WASHINGTON, Sept.-15-

The young Soviet naval offi-

when he * was through testify-
ing Nikita Kbrushcbev had

Capt. N 1 k o 1 a i Federovich
Artamonov, who fled the So-
viet Union last year, put it
bluntly to thb HCuse Commit.
tee on Un-American Activities.
"Since February 1955, So=

on the doctrine of surprise -

The capieIn toad specific. The
surprise., attack strategy was
contained, he said, In an article
in the Russian jourhal - 'Mili-
tary Thought," - restricted to
generals and admirals. It was
Written by Marshal Rotmis-
trov, chief of the Soviet atomic
weapons command.'
Artamonov emphasized that
such an article could not have
been Written on Rotmistrov's
own 1nitiatibe-that'It obstious-
ly reflected 'orders from on
1141 1% And the article was In-
tended, he said, "to prepare the
Soviet officers for Te' "starting

Artamonov was a c o r n f u I
when Nittle asked Sim
whether the Soviet Union
would launch a surprise attack
on the West if Communist
China went to war with a
member-nation of the free
world.
BRUSQUELY, Art a monov
replied: "I don't think Com-
munist China would start a
war without consulting with
and getting approval from the
Soviet Union. Then the Rut.
tion . . . available to me as a
Soviet officer and Communist
Party member that Soviet
military strategy is inconsiat-

nouncements."
That strategy was clarified
in a quotation from Rotmis-
trov's article read into the
record by the youthful de-
fector. "The clement of sur-
prise Is one of the decisive
conditions for achieving suc-
cess," the marshal wrote. "In
some cases a sudden attack
with new weapons may result
in the rapid collapse of the
government" under attack.
Under questioning by Com-
mittee Counsel Alfred 11L
Nittle, Capt. Artamonov also
provided the first public rev-
elation of the character of

`T r r' LET HIM HAVE IT, IKE
President Eisenhower will address the United Na-
tions next week Thursday. He will speak before the
Russian Premier, Nikita Khrushchev, has a chance
to unload his vials of insults and propaganda.
Uninvited, unhonored and unsung, Khrushchev is
coming to these shores with hate in his mind and heart.
Striking a posture of hypocrisy last May in Paris, he
blew up the summit conference, shedding crocodile
tears over the U. S. spy plane incident and then de-
nounced, insulted and ridiculed the American President.
He also cancelled the prospective visit of Mr. Eisen-:.,
.hower to Russia, obviously afraid that his own prestige t
in his own country would suffer if this American ji
apostle of world peace met the Russian rank and file t
face to face.
Last week in Washington, at a press conference re-
ferring to the Khrushchev sly appearance at the U. N.
as the head of the Russian delegation, the President
said in his contemplated address "I do not intend to
debase the United States by being a party of invective
and propaganda."
. This is the courteous, gentlemanly, quintessence of
the very highest quality of
on
e
octrine of
surprise attack in nuclear warfare and adds;'

The President will be making a grave mistake if he
doesn't make it forcefully' plain in language the world
can understand that- this country will not only pursue

Too long and too often we've handled Mr. K. with,
kid gloves. This Kremlin bully is an artful genius in the'
art of propaganda. Behind the facade of his smile and'
quips is' a mixture of bluff, hatred, masked ruelty l
deception and no respect for solemn agre is and ob.
ligations. - , -...
He'll be listening to the Preside of the United
States next Thursday. It's Ike's ch.:nce to let him un-
daitstand he can't come waving an=alive branch which
conceals' his missiles and U-boats. We know they are
there:.-and are not cringing.

eouseommit-
tee on un-American Activities announced that he
1 was about to testify in one of its sessions. Later it
I was disclosed that Artamanov, former commander
of a destroyer In the Soviet navy, told the committee
the Russian strategy has, Since February, 1955, been
based on the doctrine of a nuclear surprise attack
on the United States.
And the Russian refugee added: "If Khrushchev
believed the strength of the Soviet Union was over-
whelming, he would, of course, deal a stunhing blow
to tbewest.11-
That latter statement should answer to some ex-
tent the ill-advised statements that too frequently
are made by Americans about the military weakness
of their country., On the other hand, the hush-hush
treatment given ?the defection of Artamanov is in
such sharp contrast with the extravaganza recently
staged in Moscow when two American traitors were
presented on television that one is led to wonder
'ho w ]long he Pentagon will continue to yield to the
!Soviet ad antages'that once gone cannot be recap-
tured.
Wh^ the Kremlin has long since known about
-many aspects of the struggle between communism
and freedom cannot properly be labeled "classified

The USSR, Might Attcick
One of the great errors some in the
United States, for the most part in
relative innocence, have committed It
to advance the notion that because the
A- and IIbombs are capable of such
near-total devaatatidn, no nation would
begin a war certain to bring a-:zh

The idea has grown that whatever the
Russians intended to "win," they would
get without overt military action, using
such nuclear tools or not using them.

Number of U.S. Traitors Is Small
The two traitors. Martin apd Mitchell. who
went over to the Reds a short time ago, carried
a great deal of valuable information as they had
access'to America's most important military sec-
rets, and all of the nation's secret codes, but
the number of Americans who have gone behind
the Iron Curtain is trifling compared with the
number of Russian officers who have defected to
the United States. The latest reports place the
number of officers who have come to this coun-
try from Iron Curtain countries, at about 9.000,
and they have given, and are giving American
military officers important information all of
the time. The most disquieting information is
that given Captain Nikolai Artamonov who
told the Houle Committc on Un?Arrierlcan actiW-
ties Wednc fay that the Russians have been
under order to be prepared to stage a nuclear
attack on the United States ever since 1953.
Ile said further that Khrushchcv would stage
an attack on this country at any time if he feels
that he could win at one stroke, and that he is
not willing to wait indefinitely for this country
to go Communist. The Russian dictator appar-
ently feels that even present progress is too
slow in this country.

"But unlike most, they load the
fish on before they leave port
These ships are after a different
kind of fish."
He said the trawlers fre-
quently -seen oft the United
States coasts undo'lbtedly were
on intelligence missions. Since
they operate In international
waters he said, there Is little
that can be done about them ex-
cept to keep track of them.
lie said their purpose was to
detect radar installat!ons, take
depth soundings and make
charts, follow United States
naval activities if possible, and
locate radio stations for possible
directional purposes.

