Russian Embassies Known Spy Centers

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON < UPI» — The Kremlin claims a U.S. diplomat in Moscow was caught paying a bundle of rubles to a Russian citizen hired to spy for the West. Citizens of the West can only hope that the Russian citizen was a good spy—if the story be true, at all—and that the bundle of rubles bought a bundle of useful information. Good spies are hard to come by. The practise of directing espionage activity out of an embassy should not be shocking to the Russian Communists- It may be shocking to U.S. citizens. U.S. citizens are notoriously naive about such as that. As a group or individually, U.S. citizens who read about the U.S. diplomat in Moscow probably were not conditioned by knowledge to accept the news as not all bad. Directing espionage from the shelter of an 4*pbassy is something at which the Hujsian Communists are very han®, although they did not invent ito They consistently have offendec&n this respect in the Western capitals. Moreover, the record iMpublicand will prove that to be jibe. Two Other CmKb There are two blocftusters in the public record of the Kremlin's embassy spies. The first was published in 1946, a report by a Canadian royal commission set up to investigate some cops and robbers goings on when a code clerk in the Soviet embassy in Ottawa went over the fence to freedom. This clerk war Igor Gouzenko who delivered himself, hilt family and a satchel full of papers to the Canadian governmeuj He delivered them after ayWrong arm squad from the Sdvirt embassy had failed to break down his apartment door and drag all concerned back to the embassy compound. The papers and Gouzenko’s own story illuminated the manner in which the Soviets use their embassies as bases for espionage. At last reqports, Gouzenko and his family were living comfortably and happily in Canada. Under an assumed name, of course. Gouzenko’s story was remarkably supported by an Australian royal commission which reported in 1955. This report was a 483-page book of restrained and documented revelations of spying by Russia diplomatic officers. The Australian commissioners named 14 Soviet embassy diplomats who were known to have engaged in espionage in the 11 years, 1943-54, and three newsmen accredited to Australia as representatives of the Russian news agency, Tass.

switched sides, as Gouzenko previously had done in Canada. The master spy in Australia was Vladimir M. Petrov, a member of the Soviet diplomatic mission to Australia. Petrov produced secret embassy papers and was joined by his wife in switching allegiance. The commission reported: “All Petrov papers are authentic From these documents alone it plainly appears that for many years the Soviet Union had been using its embassy in Canberra as a cloak under which to control and operate espionage organizations in Austra- . Ha ” Embassy spying in Australia ceased soon after when diplomat--1 ic relations with the Soviet Union 1 were broken off. The record em- ' phatically demonstrates, however. ! that Soviet embassies then—and presumably now—were spy cen- ’ Iters in all Western capitals in- ’ eluding Washington, DC. i School Reporter dents and best musicians in each i band are selected to represent their school in the honor band. —P.M.H.S.— 1 Many pupils in the dramatics ‘ club have been making a variety j of posters for their play, which is i to be given October 30. , — P.M.H.S.The senior boys were out of c school Monday to sell advertise- - ments for the yearbook. —P.M.H.S.— The P.M.H.S. band has been > practicing the past few weeks for f the Halloween parade, October 31. ; —P.M.H.S.— - Six students of the chemistry i class went to the Fort Wayne war ter filtration plant Monday.
