Ex OGPU agent Dozenburg tests Dies panel amid secrecy
The Dies committee questioning of ex agent Nicholas Dozenburg who is serving time for passport fraud yielded little. He demanded a secret session citing fear for his life and reporters were kept out while the panel pressed on. He discussed some points but gave few specifics, leaving the panel no wiser. The Navy denies rumors of a bigger European squadron, stating no new ships beyond 40-T are en route and reiterating evacuation duties.
