. Dead Is Louis Olson, 70, who lived 11 miles southwest of Wing. He was killed when the twister destroyed his home as he was heading for shelter with the rest of his family. He was the last to enter the basement. Other members of the family escaped.

The Tuttle area apparently caught the full brunt of the storm. Mayor Clifford Riskedahl said it was the worst storm that ever hit the village of 360 persons. Tuttle it 65 miles northeast of Bismarck and 15 miles east of Wing. Clinton Denison, state Red Cross relations officer, reported that three homes in Tuttle were destroyed and 21 more badly damaged. He said a Farmers Union feed warehouse was destroyed along with a bulk oil station.

He listed eight other business places as badly damaged. AT WING the damage was less severe and confined to strong winds and hall. J. O. Lein, a Wing merchant, reports that virtually every window facing south wa broken.

The storm traveled from the southwest to northeast, striking just about supper time. Mrs. Boyal Benson, the telephone operator at Tuttle, said residents there had about 15 minutes warning before the storm struck. Sh was the one who tailed th Bed Cross in Bismarck.

They were in Bismarck when the storm hit. The force of the wind demolished their home dumping most of the debris into the basement where they probably would have been had they been home. i First reports from Tuttie listed at least four sets of farm buildings destroyed or badly damaged.

IN THE ARENA area damage apparently was lighter. Chris Wetzel, manager of the grain elevator there, reports that the twister missed the village, passing about a mile south and sucking water out of a lake near there. Other damaged buildings at Tuttle included the Lutheran Church which lost its steeple and suffered other damages, the Veterans of Foreign Wars clubhouse, which lost its roof, and a box-car blown completely off the track and turned upside down. Frank Holmes and Willard Olson, farmers near Wing, reported their buildings blown down but all members of their families were safe.

Don Miss It u.i GOP Committee Hands Taft called the deadliest spy in history. Fuchs, a cog in the vast international Soviet spy machine, supplies a link between the Canadian ring and those in the U. S. and Sweden. Fuchs was a naturalized Briton who had been a member of the Communist Party in his native Germany before he left there in 1932.

Britain in 3940 sent him to Canada for safekeeping as an enemy alien. He was released in 1942, returned to London, and got his British citizenship.