WASHINGTON, Sept.' 16--Al
former Soviet naval officer who
fled to the West last year said
today the Soviet Union has a
nuclear. submarine. .
He said he also had reason to
think that the Soviet Navy'now
can launch missiles from sub-
marines. Some Soviet surface
ships are fitted out for missile-

Soviet destroyer in the Ealtio
fleet. He fled to asylum in"
the West in June, 1959, from
the Polish port of Gdynia,
where his unit was based.',
The defector-who once was
cited in the Soviet press as a
model officer-indicated there
was no reason for speculation
about whether the Soviets have
a nuclear submarine. He de-
clined, for security reasoni, to
gay precisely how be' knew or
to say how many such vessels
there were according to his In-
formation. .

f WE HAD a pleasant recent afternoon at a session of the
House Un-American Activities committee hearing a
Russian defector - but those Soviet experts sitting on
either side of us kept us baffled, .
One of the experts was Gennadi Shishkin, a personable
young man who Is chief of the Tars news bureau here.
The other was Leon Volkov, also an amiable youth, who
Is Newsweek's authority on Soviet shenanigans.
As the Interpreter translated the remarks of Soviet Naval
Capt. Nikolai Artamonov, it was clear that Mr. Shiskin was
unhappy. We asked him what the trouble was.
"That Interpreter." he said, 'ire Is not translating accu?
rately. He Is not complete. For Instance, when Capt.
Artamonov was asked whether he got special favors as a
member of the, Communist Party, the Interpreter didn't
? bother to mention that Capt.,.Artamonov said being a party
member meant he had to ao a lot of unpaid extra work in
his spare time. Also, the Interpreter doesn't get all the
. ? nuances; the Captain emphasized that party membership
meant added responsibility but the Intrepreter didn't say
that."
? We turned to Mr. Volkov. "How about it Leon?" we
asked "Sbs
s
ik
u1
ays the interpreter is a-bum."
"Nonsense," Mr. Volkov answered. "He's one of the best
I've ever heard. He translates everytime Capt. Aortamonov
clears his throat"
Incidentally. altho Capt. Artamonov has been In New York
since he defected more than a year ago, he's still un-
employed. His board and room are paid for by the United
States government, probably the Central Intelligence
Agency. altho that outfit is not saying. His rank, Captain,
equivalent to that of a commander in the
T. Third Navy.

DEFECTORS:
The Risk, the Danger
Behind locked doors in the Old House
Office Building, the Penthgon tried its
best last week to be reassuring about the
defection of Bernon F. Mitchell and
William H. Martin, the two National
Security Agency employes who turned
up in Russia.
In offering a stout defense of the gov-
ernment system of security checks, J.
Vincent Burke Jr., the Defense Depart-
ment's bulky, bustling general counsel,
testified that, save for an instance in
Mitchell's youth, there was no evidence
of homosexuality in the traitors at the
time of their hiring.
This drew a quick blast from testy
Francis E. Walter, chairman of the
House Un-American Activities Commit-
tee, who declared that the NSA's secu-
rity procedures have been "very sloppy"
and that the agency moreover has a
"very serious perversion problem." Why,
said Walters, a psychiatrist who had
been treating Mitchell told him that he
once diZh-ssed with worried officials of
the NSA the possibility of starting a clinic
there, "because perversion was quite a
problem and they didn't know what to
do about it." -
The real crux of the case, though,
came when Burke told a subcommittee of
the House Armed Services Committee
how much Mitchell and Martin knew.
ltrntnt: Burke insisted that the two
defectors could not help Russia crack
U.S. codes. NOT, he maintained, did they
know anything about the U-2 flights,
prior to the ill-fated sortie of Francis
Cans Powers.
But Burke conceded that the traitors
could help Russia improve' their codes.
And he confirmed that they had access to
the top-secret files from the day they en-
tered the NSA in 1957 and could call for
the files 'as needed" (NE%VS%VEEK, Sept.
19). It was possible. Burke went on,
that the defectors may even have taken
some briefing notes from the files with
them when they headed for Moscow.
To the Congressional probers, who
planned further bearings, Burke's testi-
mony was hardly reassuring. After all, in
August, when it was first announced that
Mitchell and Martin were missing, the
Pentagon said they were minor clerks,

Although he w?asn t billed as a coun-

the Russian defector who was brought

certainly was calculated to serve that
purpose. He was a former naval captain

from a practical military point of view,
he could contribute more hard intelli-

Artanionov: 'liege for measure
S - % -?c.:
Mitchell could to Russia. American in-
telligence officials, in fact, called him
.the most valuable" Soviet defector in
more than a decade.
Actually, 32-year-old Capt. Nikolai
Federovich Artarnonov had been in this
country for fifteen months, but his pres-
ence had been kept secret until his ap-
pearance last week before the House
Un-American Activities Committee.
Obviously, the witness-slim, bespec-
tacled, and mustached-was not going
to repeat at an open hearing the kind of
military information he reportedly has
been giving to intelligence agents in long
months of questioning. But he made at
least two interesting points:
'The great fleet of Russian "fishing
trawlers" that roam the world-and spe-
cifically the coastal waters of the US.-
are definitely espionage vessels, loaded
with electronic listening and watching
devices. They are also loaded with fish,
but the fish are put aboard back home
as stage props.
'Soviet strategic planning centers on the
concept of a knockout nuclear attack on
the U.S.-but Russian Premier NikitJ
Khrushchev obviously would not risk this
unless he were sure that the first blow
would be a decisive one. As of now,
Khrushchev cannot be sure.
Artamonov also declared-though not
before the committee-that the Russians
have two nuclear submarines capable
of launching missiles; however, he
added, these are still in the testing stage,
and the Soviet Navy, by and large, is
still about five years behind the U.S. in
this respect.
Another encouraging report from
Artamonov. has it that there has been
growing dissatisfaction in Russian mili-
tary forces ever since Khrushchev fired
Marshal Ceorgi K. Zhukov in 1957; and
it has become increasingly intense, he
believes, since the dismissal of 1,250,0M
Red military by Khrushchev early this
year. Whether or not this is just the cus-
tomary resentment that fills military men
in times of cuts, he did not say.
Artamonov is a graduate of the Rus.ian

equivalent of Annapolis and was consid-
ered one of the most promising of the
younger Russian naval officers. But he
shared the discontent that followed
Zhukov's dismissal and became increas-
ingly curious about the United States.
In June of last year he made his es-
cape simply by jumping his own ship in a
Scandinavian port and asking the nearest
U.S. Embassy for asylum. His wife ac-
companied him, and the two in recent
months have been living quietly in New
York. One reason Washington kept his
presence secret for so long was that until
this year his mother was still living in
Russia. Since her death, he has no fam-
ily ties in his homeland.

