NAZI WOMAN SPY
BETRAYED BY HER HURRY LONDON, March 26. Efforts of the Gestapo to smuggle women agents into this country in the guise of refugees are being detected and checked by Scotland Yard's Special Branch. One woman claiming Czech nationality, who recently arrived from Germany, has been interned. The activities of two others are being watched. The first woman attracted suspicion when it was seen she had a considerable sum of money. She confirmed the Yard’s doubts by being in too much of a hurry to get permission to live near an R A.F. centre. Many other would-be German agents have made this mistake. They have been over-anxious to get employment near military camps, naval ports or railway termini where there are more than average possibilities of collecting information. New Tribunal It is likely that a special tribunal will be set U p to judge the cases of doubtful Czech and Polish refugees
