A KGB statement said Vice Consul Lbn David Augustenborg and his wife, Denise, were detained in the Leningrad area Sunday "as they were carrying out an act of espionage." It was the Subscribe to The Doily 764-0558 third reported case of alleged spying by U.S. diplomats in the Soviet Union this year. A U.S. Embassy official said the timing of the Soviet move "speaks for itself," a reference to the Kremlin's at- tempts to counter global criticism of the shooting down by a Soviet jet of a South Korean plane carrying 269 people. "WE HAVE PROTESTED most vigorously the mistreatment of the Augestenburgs," State Department spokesman Alan Romberg, said in Washington. He disclosed, "I would also note that on August 19, 1983, Yuri Petrovich Leonov, assistant air attache at the embassy was declared persona non grata for engaging in espionage. "And on August 17 Anatoliy Yevengenovich Scriko was declared persona non grata for espionage." Neither case involving the attaches had previously been made public by either the United States or the Soviet Union. It brought to five the number of Soviet diplomats expelled from the United States in the last year. In March the KGB said Richard Osborne, a first secretary in the U.S. embassy in Moscow, was caught with an espionage radio set and notes writ- ten on quick-dissolving paper. His expulsion from the Soviet Union was followed in June by that of em- bassy security staff member Louis Thomas, said to have been caught "red- handed during a spy action." IN MAY, TASS announced Sue Pamela Carney, a governness for a U.S. diplomat working in the political section of the embassy, had left the Soviet Union under pressure after being caught spreading subversive religious literature. Tass accused her of being in the ser- vice of the CIA. Last April Pravda reported "D. Shorer," a U.S. diplomat stationed at the consulate in Leningrad had been expelled but embassy officials in Moscow said no such incident had oc- curred within the two previous years, if ever. State Department spokesman Alan Romberg told reporters that Washington was "vigorously protesting the physical mistreatment" of Augustenborg. He declined to say whether the diplomat was injured in the incident, and would not provide any details. Romberg said two Soviet diplomats were quietly expelled from Washington last month. Officials privately in- dicated that the Soviet expelled Augustenborg in retaliation for the August action. We'll sign your bills President Reagan introduces the new Treasurer of the United States.

THE THIRD BODY, in such condition that even the sex could not be deter- mined, was found near Monbetsu, on the northeast coast of Hokkaido, 160 miles southeast of the area where the Boeing 747 is believed to have crashe d off the Soviet island of Sakhalin. The police said 63 other items believed to have come from the plane were found yesterday, including a piece of flesh believed to have been from a human back that a salmon fisherman found in his net. Since Thursday, fishermen and police have found the body of a child, the faceless, limbless body of a Caucasian woman, four other chunks- of human flesh, the identification card of a 25- year-old Canadian passenger, Mary Jane Hendrie of Ottawa; the name card of another passenger, Chang Ma-son of Taiwan, and 467 other items, including shoes, empty briefcases, blouses and a child's windbreaker. The remains have been sent to th Asahigawa Medical College in centrals Hokkaido for examination, police said. MORE THAN 1,000 police combed Hokkaido's northern beaches while 23 Japanese ships and nine planes carried on a sea search hampered by 40-mph gales. Ten Soviet ships, including the 8,200-ton guided missile cruiser Petropavlovsk, a 12,000-ton oil drilling ship, and three trawlers, were sear- ching the waters off southwes Sakhalin.

Students protest defense' research with Diag vigil (Continued from Page 1) plied to weapons such as the Cruise Missile. Between sipping apple cider and chasing wind-blown fliers PSN mem- bers tried to 'persuade passers-by to fight both deployment of U.S. missiles Europe and University research which helps develop thqse weapons. MOST WHO stopped by seemed sym- pathetic, including Michael Zipper, a Residential College freshman who decided to join after reading the group's fliers tacked onto a burlap wrapped easel. "A University is a place for learning, not for militarism," he said., More conservative Diag watchers, such as engineering college sophomore Jamie Melvin, kept their distance from the group. "Let's put it this way. I wouldn't sit with them . . . there's nothing wrong* with research, it's how you use it," he said. And LSA junior Steve Frazier, sit- ting on the Graduate Library. steps, said the groups sees the world through rose-colored glasses. "These guys here, I don't know if they realize the world isn't peachy keen.... you've got to live with reality and reality is that someone's going to shgot down a plane with 269 people," he said, referring to the Soviet downing of a South Korean jumbo jet. MIKLETHUN ;agreed that peace is "a two-way street," but added, "more responsibility lies in our hands than in theirs (the Soviet Union). We've always preceeded the Russians in new weapons production by about five years." PSN members say they plan to spend 3 hours per day over the next several weeks handing out literature on the Diag. They hope to revive an issue that seemed all but dead during the sum- mer, when the University's Regents rejected a proposal to restrict non- classified research. THE MAJORITY of the University's defense-department research is non- classified. "After the Regents rejected the guidelines there was a sense that the issue was going to go away and we fel we'd have to make it an issue," explaine naturalresources school sophomore Steve Austin. Frustrated with their long effort to workwithin the system, Austin said this year "the attitude will be more militant." TOM MARX, who helped found the group, said the Regents "don't really give us much choice." The guidelines wre supported by the' faculty senate, the administration, an PSN, so Marx said "if we do do civil disobedience it won't be without notice. That disobedience may be similar to last spring's protest against budget cuts at the University, when about w30 PSN members staged a 24-hour protest in the administration building. AND WHILE the group says it will wait until it has had a chance "to "educate" its new members, Miklethun described the vigil as "in a sense of con- frontational." "We're sitting in the middle of the University and saying this shouldn't go on here," Miklethun said as he slam- med his hand down on the Diag. Iii keeping with Diag tradition, the vigil attracted its share of colorful characters. Ann Arbor resident Danny Ashton, dressed in a red bandana, fatigure jacket and sandals said it is time to stop University research spons sored by the Defense Department. "I don't like it," he said, "and not oply the Defense Department, but bus- iness ... with all this computer science thet-e's no more humanities, no more history, there's no more nothing and I don't fucking like it."