DEFECTORS:
The Risk, the Danger
Behind locked doors in the Old House
Office Building, the Pentagon tried its
best last week to be reassuring about the
defection of Bernon F. Mitchell and
William H. Martin, the two National
Security Agency employes who turned
up in Russia.
In offering a stout defense of the gov-
ernment system of security checks, J.
Vincent Burke Jr., the Defense Depart-
ment's bulky, bustling general counsel,
testified that, save for an instance in
Mitchell's youth, there was no evidence
of homosexuality in the traitors at the
time of their hiring.
This drew a quick blast from testy
Francis E. Walter, chairman of the
House Un-American Activities Commit-
them when they headed for ~!~ osco~o:"" `hlitchell'M"c'ould `E'o Russla:''Arnbrl 1
To the Congressional probers, who
planned further hearings, Burke's testi-
mony was hardly reassuring. After all, in
August, when it was first announced that
Mitchell and Martin were missing, the
Pentagon said they were minor clerks,
with "no access" to information damaging
to U.S. security.
The `valuable' Russian
Although he wasn't billed as a coun-
terattraction to the Martin-Mitchell case,
the Russian defector who was brought
out of wraps in Washington last week
certainly was calculated to serve that
purpose. He was a former naval captain
-the onetime commander of a Soviet de-
stroyer-and it was just possible that,
from a practical military point of view,
he could contribute more hard intelli-
tee, who declared that the NSA's secu- gence
"
rity procedures have been "very sloppy
and that the agency moreover has a
'very serious perversion problem." Why,
said Walters, a psychiatrist who had
been treating Mitchell told him that he
once discussed with worried officials of
the NSA the possibility of starting a clinic
there, 'because perversion was quite a
problem and they, didn't know what to
do about it." -
The real crux of the case, though,
came when Burke told a subcommittee of
the House Armed Services Committee
how much Mitchell and Martin knew.
Denial: Burke insisted that the two
defectors could not lielp Russia crack
U.S. codes. Nor, he maintained, did they
know anything about the U-2 flights,
prior to the ill-fated sortie of Francis
Cary Powers. -
But Burke conceded that the traitors
could help Russia improve their codes.
And he confirmed that they had access to
the top-secret files from the day they en-
tered the NSA in 1957 and could call for
the files as needed" (NER'SWEEB, Sept.
19). It was possible, Burke went on,

ren Leuten aus der Schrei-
rci zur Freictunde auf einen
r vier Gefangnishofe hitl-
;tretcn. Einrnal in der Wo-
ninimt er am Handball
el teil, .wcgen der scho-
.t Luft". Einmal in der
relic sicht er sich von 18.15
r his 21.50 Uhr das Fern-
,programm im Gemein-
aftsraum an. Und an je-
n Donnerstag geht er in die
uppe des Anstaltslehrers
ihien, um klassische Mu-
zu horen. Aber Freunde
er im Knast nicht gefun-
n. Zu ihm halten nur die
!tgefangenen Rademacher,
kel and der Jugoclawe Du-
n Lukic, wegen eines Eigen-
msdeliktes zu \ icrcinhalb
hren Haft verdonnert.
Abwechslung in den eintu-
gcn Gefan.enenalltag bringt
it der Ausflue. den Guillau-
e alle sechs Wochen macht,
.nn cr seine Frau Christel
der Justizvollzugsanstalt
Sln-Ossendorf besuchen
,rf. Aus Sicherlicitsgrunden
rd er auch hierhin in einem
t%v der Anstalt and nicht in
r ,Grbnen Minna" chauf-
?rt. Ganz fursorgender Ehe-
ann. bringt Gunter Guil-
ume seiner Christe] stets
3bak and Kaffee mit.
Guillaume, in der DDR als
/crdientcrKundschafter des
olkes" gefeiert, ist auf dem
sefpunkt seiner Karriere an-
-langt. Auf den ersten Blick
t er einer on 500 Haft-
igen - darunter 77 Le-
mnslangliche - in der Straf-
,llzugsanstalt Rheinbach.
Doch seine Auftraggeber
ibcn ihn nicht im Stich ge-
ssen. Die Regicrung der
DR, das Ministerium fur
aatssicherheit. sorgt dafur,
tB cs ihm bescer geht als
:n andcren Miteefangenen.
tindestens einmal im Mo-
tt bekommt Gunter Guil-
ume Bcsuch von Martin
humann, dem Abgesandten
.r DDR-Vertretung in Bonn,
m einem Mitglied seiner
tarn
,,grof3cn Familic", wie cr sagt.
Dem Besucher teilt er seine
GenuBinittclwunschc mit. Und
er wird prompt beliefert, sei
es mit Salami undOliven Oder
mit teuren Tabakwaren and
eclben Arbeitshandschuhen.
Die Aufinerksamkciten wer-
den ihm von der Anstaltslei-
tung diskret nach dem soge-
nannien EinschluB am Abend
zuecstellt, damit die andcren
Haftlinge nichtsdavon merken.
Denn die Lebensmittelliefe-
rungen verstoRen strengge-
nommen gegen die Strafvoll-
zugsordnung, wonach Gefan-
gene nur zum Geburtstag, zu
Ostern and zu Weihnachten
derartige Liebesgaben erhal-
ten durfen. .Sure politischen

