FLOWER" PLUCKED BY PACIFISTS
An alleged deserter from the U.S. army in Vietnam has been exposed as an agent of the British Secret service.
The undercover agent, who used the rather attractive alias of "Barry Flower," had sought to ferret out a secret British network for assisting U.S. antiwar deserters.
Peter Cadogan, secretary of the Committee of 100, a British peace group, told reporters January 5 that "Flower" admitted his mission to the peace activists whom he had tried to hoodwink.
On being ejected from the secret refuge which had been provided for hin, he called the nearest U.S. airforce base for a car to pick him up.
Cadogan did not reveal how the professional gumshoe had been unmasked. Perhaps the "flower" did not smell right.
