FRIDAY, 8 JANUARY 1965 THE MICHIGAN DAIY5 v s rr !risirp Ti 111 U s"'A . £ ' X'HKLEI 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.

Kennedy Chairman Leonid Brezhnev Premier Alexi Kosygin Russian Leaders Stall Reply on Summit Visits Fight Splits 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 E U RO0P E Don't assume the first tour you hear of is the best.

IF 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. 1429 Hill Street Tel. 663-4129 ANNOUNCE S SABBATH SERVICES Start Jan. 8, at 7:30 p.m. and every Friday Saturdays, (with Beth Israel Cong.) at 9 a.m. CLASSES and STUDY GROUPS at 7:30 p.m. Monday-HEBREW, begin Jan. 1I Tuesday--VITAL JEWISH ISSUES, begins Jan. 1 2 Dr. Emannuel Margolis, inst.

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.