Guillaume cinen aufmcrksam
gewordenen Zellennachbarn,
haben in der DDR dieselben

cin stillschwcigendes Abkom-
men zwischen den 'Regierun-

Besonders nett zeigte sich
Guillaumes .groBe Familie"
am 1. Mai dieses Jahres. Am
,,Tag der Arbeit" lief3 ihm
die DDR-Vertretung einen
Straul3 von 15 roten Tulpen
zukommen.
An diesem Feiertag lud
,.der Spion, der aus der Kalte
kam", wie Guillaume von sei-
nen Knast-Kollegen genannt
wird, ein paar Mithiftlinge zu
einer kleinen Feier ein. Es
gab selbstgebrannten Schnaps
(als Experte hat sich der Mit-
gefangene Harry Mangel her-
vorgetan), der in einer der
Zellen mit Hilfe eines Tauth-
sieders destilliert worden war,
dazu auf Speck gebratene
Spiegeleier, funf Stuck fur je-
den, and ein paar dick-e Zi-
garren. Um halb vier nach-
mittaes warGuntcrGuillaume

Kein Wunder, als DDR-
Oberst (?Ich muB nur vor

Jahren tin gutes t:inkommen:
etwa 2300 bis 2500 Mark
monatlich, tin Betrag, der in
den Jahren seiner Agcnten-
tatigkeit in der Bundesrepu-
blik zu einer ansehnlichen
Summe angewachsen ist. Mit
400 Mark pro Monat unter-
stiitzt er seiner Sohn Pierre.
der als Volontar beim Ost-
berliner SED-Zentralorgan
,,Neues Deutschland" ein kar-
ges Salar bezieht. Guillaume
junior, 20 Jahre alt, hat sei-
nen Vater hereits cin paarmal
in Rheinbach besucht. Die
Gesprache z.wischen Vater
and Sohn werden jcdcsmal
von Justizoberinspektor Go-
bel uberwacht, den Guillaume
in sein Herz geschlossctt hat.
?ldt konnte keinen besseren
Beamten dabei haben, denn
er geht oft mal raus, um zu
tetefonieren."
Nach den Besuchen des Soh-
nes erzahlteVatcr Guillaume:
?Er ist Stolz darauf, cincn so

Doppelieben als DDR-Spion

aus.
Guillaume uber den friihe-
ren DDR-Staatsratsvorsitzen-
den Walter Ulbricht; .Auf

Kerl. Der hat es richtig ge-
meint, der hat es richtig ge-

Gefangener X*: ,Was hat
der Ulbricht denn richtig ge-

Guillaume: .Der hat den
Staat druben ge?estigt, der hat
konsequent den Klassengeg-

Gefangener Y: ,Was ist
das denn, ein Klassengeg-
ner?"
Guillaume: ?Das ist ciner,
der die Dinge wiedcr ruck-

Bcsitz wiedcr haben and die
alien Verh5itrisse wieder her-
stellen will. Und so einermuB

In the summer of 1966, Mrs. Shay
drin said yesterday, two agents of the,
Soviet Committee for State Security.,
the KGB,- approached Artamonovi
Shadrin in Washington. Though* he,
had changed his name, she said, be,

didn't know how the KGB found him

The KGIJ agents asked him t spy.
for his motherland. Airs. Shadrin!
said that he reported this approach tot
the FBI, which asked him to accept;
the KGB's proposition. In other'
words, the FBI proposed that he becyy
come a double agent, feeding doe-I
tored "Intelligence" back to hiss
Soviet contacts.
Other government sources -con-
firmed that the FBI. turned Arta-
monov/Shadrin into a "double.".
Mrs. Shadrin's lawyer, Copaken,'
said he had been told by government
officials that Artamonov/Shadrin'
ae eed to work as a double without
pay-he volunteered his services. But
this was only after one of his superl
ors at the DIA told Artamonov/;
Shadrin that he ought to accept the:
FBI's proposition, Copaken said. He'
was originally reluctant, because bet
had been told he had been sentenced-
to death in absentia in the L'.S.S.R.
the lawyer said.
According to Copaken, Artomonov/
Shadrin went on missions for the
FBI to Montreal in 1971 and Vienna
in 1972. In the Austrian capital, the
lawyer said, the KGB gave him train-
ing in the use of various secret spy-,
ng devices. .
`Doctored in Langley'?
In all these contacts with the KGB,
Copaken said. Artamonov/Shadrin
fed material "doctored in Langley"
(at Central Intelligence Agency head-
quarters in suburban Virginia) to the
Russians. The FBI regarded this op--
cr ation as a way of learning more'
about KGB operations in the United'
States. Copaken said. -
In 1975 the Soviets asked Art3?
monov/Shadrin to return to Vienna,
Copaken said- t: ntll that time the,
lawyer said, it was his understanding
that the FBI nerer fully informed the

activities as a double agent- But itz

By Mrs. Shadrin's account, this tale
from out of the cold begins in 1958,
when a handsome young Soviet naval
officer-Artamonov, then 30--came to
Poland on an assignment to help his
? comrades in the Polish navy train
bailors from Indonesia. She iaiet him
then and they fell in love. They spent
:eight months together in Poland.
Escape in a Launch

nn: The two of them decided to use
the launch to defect, she said yester-

explained. They took the launch from
Poland across the Baltic to Sweden,
'here they defected. The Swedes
turned them over to the United
States, which took them both to a
"safe house" on the outskirts of Frank-
furt, Mrs. Shadrin recounted.
Several sources from the intelligence
community said this was all possible,
but also somewhat suspicious. One
source noted that Dirs. Shadrin placed

Shadrir to Vienna.
Copaken--"lin has been working on
the' case for nearly 38 njonths and
says he has talked to countless gov-
ernment officials about it-says this
is what happened next:
The rBi and CIA argued about
how to deal with the Soviet request
to Artamonnv/Shadrin to come to
Vienna. They compromised on thin
formula: the CIA would prepare.
phony "intelligence" for him to pass
to the Soviets, and would provide an
agent to "run" the operation. But it
was regarded as an FBI operation.
and the CIA station in Vict:na would
have nothing to do with it.
That agreed, Sir. and Mrs. Shadrin
went to Vienna and checked into the
Hotel Bristol. On Dec. 13. Artamonov/
Shadrin went, as he had been in-
structed, to the steps of the Votivkir-
che, a Catholic cathedral on the Ring-
strasse in Vienna. There he met a man
who invited him into a car, wbere'a
second man waited. The trio then
drove to a fish restaurant on the out-
skirts of Vienna. When the meeting
ended, the Soviets asked him to re-
turn to the same meeting place two
days later. They also told him he had
been given the rank of lieutenant
colonel in the KGB.
No Surveillance
The FBI had insisted that there bet
no surveillance of Artamonov/Shad-I
rin's contacts with the KGB In Vienna,!
for fear that the Soviets might spot'
surveillance and realize he was a
double. The FBI didn't realize (this
is still Copaken's version) that the
U.S. consulate was located on the 7th
floor in an office building in clear
view of the steps of the Votivkirche--
so photo surveillance would have been
simple. But there wasn't any, accord-
ing to the lawyer.
The evening of Dec. 20 Artamonov/
Shadrin left his wife in the Bristol
and took a cab to the. church. No
American official of any kind has
seen him since. _.
Still, according to Copaken, a pro-
foundly mysterious aspect of the tale
occurred at this point. By late evening
Mrs. Shadrin got nervous, and she be-
gan to call the CIA agent "running"
the operation. The agent was supposed
to be in a safe house in Vienna, but
wasn't. The agent. according to Cqpa-
ken, was at a dinner party. (Copaken.
says he later had a chance to "inter-
ro_ate" this agent, and that he will
"go to my grave" baffled by the agent's
role.)
Even the dinner party story didn't'
entirely explain the agent's absence,
Copaken says, because the part':

