U.S. Arrests Soviet Aide,
American on Spy Charges
NEW YORK (R)--An American-
born Air Force veteran, who de-
spite a court martial, had access
to U.S. military secrets, was ar-
rested today as a paid spy for
Russia.
Also involved in the case was
an aide at the Soviet embassy in
Washington, who was ordered ex-
pelled from this country.
T h e American, Robert G.
Thompson was released on $15,000
ball by Judge Walter Bruchhausen
in Brooklyn federal court after
pleading innocent.
Thompson faces the maximum
penalty of death if convicted of
the three-count indictment. No
trial date was set.
Long Series
Seizure of Thompson was the
latest in a long series of espionage
arrests in this country during the
two decades since World War II,
many of them involving Russian
United Nations employes.
Two former Russian UN figures
were named co-conspirators, al-
though not defendants, with
Thompson in the current case.
One, Boris V. Karpovich, an in-
formation counselor at the Soviet
embassy in Washington with dip-
lomatic immunity to arrest, was
ordered expelled from'the U.S.
Announcements
State Department press officer
Robert J. McClosekey issued this
brief announcement:
"The Department of State today
notified the Embassy of the USSR
that Boris V. Karpovich has been
asked to leave the United States
as the result of having been im-
plicated in the indictment for
espionage activities against Robert
G. Thompson of New York as an-
nounced by the Department of
Justice today."
Under the name of John Kur-
linsky, he was listed in the in-
dictment as meeting with Thomp-
son in Detroit in 1959 and turning
$600 over to him. At the time,
Karpovich was at the UN as an
interpreter-translator.
Co-Conspirator
The other co-conspirator, Fedor
Kudashkin, also from the UN, re-
turned to Russia in the summer
of 1963, after service with the
Soviet UN delegation and the UN
Secretariat.
Thompson was accused of serv-
ing the Soviet cause from June,
1957, to July, 1963, and of collect-
ing military data and meeting
with Soviet agents in East and
West Berlin, during overseas serv-
ice, and later on Long Island.
Thompson joined the Air Force
in 1952 and served in West Berlin,
Labrador and several U.S. posts
before his discharge in 1958.
The indictment said "large sums
of money" were provided by the
Russians to finance Thompson's
operations, that he received his
instructions by short-wave radio
and that such devices as a dis-
tinctive cigarette lighter were us-
ed as a means of identification
and recognition.
In Washington, part of Kar-
povich's duties included putting
out the Soviet propaganda maga-
zine "U.S.S.R., " an English-
language monthly circulated in
the country under a U.S.-Soviet
cultural exchange agreement. The
United States issues a similar
magazine in Russia.
Last month, three Russian mili-
tary attaches were expelled in
retaliation for restrictions the So-
viets had placed on three Ameri-
can military attaches in Moscow.
U.S. officials said that in his
UN job Karpovich was known as
"Karpov" but he asked when he
came to Washington to have his
name listed with the "ich" at the
end.
A second Russian named in the
case, Fedor Kudashkian, also
formerly employed at the UN
secretariat, is now living in Russia.

New York's
Democrats
ALBANY (AP)-The New York
Legislature, representing nearly 17
million people, was unable to
function yesterday because of a
giant power struggle among Dem-
ocratic factions allied to Mayor
Robert F. Wagner and U.S. Sen.
Robert F. Kennedy.
The Democrats, in control for
the first time in 30 years, could
not agree on how to divide power-
ful leadership posts that com-
mand millions of dollars in pa-
tronage payrolls.
Until the leaders were named,
no committees could be appoint-
ed, no staff personnel could be
named and no bills could begin
moving through the legislative
machinery.
Organizing Prevented
The Democratic fight between
the two strong factions prevented
the party from organizing the
legislature when it convened yes-
terday. Marathon night meetings
in hotel rooms and formal votes
failed to bring a solution.
Each side had its own slate of
candidates.
Mayor Wagner
One faction is headed by New
York City's Mayor Wagner, who
is reported interested in running
for governor next year.
The other faction is led by
Democratic State Chairman Wil-
liam H. McKeon and includes the
party leaders of Brooklyn, the
Bronx, Nassau and Erie counties,
all among the state's largest.
The McKeon bloc helped en-
gineer the nomination of Robert
Kennedy as the U.S. Senate nom-
inee last year over opposition from
Wagner, who wanted another
nominee.
. Erbaugh and his neighbors in
the northwest Detroit area com-
plain they have been subject to
continual harrassment through a
deluge of telephone calls and junk
mail from real estate companies
seeking to get white families to
move out and set up a ready mar-
ket for Negroes to move in.
The integrated neighborhood is
a long-established community of
middle-class homes ranging' in
value from $20,000 to $25,000, and
borders on the campus of Mary-
grove College, a Catholic school
for girls.
Erbaugh said if the white fami-
lies are pressured into leaving the
area "we lose the integration we
are happy to have, and the real
estate companies win a vast mar-
ket based entirely on racial preju-
dice."3

B'NAI B'RITH HILLEL FOUNDATION
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Russia's new
leaders are stalling a . decisive
reply to President Lyndon B.
Johnson's bid for a dramatic im-
provement in U.S.-Soviet relations,
including an exchange of summit-
level visits.
Johnson's advisers say there
probably are several reasons why
the Kremlin leadership is unwill-
ing to commit itself at this time.
Among them is the uncertain
course of Russian rivalry with
Red China.,
Another factor may be the un-
predictable course of the war in
South Viet Nam. Communist gov-
ernments and their diplomats talk
increasingly as if they think the
United States is moving toward
disaster in the South Vietnamese
struggle and will soon have to
choose between violently expand-
ing the war or abandoning it al-
together.
Flexibility
Under these circumstances, dip-
lomatic experts said, Soviet pol-
icymakers must be assumed to
want flexibility for two purposes.
One would be to claim credit for a
possible communist victory. Their
other purpose would be to dis-
courage the United States from
broadening the conflict in South-
east Asia.
The facts behind these specu-
lations is that the Soviet line has
been growing noticeably more
critical of the United States.
The most recent example is the
press comment on the State of the
Union message this week. In that
message Johnson hammered at the
theme of securing world peace and
specifically invited Soviet leaders
to the United States.
Crumbling Empire
But Johnson also said bluntly
that the communist empire is
crumbling. He reaffirmed U.S. de-
termination to secure South Viet
Nam, and he spoke of a need to
increase trade and other ties
with the increasingly independent
countries of eastern Europe.
Some authorities here saw that
the new Soviet chiefs, Premier Al-
exi Kosygin and Communist Party
Chairman Leonid Brezhnev, may
be unsure about how to handle
Johnson. This would add to their
hesitation about becoming more
actively involved.

LONDON-British Nazi leader
Colin Jordan and his followers
turned an election rally for For-
eign Secretary Patrick Gordon
Walker into a near-riot last night.
The Foreign Secretary shoved
Jordan away with his own hands
as the Nazi chief tried to climb
onto the platform. Defense Secre-
tary Denis Healey pitched in with
his cabinet colleague as the Ley-
ton town hall echoed with boos,
catcalls and whistles.
WASHINGTON - Harold Gold-
stein, assistant commissioner of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
said the December employment
and jobless figures reflected "a
continuation of the improvement
we've been showing . . . through
most of 1964."
He described the jobless rate
last month as "well below" the
figure of 5.5 per cent in December
of 1963.
