Experienced Advertisers Prefer The Star
Russia Gets Dollars
Through Own Band of
Smugglers in Europe
By Fred Sparks
Fortign Correspondent of Tht Star and
tht Chicago Daily News
VIENNA. Austria. Sept. 30.—
Prohibition rum-runners, who
used to smuggle Scotch Into the
then dry United States were
strictly small-timers compared to
the smuggling network currently
sponsored by the Soviet Union.
The American rum - runner
sometimes had the nod from some
crooked officials, who looked the
other way when he beached his
load of whiskey.
Soviet smugglers are even bet
ter fixed—they work for Moscow.
Every night truckloads of Hun
garian textiles, Polish hams, Ro
manian woolens and Baltic lumber
make a quick spring past Austrian
or German border posts—not
stopping to pay any customs or
tariffs.
All this is by arrangement
Austrian or German federals look
the other way not necessarily
because they are paid off—but
because they are scared off.
Policemen Won’t Stop Trucks.
For the smugglers’ trucks carry
a badge of terror—the red star of
the Soviet Union.
An Austrian or German police
man will no more stop, question
and annoy a van with that red
star on it than he would annoy a
rogue elephant.
All of which permits the Soviet
i Union and its satellite states—
operating through the great Soviet
i crime ring—to dump millions In
goods onto the black markets of
the occupied countries—and ex
tract needed dollars in return.
American and Allied business
men who trade here, having that
strange capitalistic habit of obey
ing some laws, pay tariffs and
customs, The Government of the
United States—unlike the U.S.S.R.I
—is not in the smuggling profes
sion.
By depriving the occupied coun
tries of custom duties through
this muscle method the great
Soviet crime ring picks another
few million dollars from the wallet
of the American taxpayer. For
by his Marshall Plan—and other
i various organizations—he has
guarenteed to support the econ
omy.
While the occupied countries are
the depots for most smuggled
goods, the smuggling ring extends
around the globe.
A British police official told me
that the present huge black mar
ket in jewelry in England is sup
plied by valuables from behind
the Iron Curtain.
These gems are collected by the
Russian import-export companies,
sold in the black markets of
Vienna, Munich or Berlin, and
hustled into England by crooked
sailors.
The great goviet crime ring
ordinarily leaves the smuggling—
outside of the easily accessible
occupied countries—to the inde
pendent operators. But recently
portable items—diamonds, gold
bars, vintage wines—have been
sneaked into various lands by
diplomatic attaches.
The Russian and satellite state
officials are given packages to de
liver under their stamp of im
munity. Very often they do not
even know what the mysterious
wrappings contain. They merely,
get the parcel from a Soviet im
port-export outfit while leaving j
the motherland, and are told to
hand It over to Mr. X, on arrival
in Paris, Copenhagen or Shang
hai.
Without question Mr. X had
already paid a Communist con
cern a good fee for the package—
and a sizeable delivery charge in
addition. The deal was nego
tiated, no doubt, in one of the
coffee houses of Vienna.
Genealogists to Meet
Milton Rubicam, fellow of the
American Society of Genealogists
and president of the Pennsylvania
Historical Junto, will address the
National Genealogical Society at
8 p.m. tomorrow at the Mount
Pleasant Public Library, Sixteenth
and Lamont streets N.W.