Staff Reporter of Tae .1ALLSTR l er JOPA.,AL
On the evening of Dec. 20. 1973, an Amer-
ican working undercover for the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation walked to the steps of
the Votivkirche in. Vienna for a prearranges'
meeting at the cathedral with Oleg Kozlov
and .Mikhail Kuryshev, two agents for the
KGB. the Soviet secret police. It was his last
stroll on free soil. He has never been seen
rInce.
The disappearance of the American, Ni-
cholas Shadrin.. hasn't been publicized or
even publicly acknowledged. The Russians
won't concede that he was kidnapped-
though the U.S. believes he was-especially
not from the capital of a neutral nation. And
U.S. officials aren't anxious. to disclose the
bureaucratic bungling that-preceded his dis-
appearance and the diplomatic blunders
that may be keeping him in captivity.
But Mr. Shadrin's fate could become a
prickly political Issue soon Whether for
good reason or not, his many admirers In
the U.S. Intelligence community fear that he
is being abandoned by the U.S. - even
though the State Department insists it is
doing its best-to get Mr. Shadrin released, if
e is still alive.. -
Now, some of Mr. Shadrin's friends are
beginning to speak up about what they feel
are the government's half-hearted efforts to
retrieve him, and details are seeping out.
They raise troublesome questions - espe-
cially for an administration espousing hu-

= ISRAEL COMPLETED a detailed Mld-
east peace plan to present to Carter. -? .
Prime Minister Begin said he won unani.
mous approval from his cabinet ministers
after an hour-long meeting in which the plan
was outlined. Begin didn't give any specifics
of the proposals he wants to offer Arab lead-
ers at the Geneva talks that could reconvene
in mid-October, saying he wants to dLscus
them first with the U.S. President Despite
the official silence, Arab recognition of Is-
rael is known to be a key issue, along with
questions on a Palestinian homeland, Israeli
occupation of seized territories and secure
borders. But the plan contains no maps.
Israeli sources said Begin now is
aiming for an overall settlement, rather
than more interim agreements. The
main point he is expected to press when
he visits Carter next Tresdn y is his tcrA-
'= ingress to discuss anything at Geneve. -

Sadat also said the issue of linking a Pa-

member. In the House, -the Committee on.
Un-American Activities eagerly put him on
the witness stand to denounce Soviet expan-
sionism abroad and repression at home; he
testified under his. given name, Nikolai Fe-
dorovich Artamonov- (he chose to use the
name Shadrin after his defection).
In the early- 19609; Mr. Shadrin began
working for the Defense Intelligence Agency
as an analyst of Soviet naval literature ("he
was an excellent man," a superior recalls),
and he lectured once a year at the- Naval
War College. The-. . Russians reacted fu-
riously. trying and convicting him in absen-
tia on charges of treason. His sentence was
death. .
Nevertheless, starting in 1966 or so, Mr.
Shadrin heeded his adopted country's call to
serve without pay as a counterintelligence
agent acting under FBI direction. At sub-
stantial risk, he pretended that he desired to
return to Russia, feigned cooperation with

James Wooten, an FBI man who controlled
Mr. Shadrin's counterspy activities for 10
years.
The Fateful Mtgaion-
Then came the fateful mission to Vienna
in December 1975. Mr. Shadrin took his wife
along (to go skiing, he told her?. An initial
meeting with the two KGB agents on the.
night of Dec. 18 went smoothly: -
Mr. Shadrin became edgy, however, per-
haps because the Russians said he soon
would be promoted to colonel in the KGB
and he knew the KGB commonly awards
such promotions to marked men as a way of
making them feel trusted. So after a CIA of-
ficer had debriefed him, next to a running
shower in Suite 361 of the Bristol Hotel in Vi-
enna, he told. Mrs. Shadrin the names of
agents Kozlov and Kuryshev and asked her
to write them down. "Something apparently
was said or inferred which made him con-
cerned.** she recalls.
The acting CIA station chief in Vienna
had canceled all leaves and had planned to
keep Mr. Shadrin under protective surveil-
lance. "We could have put people on the
street or in autos," he says. But the Rus-

So%ict navy captain who dclected

came a consultant to the Defense In-'

Nicholas G. Shadrin.
Since'his disappearance the U. S.
government has repeatedly asked the
Soviet Union for information about
Shadrin, or Artamonov, but without

Whatever his name, his case, hith-

with him in 1959 - said she believes
that her husband was kidnaped by
two Soviet secret police (KGB) offi-
cers on the streets of Vienna while
she was waiting for him in a room in
that city's elegant Hotel Bristol. The
American officials who know the
story of Shadrin say they generally
believe that this is what happened to
him, but not all are certain.
According to well-placed sources,
questions were raised about Shadrin
- then Artan.orov - when he was
first interrogated by American offi-
cial; in 1959 at a reception center for
Union.
These doubts were soon rejected,
however, and Artamonov was wel-
coined to the United States as a genu-
ine defector. In 1960 he testified be-
fore the House Coint,tittee on Un-
American Activities, warning that the
Soviet Union had a secret plan to ?
launch a surprise nuclear attack'
against the United States. ' ?
Then, after changing his name to
Shadrin (though doing nothing to-
change his physical appearance, ac-

