WOMAN SPIES
REVEAL SECRETS
OF SOVIET RUSSIA

Two years ago, American scientists in the Middle East recorded effects of the first Soviet A-bomb tests. They were alerted weeks earlier, largely by reports from an American woman spy behind the Iron Curtain.

According to the May issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, the Central Intelligence Agency, our new world-wide espionage network has scores of women operating abroad, several in the very shadow of the Kremlin.

The writer, a former O. S. S. officer, reveals for the first time the exploits of American women in the intelligence field. He quotes his chief as saying that "In the face of extreme danger, O. S. S. women showed courage and ability on a par with any man's."

Mrs. Emmy Rado, says the article, achieved one of the biggest intelligence scoops of the war by extracting from a refugee detailed harbor information when our Army was planning the landings in North Africa.

"Artemis," whose real name is still a secret, is the 37-year-old American woman who was landed in Normandy by submarine, walked across France, personally led guerrilla sabotage bands, and blew up a bridge all by herself while a German truck convoy was crossing it. A hundred Nazi troops were killed.

Mrs. Dorothy Huston, called "the best American undercover agent of them all," cracked one of the most dangerous espionage rings in this country. It was made up of Polish refugees who had rented an apartment in New York. Mrs. Huston rented an adjoining apartment, casually made their acquaintance, and, within ten days, "had them spilling secrets all over the place."

"That women excel as intelligence agents is nothing new," says the article. "for five thousand years, every espionage service on earth has turned over to women the missions too delicate for its men to handle."
