Swiss authorities discovered a widespread drug-smuggling organisation in which Dr. Hubert Rauch, of Vernier, Geneva, and Dr. Fritz Müller- O.C.S./Conf. 64(a). Widemann, Basle, were implicated.1 In Dr. Müller’s account-books there was an account also for a so-called firm “ The Isihi Egypt Co., Kobe ”, to which 70 kg. of narcotic drugs had been delivered in one year. These narcotic drugs were sent through Vienna. Nathan Altmann and Regina Metzendorf, of Vienna, were implicated in the smuggling operations. These narcotic drugs were probably bought by the Egyptian, Hussein El Neanay, then residing in Vienna. As can be seen from the archives of the Vienna Police Headquarters, the name “ The Isihi Egypt Co. ” was merely a pseudonym designed to deceive the Swiss authorities. According to the file in the International Bureau, Vienna Federal Police Headquarters, the individual described as “ Cherler ” was reported to the Bureau by the Sofia Police Headquarters as Guillermo (Willi) (Wilhelm) Mariano Scherler, born on August 17th, 1905, at Buczacz (Poland), Spanish national, merchant, unmarried, holder of passport No. 70, issued on September 12t.h, 1935, by the Spanish Legation at Istanbul.

Persons implicated : Eschua Friedmann , 1 alias Ese-hua Mayer 26749/387. and Eshua Ben Menachem Zion ; .Janko Parachkevoff Dimitroff,2 formerly a wrorkman at the St. Mladénoff Narcotics Factory ; Todor Nenoff Todoroff, trader at Sofia ; Takvor Setrakian, owner of a tannery in Sofia ; Todor Ivanoff Radeff, mechanic and proprietor of a mechanic’s workshop ; Lambri Kotzeff Lambreff, Sofia ; Nicolas Petro ff Piperevsky, Sofia ; Boris Dimitroff and Detcho Hadji Detcheff, Sofia ; Petre Tchoutcheff, Plovdiv ; Meyer Nissim Varon, a trader at Sofia ; Mariano, alias Heinrich der .Junge, Prague ; Hermann ; Jean Demison. 3. Friedmann arrived at Sofia from Vienna on November 6 th, 1936. He was placed under observation, and was arrested at Sofia station just as he was leaving again for Vienna. An examination of the correspondence found on him proved conclusively that he had not succeeded in purchasing any drugs, but had placed orders for heroin. As a result of further investigations, the police discovered a small rudimentary installation for the manufacture of heroin on the upper floor of the tannery belonging to Setrakian. Police investigations showed that Janko Dimitroff had in 1936 decided to set up a sort of workshop for the manufacture of heroin in conjunction with Todoroff. With this object, they had rented in June 1936 part of the upper floor of Setrakian’s tannery, where they installed the apparatus. The installation was working up to the end of October 1936. It appears from the statements of Dimitroff and Todoroff that they converted about 70 kg. of opium and obtained about 7 kg. of heroin. They did not possess the means necessary to purchase the raw opium themselves and simply converted opium for other people. They appear to have received from 3,500 to 4,000 leva for the preparation of 1 kg. of heroin. Lambreff, Piperevsky, Boris Dimitroff, Detcheff and Tchoutcheff were mentioned as having delivered raw opium or taken delivery of heroin. They appear to have procured the raw opium in small quantities direct from producers in the Petritch district. It has not been possible to determine exactly what was the destination of the heroin produced. It seems likely that a large part of it was lost owing to the inexperience of the manufacturers. About 1 kg. of heroin had been taken by Todoroff and Varon to Paris and sold there. Further, Janko Dimitroff and Todoroff travelled to Belgrade and Bucharest, where they got into touch with Mariano, Hermann and Jean Demison, but it is not possible to determine wrhether they sold them any heroin. Both traffickers declare that they did not export or sell any drugs, but that they went to Belgrade and Bucharest to meet certain international traffickers, with a view to setting up a drug factory on a more ambitious scale at Sofia, Belgrade or Prague. 4. The apparatus and utensils discovered in the workshop were confiscated and fines were imposed on all the offenders. No. 450. — Discovery of a Clandestine Heroin Factory at Tientsin on August 5th, 1936. Report communicated by the Chinese representative on the Advisory Committee, January 21st, 1937. Reference : 1(a). Heroin : 7 kg. 150 grs. O.C.S./Conf.l73. Opium juice : 8 earthen vessels. 14177/388 Utensils and paraphernalia for manufacturing heroin. 2.

