mike' exposes Nazi leader

NEW YORK.

THREATS HAVE BEEN MADE to kill Mrs. Virginia Cogswell, the “Georgia Peach," who helped to send Fritz Kuhn, the leader of the German-American Nazis, to Sing Sing.

Dictaphone records of Kuhn's conversations in her apart- ments and other evidence gathered by Mrs. Cogswell, with whom the American "Little Hitler" fell in love, are being used in a new Federal Government investigation of Kuhn's interest centres activities and the affairs of his German-American Bund (the Nazi organisation in U.S.).

Now, in spite of police protection, Nazi agents shadow the Georgia Peach. One has told her to her face: "YOU WILL NEVER LIVE TO TESTIFY.' Mrs. Cogswell, beautiful counter-spy for her country, ignores the threats. Here she tells for the first time the full story of her work in trapping Fritz Kuhn.

BY VIRGINIA COGSWELL

THERE WAS NOTHING sinister about the courteous man who stepped to my side on that sultry afternoon of July 1, while I waited at Washington Airport for the New York-bound plane.

I know men. A beauty contest winner, known as the Georgia Peach, I was used to men's company.

The stranger bowed formally and asked if he might sit with me on the plane. I could see he was no flirting youth who might be obnoxious. He was middle-aged and stocky. His hard, jutting chin, military bearing and cultured accent reminded me of German Army officers I had met abroad.
