The Spies Who Never Were

Story of bureaucratic bungling

By Trish Worron

TORONTO (CP) — The-
clogian Gregory Baum, who
fled Hitler's Germany as a
teenager, was working as a
stableboy on a Welsh park
when two police officers
turned up at the door in
June, 1940, and arrested him.

“I remember at the time
how happy I was,” the Uni-
versity of Toronto professor
recall “I laughed and
laughed. I had the feeling
that I was being saved from
the shovelling of manure for
a long time.”

Baum soon found himself
ona ship to Canada, where he
was placed in an internment
camp.

He was one of thousands of
men who had been caught in
a roundup of German and
Austrian nationals ordered
by Winston Churchill after
the fall of France. Italians,
some of whose families had
lived in England for gener-
ations, were arrested later

on.

Even though many of those
detained were Jewish and
Christian liberals who had
fled Europe fearing for their
lives, the British prime minis-
ter reasoned that they ywere
potential spies for the enemy.

PRINCE ARRESTED’ ,

University students, sci-
entists, businessmen, and,
incredibly, the directors of
such British establishments
as the Ritz, Savoy and Pic-
cadilly restaurants were
picked up. The most cele-
brated was Prince Frederick,
a grandson of the Kaiser who
turned his back on the Nazis
and was? staying with his
aunt, Princess Alice, at the
time of the roundups.

About 3,000 of these men
eventually landed -in ‘a, half-
dozen Canadian internment

camps, where some: were.

forced to share quarters with
bona fide Nazi war prisoners.
Another 800 never made it.
They were drowned when
ee ship, the Arandorf Star,
sunl by a German sub-
rat fte
“ Their story is the subjéct
of The Spies Who Never
Were, a documentary writ-
ten and directed for CBD-TV

by Harry Rasky. It will be
shown in two one-hour seg-
ments on Oct. 11 and 12 at 10

m1.

Rasky has brought to life a
shameful and _ little-known
episode of Canadian history.

PELTED WITH ROCKS

One former prisoner
winces as he recalls being
driven through Quebec City
to a camp at the Plains of
Abraham.

“People were screaming
and shouting and throwing
rocks... We never realized
until we came to Canada how
much anti-Semitism there
was in this country at the
time.”

Eric Koch, a former pris-
oner who collected the ex-
periences of his colleagues in
his book Deemed Suspect,
tells of seeing a teenaged boy
go berserk at the sight of the
camp's barbed wire. Shortly
after, the youth, once beaten
in a German concentration
camp, was shot and killed as
he tried to escape solitary
confinement.

Musician John Newmark
says an officer told hin group
as they arrived: “I know you
are all Jews but you have to

Understood?”

+ Another man remembers
being greeted by Nazi pris-
oners of war singing an
anti-Jewish song as he was
led into his camp.

But the memories are not
all bad. Indeed viewers are
bound to be struck’ by the
lack of bitterness that most
of these men feel today, and,
considering the circumstan-
ces, the humor in some of
their tales. Many were only
teenagers and some look al-
most fondly at the events asa
sort of youthful lark.

They tell of romances, rid-
icule some of th emore asin-
ine guards and army officers
and remember in minute fle-
tail the food, a bonanza after
wartime shortages in Eur-

ope.

They also recall their relief
at finally being safe from the
Nazis and, most importantly,
the luxury of long hours to
spend on their studies. Many
of the 1,000 who remained in
Canada became academics
and another was knighted.

Rasky says he collected
about 50 hours of film and
that the story was “basically

richest man in Canada today. This one-

a happy one, except of course
for the men who went down
on the Arandora Star and
those who wouldn't speak to
us because they were still so
bitter.”

The film, he said, is really a
story of bureaucratic bun-
gling, and he hopes it will
remind people how important.
it is to not let government
get out of control.

At times the bureaucracy
was so stupid as to be laugh-
able.

Col. Eric Kippen, a gym-
pathetic Canadian Army offi-
cer who later helped the re-
fugees continue their studies,
laughs as he describes prep-
arations made for a trainload
of these “dangerous men.”

Hundreds of soldiers with
machine-guns lay waiting in
the fields.

“Out streamed the most
ragged looking crowd I've
ever seen. First was an old
fellow about 80. Could hardly
walk. And then there was a
young boy who was 16 or 17.

“I got quite a shock when I
saw them. I said ‘Hell, these
aren't prisoners of war.
Something went wrong here
with the intelligence.’ ”

Whatever happened
to Powers Boothe?

By Bob Thomas

HOLLYWOOD (AP) — Re-
porters covering last month's
Emmy awards asked each
other the question: What-
ever happened to Powers
Boothe?

Powers Boothe was the
lone actor who claimed his
statuette at the 1980 TV
Academy awards, the other
candidates boycotting the af-
fair because of the actors’
strike against the studios and
networks.

Boothe, 88, is alive, well-
adjusted and starring in his
first big-screen movie, South-
ern Comfort, which is being
released this month by 20th
Century-Fox.

The Emmy winner for his
performance as the Rev. Jim
Jones in the Guyana tele-
vision film, he told the audi-
ence: “I don't know whether
this is the smartest thing I've
ever done — or the stupid-
est.”

The outfall from his lone-
some appesrance at the Em-
mys?

“It has all been positive. I
don’t think it has affected my
career one way or another.
Hollywood has progressed
beyond the age of blacklist-
ing,-I'm happy to say.

“As to whether other ac-
tors hold a grudge against me
— if they do, I haven't felt it.
At any rate, anybody who is
in this business to make
friends is just being silly.
This is not the most loving of
industries.”

“I would probably do the
same thing again,” Boothe
said, “I did it out of in-
nocence; it was not a political
situation. If you violate your-
self, you lose everything; you
must be true to your con-
science. I still have people
walk up to me and shake my
hand, saying: ‘I admire what
you did.’ "

Southern Comfort is a
Walter Hill film about a Na-
tional Guard unit fighting to
survive against murderous
Cajuns in the Louisiana ba-
yous, and stars Boothe and
Keith Carradine as unwilling
comrades. They could qualify
as a minor-key Paul New-
man-Robert Redford combo.

Southern Comfort was
filmed in the Atchafalaya
Basin of lower Louisiana, a
marshy wasteland hostile to
human habitation, much less
film-making.

It was unbelievable
tough,” Boothe said. “The ac-
tors would clamber out of the
muck just in time to get back
into it. The situation was
even harder on the crew.
They'd set up a camera
platform and it would slowly
sink into the bayou. Or with a
tripod, one leg would sink.
And how can actors hit their
marks in two feet of water?”

“I have to give Walter Hill
credit for making the three
months as endurable as pos-
sible,” said Boothe. “We
didn't lose our senses of

been living aboard his 28-foot
cabin cruiser — the Inshalla
— on the Rideau Canal,
rocked to sleep by the swell

He starts his day by
making breakfast in the little

he takes a Mozart opera
score and tape recorder onto
its upper deck to study, and
sails down the canal to thé
National Arts Centre.

There, at night, he has
been singing his heart out in

Community spirit and sup-
port is not dead. It thrives in
Castlegar. Say what you
want, skeptics, the Kootenay
Columbia Child Care Society ,
and the children we help,
know that Castlegar is the
greatest little city on earth.
A great big ‘thank you' to all
of you wonderful people who
have made our dreams come

true — the. ‘impossible’
dream of turning the center
into a clean, safe place where
kids can be helped and
taught.

When all our newly-or-
dered equipment is here and -
things settle down a bit, we
will be having an open house
at the center. We hope that
all of you who helped will
come and share in the festi-
vities. Again, please accept
our sincere gratitude and
thanks for your support.
