Pretty Fraulein
Faces Charges Of
Spying Against U S
NUERNBERG, Germany, —
A pretty former German model
facing spy charges for allegedly
trying to buy secret information
from a U.S. soldier, said Saturday
she “loved him very much.”
And everything she had done,
she claimed in a jail interview,
was out of love for her 18-month
old son and a brother.
The 24-year-old blonde, Mar
garete Pfeiffer, is slated for a
preliminary hearing before the
U.S. district court here Monday.
She is charged with spying for
Communist-ruled Czechoslavakia.
She was seized a week ago in
a Grafenwoehr restaurant by two
American counter - intelligence
agents posing as waiters.
U.S. Dist. Atty. William D. Can
field said she was arrested the
moment she tried to pay a soldier
1,000 marks ($238) for military in
formation. The soldier, Pvt. Wil
liam J. Eicher of McKeesport, Pa.,
had tipped off the Army.
The defendant, shapely and
blue-eyed, wore an elegantly cut
red dress in prison when she was
allowed to tell her story to a re
porter.
She said Czech border guards
helped her get her brother, a
young Communist actor, into East
Germany via Czechoslovakia in
1951 after West German authori
ties had refused him a pass.
Then, she said, a Czech civilian .
came to her and said, “We helped
you. Now you must help us.” She
declared her brother told her he
would be fired from his job in an
East German theater if she did
not agree.
“A Czech civilian turned up in
1953 and threatened the Czechs
would kidnap my little boy.” She
quoted the Czech as saying: “Con
tact American officers. You are
young and pretty. You will get
everything from them.”
Soon afterward she met Eicher.
“I love him very much,” she
sighed.
