March 5, 1946 Russian Spy Ring Newspaper article

With the internet behind their wings, I guess they are just upping their game these days...but as this article details, we have had issues with Russia for decades.

This article is from my personal collection of vintage newspapers & clippings. This was in the Tuesday, march 5, 1946 edition of the Detroit Free Press.  Front Page.

Nicolai Zabotin appears to be the ring leader.

I acquired a few pages of this newspaper.  I am sharing clippings to assist with genealogy & ancestry research. 

It is very time consuming for me to scan all this information, so please be sure to comment if you see something that helps you.  It will be an encouragement for me to continue this project.

From 1954: Navy's Blue Angels. LCdr. Richard L. "Zeke" Cornier of San Diego, Dayl Crow of Oklahoma City, Roland "Auz" Aslund from Vancouver, Washington, and Ken Wallace from Elizabethton, Tennessee
