A junior officer in the imperial Japanese Navy, studying at Harvard, has recently been engaged in collecting military intelligence in the United States, advice from Washington indicated yesterday. Sketches of the harbor works of San Diego, California were found in the student's pockets following a smash-up the officer received last summer. A companion naval officer was killed in the auto accident.

The incident came to light in Army and Navy intelligence, which reported an unusually large number of Japanese military and naval officers in the United States acting under suspicious circumstances.
