ful society women were German Ann
baasndor von BemstorfTs uncon*
sclous aides in gatherm* '‘inside" In*,
lormation about American affairs. 1 *
This fact will be developed if anjP’
congressional inquiry of his propanl

Moreover, it would be revealed thnti
employes of the German embassy ltk,

RernetorfT, tall, handsome and gr*»

New York in the days before th«w
w;fr and before his nefarious labora.
had come to light. It was no un*
common occurrence for social lead*,
rrs to call him on the ’phone afterw,
noons and cha f at length with him*
Fternstorff never made any secret*
of these calls. 9
•vide from his opportunities for
gathering "diplomatic gossip" here,
he was an almost constant .visitor
to New York • • -
During his Visits to Nevr York hw
h« hi maji\ tnyst* riotv. conferences
and !♦ nssnmed that he frequently
met men who were • ■'i;ig in his

Incidentally hia New i ork trips
recalled today the fnct that numer

called ‘leak” investigation linked
Itern-torffs name with stork deals.
