Soviet dissident arrives
NEW YORK (AP) - Yuri
Orlov, jailed and exiled to Siberia
for nearly a decade because of his
human rights activities, arrived here
with his wife yesterday to begin a
new life in the United States.
"I'm very glad I have begun a
free life," Orlov said, speaking
through an interpreter at a brief
meeting with reporters after he and
his wife, Irina, arrived at John F.
Kennedy International Airport about
2:30 p.m. EDT.
"I can say whatever I want
freely. Now, I can speak my mind
about how the Soviet Union should
develop."
ORLOV boarded the plane in
Moscow at 8:40 a.m. (1:40 a.m.
EDT), according to Michael Matera,
a U.S. diplomat who said he saw
the dissident enter the plane in
Moscow by a rear stairway.
Matera said Orlov was hatless
but wore a warm winter coat. Orlov
was brought to Moscow from the
Siberian town of Kobyia on
Saturday and was not seen by
reporters at any point.
Orlov's wife, Irina, boarded the
plane later and was not allowed to
see or speak with her husband
beforehand.
IN Gander, airport officials.
refused to confirm the Orlovs were
aboard the Aeroflot Flight 315 jet
that stopped there, but the plane's
flight number was the same on
which the couple left Moscow and
no regular Aeroflot flight was
scheduled to pass through Gander
on Sunday.
The Orlovs' departure for the
United States was allowed under a
superpower agreement under which
American reporter Nicholas
Daniloff and Soviet U.N. employee
Gennadiy Zakharov were allowed to
return to their home countries.
Zakharov was arrested in New York
on Aug. 23 on spy charges, and.
Daniloff was arrested in Moscow on
spy charges a week later.
The United States insisted
Daniloff was set up in retaliation
for Zakharov's arrest.
MRS. Orlov bid a half-dozen
friends a tearful farewell before
disappearing beyond the customs
terminal. She said Saturday she
was worried about leaving her sick
mother and hoped to be able to
return to visit her.
U.S. Charge d'Affaires Richard
Combs accompanied the Orlovs on
their trip. He said he was carrying
a "parole letter" that will satisfy
immigration authorities, because
Orlov had no U.S. visa. Mrs.
Orlov was issued a visa Friday.
The dissident's three sons from a
former marriage, Alexander, Lev
and Dmitri, visited their father for
40 minutes Saturday at Lefortovo
Prison in Moscow, Alexander told
reporters at the airport.
HE and Lev went to the airport
to see off Mrs. Orlov, but were not
permitted another visit with their
father.
"He looked much like he used to
look, except that he has no teeth
left," Alexander said. He said at
the prison, they talked "mostly
about our family, and the
possibility that we will not see
each other again."
Alexander said his father looked
"very elegant" in a new gray suit he
was given after KGB secret police
officers brought him to Moscow.
ORLOV, a physicist, had been
exiled to Kobyia in the Siberian
Arctic since 1984, when he
completed a seven-year labor camp
sentence for a conviction of anti-
Soviet agitation and propaganda.
The charges stemmed from his
0o
in U.S.
human rights activities in they
1970s.
He was co-founder of an
unofficial group that monitored)
Soviet compliance with the
Helsinki Final Act. Before his
arrest, Orlov was one of the Soviet
Union's best-known dissidents.
His Helsinki Watch Group
disbanded in 1982 because all but
three of its original members were
imprisoned, banished to remote
parts of the country or exiled,
abroad.

U.S. uses disinformation, paper says
WASHINGTON (AP) - More
than any of its predecessors, the
Reagan administration has sought
to portray the Soviet Union as a
nation intent on undercutting the
United States through dissem -
ination of false information.
Thus, reporters and analysts were
surprised last week when Secretary
of State George Schultz said leaked
disinformation is an appropriate
tactic if it advances the
administration's foreign policy
foals.
THE ISSUE came to a head
after The Washington Post reported
'hursday that the administration
ad approved a "disinformation
program" six weeks ago to weaken
Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi
politically and make him think the
United States may launch a military
attack.
Schlutz disputed the suggestion
Qf a reporter at a Thursday night
news conference that the Post
article constituted a serious charge.
"If I were a private citizen ... and
I read that my government was
trying to confuse somebody who
was conducting terrorist acts and
murdering Americans, I'd say, 'Gee,
I hope it's true,"' he said.
While both Shultz and President
Reagan agreed that no false stories
were planted in the American press,
Shultz's defense of the general
concept of disinformation contrasted
understanding of Soviet active
measures and thereby reduce the
likelihood that people will be
deceived," the study said.

If I were a private citizen...and I read that my
government was trying to confuse somebody who
was conducting terrorist acts and murdering
Americans, I'd say, "Gee I hope it's true."'

first strike capability.
The State Department regards the
forgery, which first surfaced in
West Germany, as a clear case of
disinformation.
Another forgery, mailed to The
Washington Post and other
publications, described an alleged
United States Information Agency
campaign to ensure that the West
European media would receive
reports exaggerating the death and
destruction resulting from the
nuclear power accident at Chernobyl
in the Soviet Union last April.
Ironically, it was just four days
before the forgeries were made
public by the State Department
that, according to the Post article
last week, the alleged U.S.
disinformation plan against Gadhafi
bore fruit with a stroy in The Wall
Street Journal.
The Journal article, described by
the Post as "false information," said
the United States and Libya were on
a collision course and that Libya,
once again was backing terrorism.

THE administration has issued
over the years several documents
designed to show, at least
implicitly, that the United States is
at a disadvantage at times with the
Soviet Union because of Moscow's
propensity to spread lies through an
"active measures" program.
A July 1982 State Department
study said the public should be alert
to Soviet disinformation tactics.

of Mecca.
On August 29 of this year, two
weeks after the Post story claimed
that the administration had approved
the alleged disinformation campaign
against Gadhafi, the State
Department made public three
documents it said were forgeries
designed to discredit U.S. foreign
policy.
Department officials were unable
to identify the forgers but suggested
that Moscow was the prime
suspect.
ONE OF the documents was a
speech in which Defense Secretary
Caspar Weinberger purportedly said

during this period when we have so
many faculty coming of retirement
age," Kennedy said.
The American Association of
University Professors opposes both
the bill and the exemption for
tenured faulty. The association
supported the 1977 bill pushing
retirement age from 65 to 70, but
says the proposed "uncapping" of
retirement age would present
problems for younger faculty.
Alfred Sumberg, Director of
Government Relations for the
association, adamantly opposes the
exemption for tenured faculty. "It
just doesn't make any sense," he
said. "College associations should
argue against the legislation
because it will limit the job market
for all college graduates, not just
teachers."
THE BILL, submitted just
before the close of the 99th
Congress, is not expected to pass in
the Senate. According to Tom
Butts, Assistant to the Provost, the
bill is not popular in the Senate
because of the opposition of the
American Association of Retired
People.