By David Espo
Arc:u;.ted Preu
A Russian navy Cr ptain who became a Cold War
defector to the United States disappeared 16
months ago while on a spy mission in Vienna.
A lawyer says he believes Nicholas Shadrin is in
a Soviet military prison, despite official and pri-
vate efforts to arrange his release through a spy
trade.
The lawyer, Richard Copaken, said last night he
has held five meetings in West Berlin since he was
asked by Shadrin's wife to become involved in the
case. He didn't identify the participants.
In addition Cupaken said that two U.S. secre-
taries of state have discussed the case with Rus-
sian diplomats and that President Gerald R. Ford
wrote a letter on the subject late last year to Soviet
President Leonid I. Brezhnev.
THE CARTER ADMINISTRATION also has be-
come involved in Shadrin's case. ButCopaken said
the Ford and Carter administrations are guilty of
"serious blunders and missed opportunities." He
called his disclosure of Shadrin's plight a "cry of
desperation."
Copaken said Shadrin, a destroyer commander
in the Russian navy, defected to the United States
in June 1959, at least in part because he wanted to
marry a Polish woman but was forbidden to do so
under Soviet law. The woman defected with him,
and.they were married after arriving in this coun-
try.
The lawyer said Shadrin began providing Intelli-
gence information to U.S. agencies after his defec-
tion and eventually went to work for the
government in an intelligence position.
The Washington Star ntu-.eoy. July 14.1977
But In 1966 Shadrin was ap;,r oachcd by two
agents from the KGB, the Soviet secret pr.lice, and
was asked to spy for his homeland. Ins:cad.
Copa'..en said, Shidrin went to the FBI and was
persuaded to become a double agent, fecein; doc-
tored intelligence information to the Russians
under the guidance of FBI agents.
SO SECRET WAS his new life, Copakcn said.
that Shadrin kept It from his wife.
He continued his double-agent role for nine
years, until he was sent to Vienna in December
1975 and arranged a rneetirg with KGB Eg.nts
there. After one such session he disappeared, and
Copaken said he believes Shadrin was taken to a
mlitary prison in Russia.
The lawyer said Henry Kissinger, then secre-
tary of state, discussed the disappearance with
Anatoly Dobrynin, the Soviet ambassador, but that
the Russians had no information to provide.
The Washington lawyer, hired shortly afterward
by Mrs. Shadrin, established a private line of com-
munications and held the three meetings i.. West
Berlin last year. he said.
"THERE WAS a cardinal rule laid down In this
private channel for plausible deniability" that
would enable the Russians to deny that the talks
were being held, the lawyer said.
Nevertheless, Copal:en said when he suggested
that Shadrin be released in exchange for Soviet
spy Sarkis Paskaliar., the Russians refused the
offer. ,
Instead, he said they hinted broadly that the re-
lease of Gunther Guillaume would satisfy them.
Guillaume Is a Communist spy whose presence at
the top level of the West German government led
to the downfall of Chancellor Willy Brandt.
Copaken said his negotiations collapsed, how-
ever, because a top U.S. official brought up the
matter again with the Russians In violation of the
ground rules established for the private neptia-
Lions.

The M"yste:y'of the
4pearing Double Agent
? ti-IKu1LAI F. ABTAMONUY
i ' . , . became Nichols G. Shadrin
By Robert G. Kaiser,
. w.ahLUton Pest &6&M WrM
A Soviet navy captain who defected
to the United States in 1959 and was
turned into a double agent by the FBI
in 1966 disappeared in Vienna 18
months ago when he was.supposed to
be meeting Soviet intelligence agents
The 'man who disappeared had de-
fected under the name Nikolai F. Ar-
tamonov. In the early 1960s he be-
came a consultant to the Defense In-
telligence -Agency with the name
Nicholas G. Shadrin.
Since his disappearance the U. S.
government has repeatedly asked the
Soviet Union for information about
Shadrin, or Artamonov, but without
substantial result -
Whatever his nacre, his Case, bit'
erto unreported anywhere. Is a re-
markable Cold War eapiocage tale
with a plot that might have been
invented by John Le Carre or Len
Deighton..Only it happened.
Shadrin's wife-Dr. Blanks Shadrin,
a Polish-born dentist who defected
with him in 1959 - said she believes
that her husband was kidnaped by
two Soviet secret police (KGB) offi-
cers on the streets of Vienna while
she was waiting for him in a room in
that city's elegant Hotel Bristol The
American officials who know the
story of Shadrin so they generally
believe that this is what happened to
him, but not all are certain.
According to well-placed sources,
que.tlons were raised about Shadrin
- then Artamonov - when be -was

Shadrin (though citing nothing to
change his pbyslcal' appearance, ac-

as a "consultant" to the Defense Intel-

Intelligence agency. His job there was
not important," according to his wife,
although she and others referred
to Artamonov/Shadrin's "brilliance."
Government sources said he did not
hold a sensitive position. He wa?t
specialist on the Soviet navy, they
say. ? d
Many of his colleagues In govern-
ment service attest to his reliability
and loyalty to his new country. (He
became an American citizen, by spe-

The Washington Post learned of the
~~. story last month and began to make
y., inquiries. The Post confirmed from
M government sources the central ele-
. meats of Artsmonov/Shadrin's defec-
4. tion and ultimate disappearance. Mrs,
Shadrin and her lawyer, Richard D.
Copaken of the firm of Covington and
Burling, at first asked Tht Post not to
publish a story, also on the grounds
,rt that Shadrin's life might be endan-
gered,' and because there was still
some chance that he might be re-

Copaken also said, earlier this
month, that he felt time was running
out In the case, and that be'expected
to "go public" with It soon.
' ? Unbeknownst to The Post, Copaken
took the story to The Wall Street
Journal, apparently because he feared
that The Post would portray Aramo-
nov/Sardrln as a voluntary re-defec-
tor in its account of the affair. The
Wall Street Journal prepared an arti-
cle reportedly for publication today.

