GIVEN AWAY WITH TEA
RUMANIAN STATE SECRETS
LONDON, April 15,
The Rumanian police have discovered that delicate State secrets are given away with a pound of tea.
The Budapest correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” reports that the police, when searching the rooms of a political suspect, found a highly confidential document, which was part of the evidence recently submitted to the munitions enquiry committee.
When the suspect was asked how he was able to steal or buy the in* formation he led the police to the local grocer’s, where 2000 sheets of the secret documents were being used to wrap ,up parcels. An enterprising committeeman had decided to earn an honest penny by selling the voluminous reports to wastepaper dealers.
