DECEMBER 10, 194$.Fiv.OBITUARIES The congressional inquiry into the case of the \u201cpumpkin papers\" and other alleged Communist spy activities in the United States has evoked from the assistant secretary of store, John H.Peurifoy, the belief that foreign powers cracked a top-secret pre-war government code with the aid of papers sneaked out of the State Department a decade ago.\u201cWhat I regard as most serious about this whole thing,\u201d he is quoted as telling the UN-American activities committee, \u201cis the fact that these documents were taken out of tne State Department in 1937 or \u2019MS, and to me that means our codes were being read by foreign nations during the whole period.\u201d Those two years, as tne Second World War was boiling up, were a period of global feverishness and stress.It is at times like this that countries seek to probe the secrets of one another, and spies are everywhere.Looking hack in my notes I find that at the end of September, '37, I recorded: \"If any further proof were needed that Europe is beset with war dangers, it could be found in the constant procession of spies before Russian firing squads.Whenever a country is flooded with spies, it means that somebody is sowing dragon's teeth , , .\u201cEvery country employs spies, both in war and in peace.They are the eyes and ears of governments in ferreting out the secrets of other nations, either for protection or for offensive operation.\u201cSoies at this moment are walking the streets of Washington, and of every other capital of the world.The United States has military and naval and possibly diplomatic secrets which other nations want.\" Moving on a few months to March of 1938 my log shows QUEBEC AIME ST.ONCE.OF GRANBY.Granby, Dec.10, \u2014 Aime St, Onge, a well