Copaken tried other channels. He
asked Chester Cooper, a former gov-
ernment official, and Cooper in turn
asked Stanley Karnow, a columnist
and former foreign correspondent for
the Post, to help arrange a meeting
with Victor Louis, a KGB operative
who acts as a "journalist" in Mos-
cow, and whom Karnow knew.
Copaken and Karnow met Lootus~s

cently in Moscow, according to Co-
paken, Louis told an American diplo-
mat that he received "an embarrassed
silence" when he asked in Moscow
about the Artamonov Shadrin case.

cause of what Vogel told him-that Ar-

Copaken came into the case in Feb-
ruary. His first gambit was to estab-
lish a channel to Wolfgang Vogel, an
East Berlin lawyer who arranged the
swap of Col. Rudolph Abel, the al-
leged Soviet spy in America, for
Francis Gary Powers, the U-2 pilot.
Copaken met Vogel and asked for
help.
Soon afterward Vogel indicated he
had "a mandate" tot talk further. He

cial, Copal'en understood. Vogel also
said that whatever business they did

By JERKY LANI1At'F3t
Staff Rrporter of THE WALLSTRKETJOCR!IAt.
On the evening of Dec. 20. 1975, an Amer-
ican working undercover for the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation walked to the steps of
the Votivkirche in Vienna for a prearrange'
meeting at the cathedral with Oleg Koziov
and Mikhail Kuryshev. two agents for the
KGB. the Soviet secret police. It was his last
stroll on free soil. Be has never been seen
since.
The disappearance of the American. Ni-
cholas Shadrin. hasn't been publicized or
even publicly acknowledged. The Russians
won't concede that he was kidnapped-
though the U.S. believes he was-especially
not from the capital of a neutral nation. And
U.S. officials aren't anxious to disclose the
bureaucratic bungling that preceded his dis-
appearance and the diplomatic blunders
that may be keeping him In captivity.
But Mr. Shadrin's fate could become a
prickly political issue soon. Whether for
good reason or not, his many admirers in
the U.S. intelligence community fear that he
is being abandoned by the U.S. - even
though the State Department ire sts it is
doing its best to get Mr. Shadrin released, U
he is still al!ve.
Now, some of Mr. Shadrin's friends are
beginning to speak up about what they feel
are the gov.?rnment's half-hearted efforts to
retrieve him, and details are seeping out.
They raise tro'!blescrle cuestions - espe-

the Ford administration derided not to make
a major push for Mr. Sh:i,lrin's return.
In January, outgoing Ccntra! Intelligence
Agency Director George Bush briefed
Jimmy Carter abo:it the Sh:iiarin case, and
now National Security Ad.iser Zbigniew
Brzezinski is iakit:g charge of it. He doesn't
sound particularly hopeful. "I fully sympa-
thize with your frustration and anxiety."
Mr. Brzezinski told Mrs. Shadrin in a letter
dated July 5. -I only wish I could strike a
more positive note and otter you immediate
reassurance.-
* As all this high-level attention attests, Ni-
cholas Shadrin wasn't just an ordinary spy.
He was a captain in the Soviet navy who
fled to the U S. in 1939. He brought along "a
great amount of good, hard intelligence
about Soviet military developments," says
retired Navy Capt. Thomas L. Dwyer. who
coordinated the months-long interrogation of
defector Shadrin.
Adds William Howe. a civilian then
working in the Office of Naval Intelligence:
"His information was extremely valuable.
Oar government had no doubt" that Mr.
Shadrin wasn't a Soviet agent.
Attention in Congress
At the CIA's request. Son. James East-
land, chairman of the Senate Judiciary
Committee and a conservative Mississippi
Democrat, helped to get through Congress
special legislation conferring U.S. citizen-
ship on the one-time Communist Committee Party y
member. In the House. the Un-American Activities eagerly- put him on
the witness stand to denounce Soviet expan-
sionism abroad and repression at home; he
testified under his given name. Nikolai Fe-
dorovich Artamonov the chow to use the
name Shadrin after his defectioni.
In the early 1960s. Mr. Shadrin began
working for the Defense Intelligence Agency
as an analyst of Soviet naval literature ("he
was an excellent man," a superior recalls'.
and he lectured once a year at the Naval
War College. The Russians reacted fu-
riously, trying and convicting him in absen-
tia on charges of treason. His sentence was
death.
Nevertheless, starting In 19:6 or so. Mr.
Shadrin heeded his adopted country's call to
serve without pay as a counterintelligence
agent acting under FBI direction. At sub-
stantial risk, he pretended that he desired to
return to Russia., feigned cooperation with
t e KGB, and slipped to the Russians "mil-
itary secrets" supplied by the CIA.
S -me ,iilrline work for the FBI took him

The Fateful iii-:pion
Then came the fatefU mission to Vienna
in I&ccmbcr 1975. Mr. Shadrin took his wife
along Ito go skiing, he told her'. An initial
meeting with the two KGB agents on the
night of Dec. 18 went smoothly.
Mr. Shadrir?r came edgy-, however, per-
haps, because the Russians said he soon
would be promoted to t'oloncl in the KGB
and he knew the KGB commonly awards
such promotions to marked men as a way of
making them feel trusted. So after a CIA of-
ficer had debriefed him, next to a running
shower in Suite 361 of the Bristol Hotel in Vi-
enna, he told Mrs. Shadrin the names of
agents Koztov and Kurysher and asked her
to write them down. "Something apparently
was said or inferred which made him con-
cerned," she recalls. .
The acting CIA station chief in Vienna
had canceled all leaves :ind had planned to
keep ?.fr. Shadrin under protective surveil-
lance. "We could have put pen:le on the
street or in au:ns?" he stays. Rut the Rus-

