West Coast Jap Fishing Boats Follow Fleet To Caribbean
•i
f Navy Is Sifting
New Reports Of
•Spy Activities
Japanese Craft Observed
Watching: Warships
® Through Telescopes
By Leo Huron
LOS ANGELES — (UP) —
^ Appearance of west coast Japa-
nese fishing boats irr the Carib-
bean sea where the U. S. fleet
is engaged in its annual war
games was reported in official
quarters here.
% U. S. District Attorney Ben-
jamin Harrison, who has been
directing an extensive drive
against alien - owned fishing
boats, principally Japanese, said
he had received information al-
% leging "quite a number" of
boats from Pacific waters had
followed the fleet into the
Caribbean.
"It seems quite significant
that these boats should be fish-
% 1ng there for the first time," Har-
rison said.
Spy With Telescopes
According to the information
reaching his office, he said sev- j
eral Japanese boats hud been j
^observed watching fleet units|
through "long range glasses."
The source of his information!
was not disclosed. Harrison said I
merely that it had been "submit-
_ted to this office."
* Naval authorities were under-
stood to be investigating the re-
ports.
Existence of these reports
was disclosed within 14 hours
•after FBI agents arrested nine
fishermen in the latest, phase of
the justice department's cam-
paign to protect naval secrets
from the eyes of fishermen. The
men—three of them naturalized
^Americans, one a Scotsman and
five Yugo-Slavs — were seized
aboard two San Pedro fishing
boats which anchored within
the 300-yard prohibited area of
the San Clemente island naval
preserve station.
Ml Boats Seized
The fishermen, while exoner-
ated from espionage intentions,
were charged in complaints with
trespassing on government prop-
erty and then released under
S250 bail each, pending action
of the federal grand jury Wed-
nesday.
The wholesale arrests were
construed as a blunt warning to
?all fishing bo,9ts against en-
croaching on naval preserves.
Harrison said his office has
seized approximately 80 fishing
boats since the drive was un-
dertaken a year ago to rid coast-
Sal waters of alien-owned ves-
sels. Libels were placed against
the craft, charging that they
were operated under dummy
American registry. Approximate-
ly half of this fleet was releas-
ed upon payment of fines rang-

Soviet Spy Case
Opens On Coast
LOS ANGELES — (UP) —
Charges a Soviet tourist official
hired a U. S. naval intelligence
bureau worker to steal Jap-
anese naval secrets from confi-
dential files were repeated in
open court when two Russians
and a naturalized American
came to trial fin espionage char-
ges.
Defendants are Mikhail Nich-
olas Gorin, Pacific coast mana-
ger of Intourist. Inc., Soviet
travel agency; his pretty wife,
Natasha; and Hafis Salich, who
worked in the NIB office in San
Pedro.
The government alleges Gor-
in paid Salich .$2,000 in the
course of a year for secret data
which Salich obtained from bur-
eau files. Agents revealed the
information related for the most
I art to Japanese naval secrets
obtained by l!. S. operatives and
to a list of Japanese agents said
to be operating on the Pacific
coast.
The Gorins have denied the
charges. Both have been at lib-
erty under bail while Salich
was held in default of $25,000
bond.

ing up to $5,000 and after own-
ership was transferred to I >< ma-
fide American citizens. The rest
of the seized boats are still im-
pounded in port.
Harrison said the campaign
was still going on "in full force."
"It will lie continued until
the entire situation is cleared
up," lie said.
Investigators had charged
that some boats had masquerad-
ed as fishing vessels to cloak
spying operations against the
fleet and coastal defenses.