Chinese. 1 See documents C.279.M. 130.1931.XI[O.C.294 (3)], page 21, and G.734.M.339.1931.XI[O.C.294{ft)J, page 7, No. 59. 3 See case No. 454 of this document. — 4 — 3 . Acting on secret information, the narcotic police, in conjunction with the Japanese police, raided a house in 27, Ma Ch’ang Tao, occupied by the Ping An Transporting Co. The above accused were arrested and the heroin, etc., seized. The Japanese police, claiming that most of those arrested were Japanese, not only took all the Japanese to the Japanese Consulate, but also all the evidence relative to the case, with the exception of the opium juice, which they spilt down the gutter. Wang Yao-tsu was brought before the Public Safety Bureau for triai. He claimed that he worked as a cook for Knodo, in the Japanese Concession, Tientsin. On July 26th, they moved to the Ping An Transporting Co., where he continued to work as a cook and all-round man. Later, he noticed that there was considerable loading and transporting during the night and he learned that the company was a heroin factory. He was occasionally asked by one Li Yu-vung, who seemed to be a liaison agent with the outer world, to lend a hand.

The ship was remarkable in that it was the first nuclear-powered merchant ship. It was constructed with funding from United States government agencies with the mission to prove that the US was committed to the proposition of using atomic power for peace and part of President Eisenhower's larger "Atoms for Peace" project. The sleek and modern design of the ship led to some maritime historians believing it was the prettiest merchant ship ever built. This china embodies both the mission of using nuclear power for peace while incorporating the design inclinations of the ship.

The present volume, entitled War Diary of the German Naval Staff, Op- erations Division , Part A, Volume 2tf, is the first one of the series to appear. Other volumes will follow shortly. 2. The War Diaries, Part A, are important because they contain a day by day summary of the information available to the German Naval Staff and the decisions reached on the basis thereof. To- gether with the Fuehrer Conferences on Matters Dealing with the German Navy, 1939- 19^5 # which are in the process of being pub- lished by this office, the War Diaries should provide valuable material for the study of naval problems arising from total war. The War Diary, Part A, is also a useful index to the German Naval Archives of World War II; references may be found in the micro- film library of Naval Records and Library.

    National Lighthouse Museum Spring 2020 newsletter Stay Well... Stay Safe... Stay Strong! Photo Credits: NLM, nature.com, heywood.com National Lighthouse Museum “To preserve and educate on the maritime heritage of Lighthouses & Lightships for generations to come...” A Letter from Our Executive Director Dear Museum Friends, It is hard to believe it’s been over a month since I wrote to everyone announcing the Museum’s closing due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has since taken over the world! These are most difficult times and I do hope you and your families have held up to this reality check on how quick life can turn us around. Like everything else in our lives, the National Lighthouse Museum is also learning how to find ways to pivot and re-invent ourselves in a new direction – hopefully not for too long, but long enough to cause an upheaval in our exciting schedule of wonderful lectures, special events and lighthouse boat tours we had planned for the near future! As we adjust to the new ”norm” we want to stay positive, but also stay alive and not lose the momentum we have so diligently strived to achieve. These are trying times and all our financial resources will disappear if we don’t get support from our dedicated friends both mentally and financially. Please stay tuned, as we turn to social media for new and interesting directions the Museum will take to maintain its mission to preserve and educate…I do hope you will not forget us and start to enjoy our virtual Museum as we offer: - An Art Exhibit slide show and sale of Florida’s lighthouses
