Three Held In Polaris Spy Investigation
London reports an intensive security probe at Holy Loch following the arrest of a British bookie Illiam McAffer and German seaman Peter Dorschel on spy charges and the detention of a U.S. Navy sailor. Scotland Yard detectives toured the Polaris base while Captain George Ellis noted one U.S. sailor is confined aboard the depot ship Simon Lake as the inquiry expands. McAffer faces Official Secrets Act charges and is held without bail. Dorschel, who met and married Christine Wych in Luebeck, is charged with inciting the theft of state information and is to appear in court Friday. The investigation centers on possible information exchanges involving the U.S. submarine base and personnel.