F'ill's request out of concern that, if spotted
by the KGB. It might be a tip-off that Mr.
:;hadrin was a U.S. agent. And on the night
of Dec. 20, the night Mr. Shadrin disap-
peared. the CIA official went to dinner at a
friend's home In a Vienna suburb and didn't
return to the city until after I a.m.
By then, Mrs. Shadrin was frantically
phoning to report that her husband hadn't
come back from his meeting with the KGB.
She h sn't seen him since that night, and
she blames a bureaucratic snafu by U.S. in-
telligence agencies for his disappearance.
Some intelligence experts agree. "I don't
think they did right by Shadrin," says U.
Gen. Daniel O. Graham, who retired last
year as director of the Defense Depart-
ment's flcfense Intelligence Agency. "Quite
obviously the U.S. people who were sup-
po..ed to keep an eye out lost track of him.
They didn't keep him under direct surveil-
lance when they should have, or else I don't
think this could have happened " Mr Gra-
him says.
When news of Mr. Shadrin's presumed
kidnapping tilt Washington, the bureaucracy
scurried for cover. "There are too many
a agencies Involved, and they're all running,"
1Villiam Hyland of the NaUonal Security
Council told a visitor weeks afterward. Sec-
ret.ary of SL-ate Henry Kissinger broached
Us' disappearance with Soviet Ambassador
Anatoly tkhbrynin; Mr. Dobryhdn said his
government didn't know anything about the
case.
Dlssat!cfied, Mrs. Shadrin early last year
hired Richard Copaken, a 26-year-old part-
ner In the Washington law firm of Covington
& Burling. Within a month, Mr. Copaken
open d unofficial channels to Moscow
through Wolfgang Vogel, an attorney in East
Berlin who often acts as a secret conduit for
exchanging spies or political prisoners be-
twren East and West; among other deals,
he handleel the celebrated exchange of So-
viet spy Rudolf Abel for American t'2 pilot
Cary Francis Powers In the early 1960s.
To one, meeting In Fast Berlin Mr. Co-
paken came armed with a CIA-supplied list
of prisoners - being hold by U.S. friends
around the world. Mr. Vogel nibbled at two,
Jorge :Mantes, a Grmmunist leader held by
Chile, and Gunther Guillaume, whose arrest
in Born on spy charges precipitated the fall
of West German Chancellor Willy Brandt's
government in 1975.
Impact on Bonn
Mr. Copaken got word to the Ford adnrin-
Lstratior, about a possible exchange with the
Russians of Mr. Guillaume fur Mr. Shadrin.
But administration officials considered Mr.
Guillaume too hign a price to pay: they be-
lieved that even pressing Bonn to release
him could trigger serious political repercus-
sions in West Germany,
Last month the Carter adminIstratlon
bungled a possible Monies-Shadrin deal. Ir.-
stead of a high-level request from the White
HoxLse asking the C'h!lcan government to
make Mr. Monts available, the administra-
tion assigned the task to an acting assistant
secretary of state. (-'Idle said no. Rather
than oblige the U.S., It dealt Mr. pontes for
the release of 11 political prisoners in Com-
mtudst Fast Germany.
"So far the policy of this administration
is to incur no significant price to get Shad: in
released," Mr. Copaken contends. "The as-
cessrnent seems to be that tine chances of
getting him back are slim, so the White
House doesn't want to waste political china."
In the last few days. U.S. officials have
assured Mrs. Shadrin that they are intensi-
fying efforts to get her horsLand released.
But the many months of Inaction by high-
level officials have made her distrustful. "I
don't have any confidence in their efforts,"
she says.
No ilia to See ShadrLn
Indeed, the U.S. governni nt hasn't even
demanded that American officials be al-

amba-acador didn't get through, and higher

Hodding Carter, the State Department
spokesman, says "efforts will continue" to
retrieve Mr. Shadrin. "We are operating on
the assumption that he is stiff alive, but
frankly we don't know," he says.
Mr. Carter says that "official representa-

carried out at various levels and have con-

he declines to describe the U.S. efforts. "We
won't discuss our private communications

Louis replied that he would in principle. and we would
set a date In a later talk. A few days afterward. Louis
callvdi me from Helsinki, possibly to elude Soviet wire-
tappers. and asked if this was going to be "a wild goose
chase." I described the initiative as "important," and we
fixed a rendezvous, Helsinki cn Sept. 9.
Copaken recommended that we arrive in Helsinki a
day early in order to get a good night's sleep before the
next morning's conversations. As we took off, he ex-
1-acted from his briefcase a mathematical puzzle that.
he explained, was handmade by a wizard in Copen-
hagen. I persuaded him to qt it away and Instead fill
me in on the Shadrin case from the voluminous files he
carried.
A A T 10 THE NEXT morning, Louis was standing out-
side his hotel as Nye approached. "My room is proba-
bly bugged," he said, suggesting that a park might be
better, and he steered us to a landscaped area that ran
down the middle of a shopping street. We found an
empty bench and sat in the sunshine. I explained that I
had now finished my job, which was to bring them to-
Tether, but I would like to listen if they had no objec-
tions. They assented, and Copaken recounted the
Shadrin story, omitting the double agent part. He also
emphasized somewhat grossly that an election campaign
was coming in the United States and that the Incident, if
made public, could take on domestic political dimen-
5101LS.
Louis had kept silent through most of Copaken's brief-
ing, but now he had some comments and questions. In
the first place, he asserted, Copaken had been wasting
his time with the Vogel channel, as the Russians were
loath to meddle in Germany since former Chancellor
Willy Brandt had Improved relations with Moscow. Then
he went on to voice doubts about the entire Shadrin af-
fair. How do you know Shadrin was kidnaped? How do
you know he has not returnee- to the Soviet Union volun-
l Drily? Have you considered that he might have gone off
to Argentina to get away from his wife? Could he have
b,'cn picked up by the East Germans or Romanians?
"They do that sort of thing," Louis added rather disdain-
fully.
When Copaken implied, in answer to the first query,
that U.S. intelligence agents ktiew Shadrin was meeting
with two KGB operatives, I thought I heard Louis' brain
click. "It's inconceivable that the CIA would permit a
Soviet defector to meet two Russians in Vienna unless
something significant was Involved," he said. "Phis is
more than a simple affair of abduction."
I, IIE DISCUSSION dragged on through the day, as
we strolled across the park and lunched and dined,
and although I had felt sure at the start that Louis knew
nothing of the case beforehand, It was obvious that be
had quickly sized It up. When Copaken contemplated
various trading possibilities. Louis referred to the affair

Now, she is doing everything possible

Once United States officials were con-

During the State visit between host Jimmy Carter and guest Helmut
Schmidt in Washington, not only military and human rights questions
were discussed, but also trade of a special kind between East and West:
The exchange of spies. The background: In December 1975, Soviet
KGB agents had lured the American CIA employee of Russian descent
Nicholas Shadrin into a trap in Vienna and kidnapped him. Through
an East Berlin lawyer Moscow offered the Americans a trade:
You get Shadrin back if your allies, the West Germans, release Guenter
Guillaume. Chancellor Schmidt bluntly refused and informed (West German)
Government spokesman Boelling: "Guillaume stays where he is".
