Navy Blueprints Found On German in San Francisco Probe
Federal investigators opened a case after Navy blueprints were found on Frederick Reis, 43, of Oakland, an iron worker at Bethlehem shipyard. Arresting officers seized one blueprint from his pocket and two more from his car. Reis claimed unfamiliarity and suggested someone may have dropped them. An FBI agent noted the need to probe unexplainable plans. Reis says he served on a German minelayer in World War I and entered the U.S. irregularly. Also, Chile seized two Danish ships and plans to use them between Valparaiso and Magallanes, with others to sail to the United States.
