capabilities their plans and the defenses our special assignment is the important American Air Base near Kaiser slau intimate knowledge of what goes on at that base is of immense value to the Soviet Union our mission is to persuade trick or compel the Air Force person Personnel to provide us with the effects we need if you want to successfully exploit the Americans for our purposes we must know everything about them especially their weaknesses Americans love money therefore we must offer them the opportunity to make extra money by cooperating with us they also like to have a good time a beautiful woman can make any American do things he otherwise would not do lonely Americans are easy to cultivate with the right approach you must befriend them and gain their confidence but you must

that's too bad Tom I have an idea that might help which might help you get some money well let's hear I'm all ears I have a great many customers who are very eager to buy American Products Tom you're in a wonderful position to help me obtain these products for my customers and sharing the profits of our business you mean the black market don't you Tom look you can buy things at a base BX yeah at a at a fraction of their normal retail price right right whiskey cigarettes uh radios appliances and so on and so forth these are things many people want and I can sell them for double the price and you and I can profit very nicely well I don't know Carl that that's a black market and that's pretty risky wake up everyone's doing it it's almost a respectable business nowadays believe me it it fills a legitimate need and everyone benefits by it even the authorities wink at it well it sounds pretty good Carl but I just don't think I want to get involved remember this could solve a lot of your money problems Colonel Olson's office Miss Gordon speaking Victor where are you in Ka Lon yes darling I doing research for a magazine article oh Victor I can hardly wait to see you meet too darling I will

me I thought this would be a happy occasion but oh Victor I still can't believe this is happening to me I need your help what is it I was born in East Germany my mother still lives there since the Communist to go with has been very difficult for her but never as bad as now what happened I was contacted yesterday by some people from the other side they somehow found out that I was seeing you they want the information they say you can get if I don't do this for them they will send my mother to prison she's old and this will kill her oh no it sounds crazy I know but they mean it Ellen I love my mother very much of course what do they want to know they already know that the planes at the base are sched to go on maneuvers they want to know when the plane will leave where they are going how many and what type of aircraft will be involved but Victor that's classified information I'd rather be dead than to have to ask you to help me like this but the existence of my mother is a stake if you really love me you will do this for me Victor I want to help you but here's what you can do find some excuse for working late one night when you are sure you're alone take a report from the safe and bring it to me Ellen darling remember I was trapped into this I hate getting you involved but if you really love me you will do it for me I do love you Victor but [Music] [Applause] J I think I need an aspirin or a sedative I have an awful headache you look well what's the matter what's bothering you I'm your friend remember I don't know what to do I don't know what to do honey tell me all about it let me help you it's Victor he's in trouble the Communists are going to kill his mother unless I help him how can you help him Victor's mother lives in East Germany the Communists have threatened to kill her unless I get some information for him what kind of information classified information you're going to report this to the OSI that's what you're going to do right away I don't want to get Victor into any trouble I love him I want to help him if Victor is on the level the OSI can figure out a way to help him but you must go to see them right away that's their job so Ellen took her friend's advice and told the complete story to the OSI was there anything you wanted to ask yes do you know if he has any friends in the local area none that I know of I've always been out with him alone has he ever received a phone call or a message from anyone when you were with him no well miss Gordon in addition to all you've told us about Victor karpman do you have a picture of him with you yes I think I do [Applause] here start a thorough check on this man and let me have the report as soon as we get it you were wise to come to us with this problem Miss Gordon if Victor is an innocent victim as you believe we may find some way to help him if he's a foreign agent oh Victor couldn't be a spy well maybe not but until we know for sure be friendly but stall him off and don't worry we'll be in touch with you [Music] hi partner how's business business is fine but wouldn't it be wiser Tom if you didn't flash around you new Prosperity so much what do you mean well people might start asking questions Oh you mean the new car huh I don't mind your having a good time and spending your money but I'd rather you did it out of this area now I guess you're right I better play it cool huh Tom I um I've been a pretty good friend to you haven't I sure Carl you've been the best and I don't usually ask favors but I have a a special favor to ask now well shoot I need some information about the f4c some modifications have probably been made to the plane after its combat experience in Asia I need the tech orders you're crazy that's classified information Carl I can't give that to you wouldn't be so hard for you to get them now just forget it okay don't you forget Tom that you're deeply involved in the black market if your commander was to learn about it what if your commander was to learn about it you'd be broken and your family disgraced I need those state quarters and I mean to get them I need time to think about it okay this is your picture of Victor this is our picture of Victor taken from our cter intelligence file it can't be it mustn't be I know what a shock it must be to you Miss Gordon but Victor is a Soviet agent he has no mother living in the Soviet zone of Germany as he told you his parents and his wife live in Moscow why did he do this to me well it's a familiar tactic of the enemy agent you were probably spotted for recruitment some time ago befriended gradually cultivated until they thought you were vulnerable for exploitation Miss Gordon will you help us apprehend this man we've cleared it with your commander what would I have to do we'd like you to continue to see Victor tell him you'll get the information that he wants what's the matter Tom nothing something's wrong what is it nothing's wrong Nancy will you just leave me alone read your book just leave me alone something's very wrong Tom I wish you'd tell me what it is okay I'm in trouble what do you mean you're in trouble I got involved in the black market the black market well how do you think we got the money for the clothes and the car and everything how on Earth did it thing like this ever happened Carl our good friend Carl you remember him well he's working with the Soviets and he got me involved in the black market so he could force me into getting classified information that's no problem just tell him no honey you don't understand if I don't give him the information he wants he'll see to it that the commander finds out about it and I could be Court Marshal but that's better than going to prison for Espionage the next day Tom reported the entire Affair To His commander who in turn notified the base commander the facts were given to the OSI for appropriate investigation and a special agent met with Tom now is there anything more you wish to add to your statement No that's about it well Sergeant Riley you know the Air Force cannot condone your black market activities however in the interest of Air Force Security your commander has given us permission to use you in a counter Espionage operation now will you voluntarily help us yes I'd be glad to first of all we'd like you to maintain contact with Carl tell him you'll get the document that he wants then at the proper time we'll arrange to have him arrested no car how about Sergeant rally our friend is going to cooperate we fixed a meat for tomorrow he'll deliver the take orders to me then it sounds good Carl oh Marlene I forgot to tell you I got a be away for a few days oh really darling where are you going well I've got to attend a conference at usafe headquarters in whis barten why do you have to go to conference on aircraft tactics I'm an expert you know you're so smart [Music] M hurry back darling when Captain Rogers returned from the conference we want to examine

Boris COV they're both Soviet [Applause] agents Captain Rogers would you come with me please your commander wants to see you none of the Americans involved in the cases we have seen were traitors or

any reason to suspect that an enemy agent is trying to exploit you or anyone else you know report it without delay to your commander or supervisor so that it can be referred immediately to the office of special investigations be smart don't let them make a fo out of you
