Judith Copion In Denial 01 Charge Soys Data Taken Material For Book Washington. June 17 —(UPI— Judith Copion testified today that secret FBI data found on her when she was arrested in March were notes for a Washington satire she was writing, not material for a Russian spy ring. In cool, matter-of-fact tones, she dismissed the key points of the government's espionage charges as innocent coincidences that were misinterpreted by her accusers. The 28-year-oid government girl, taking the witness stand for the second day. repeated her blanket denial of the spy charge. She swore that she is and was loyal to the Vnited States, and that the Russian she is accused of conspiring with was only a platonic boy fiiend who for months forgot to tell heF he was married. I'nder the friendly questioning of her attorney. Archibald Palmer. Miss Copion laughed off the notes on "top-secret" documents which FBI agents discovered in her hang bag when they arrested her and Soviet engineer Valintin A Gubltchev in New York on March 4. The government contends the suspended Justice department analyst copied some secret FBI reports and stole others for transmission to Moscow via Gublfchev Actually, she told the jury, the papers in her purse were notes for a "seriocomic" hook she was writing about life in the nation's capital.

. KMI Your ■ntihi Every member of the family should own a life insurance policy, for there are heavy expense* whenever anyone dies, and it is well to be prepared. Otherwise financial worry may accompany grief over the death of a loved one. Hospital and doctor bills and all the other final expenses can amount to a considerable sum, especially in case of a long or complicated illness. Nobody wants to leave his family a burden of debt when the time comes for him to go. It isn't necessary. Life insurance is the obvious answer. (’all. Telephone or Write A" CARL A.
