Naval Attache
“Plunges to Death”
In Austria
VIENNA, Austria, </P)—A man
identified by police as the U. S.
naval attache to Bucharest plung
ed to his death in a railroad tun
nel south of Salzburg yesterday.
Semi-official sources said today
there is “no hTnt of foul play.”
(In Washington, however, offi
cials said they were not eliminat
ing the possibility that the offi
cer may have been slain. Formal
comment was being withheld
pending further word from abroad.
U. S. army investigators tenta
tively identified the man as Capt.
Eugene Karpe, who was a close
friend of Robert A. Vogeler, the
American businessman sentenced
to prison in Hungary Tuesday on
charges of being an American spy.
Austrian police said papers on
the battered body, found on the
curve of a railway track, bore the
name of Capt. Karpe. police said
Karpe may have been standing by
a sleeping car door, losing his bal
ance when the Paris-bound Arle
burg express rounded the curve.
It was known that Karpe suffered
from gout, which made it difficult
for him to stand erect.
Karpe, 45, was a destroyer com
mander in the Pacific during the
war. He was awarded the legion
of merit and the navy eomenda
tion ribbon for outstanding war
service.
The navy listed Karpe’s home
town as Delhi, La., and said he
was a former basketball player at
the naval academy where he was
graduated in 1926.
