General Grigorenko is there - with no beat Kudirka senseless and haul him back to
name. their Soviet ship when he sought asylum.
Our Central'' Intelligence Agency,
operatives in the U.S.S.R. have suddenly
uncovered the existence -- alive -- of great.'
Red Army Gen, Pyotr G: Grigorenko, the
proud wearer of every Soviet military honor.
. For four years even General Grigorenko's
family has not known whether he was dead.
The Kremlin had this Soviet war hero
judged insame in '1969 for protesting the
Soviet Aug. 20.21, 1968, reconquest of
Czechoslovakia.
General Grigorenko was, of course, sane.
But the KGB secret police seized him in the
middle of the night near Moscow's Kinietsky`
Bridge and confined him secretly in the
KGB's Serbsky Institute. He vanished.
After about a year there the Kremlin
transferred this war hero to Chernyakhovsk
Hospital, a psychiatric prison near the Baltic
city of Kaliningrad.
On Sept. 21 our CIA agents saw the KGB
take from Kalinin.Krxd"""uhat remains of
General Grigorenko. He was hauled to the
ghastly madhouse at Stolbovaya, 30
kilometers from Moscow.
though he could straighten horseshoes and
tear telephone books with his bare hands:
Today his health is shattered. His eyes are
dull as pebbles: his eyeglasses thick and
'mottled. He gazes around him dazed as a
hammered steer. He walks with a shuffle and
his backbone is curved like a bow.
Meanwhile, bemuddled General Yofin

So did Czechoslovakian Premier.

In March 1971 the Mexican government, .
expelled Charge d'Affairs Dimitri Diakonov
and four other Soviet "diplomats" at the:.
Soviet embassy in Mexico City for building a
spy ring.
Failure has its Kremlin penalty. Our CIA.
agents have now uncovered Diakonov. He is.
in Moscow's Butirki Prison. Diakonov is in.
solitary confinement - and has been ever:
since he left Mexico City.
On Sept. 24. 1971, fed up with the growing!
;Soviet espionage rings and saving so. in a
.scathing official proclamation, the British
government expelled 90 Soviet agents on that
single day and 20 more suspected agents.
The CIA finds nearly the entire 90 are in
prison. They are jailed at Alma Ata, deep in,
the Siberian tundras -- part of the great
Soviet legion of the living dead.
Our CIA agents have likewise uncovered
the whereabouts of a l:ithdanian sailor whom'
you may recall. His is Simas Kudirka.
The U. S. Coast- Guard officials, in an inex-
cusable lapse, scandalously allowed Soviet
bully boys to come aboard the U. S. cutter,

. Persecuted Josef Cardinal Mindszenty,
recently in the United States, took refuge for
a full 15 years in the gray, weather-beaten U.
S. Embassy on Budapest's Szabadsag Ter
(so-called Freedom Square) urtil he left on
Sept. 28, 1971, age 79. And through that
embassy the CIA has located the Hungarian
AVH secret police's former chief.
Years ago the Soviet KGB in Budapest, for
reasons unknown, locked him up before
kidnapping Britisher Horace Greville,
wanted in Moscow in the famous Oleg.
Perovsk-iv espionage case.
The former chief is at Szolnok, the
garrison headquarters for the Soviet Red
Army in llungary -- still in prison.
The leopard has changed his spots?
This is conimunisni on practice. While we
rejoice in the U. S.-Soviet entente. we must
never trust this enemy. lie is always
dangerous - especially when he seems ac-`
cornudating.
The danger is never over. It dust changes
