" WASHINGTON (ITU About! 9 p.m. on April 2S, a Russian born U.S. employe in a security sensitive job returned to his apartment in suburban Washing ton. As he started 4o enter, he heard behind him a voice from the past. It was his brother whom he had last seen 23 years ago in Russia. Thus began a story of personal terror and stolid courage which led Monday to expulsion from this country of a Soviet secret po lice agent masquerading as a cul tural attache at the Soviet Em bassy. , The State Department demand ed the 'immediate departure" of attache Uennadiy u. aevastyi nov, 33, accusing him of attempt ing to recruit for espionage a U.S. employe ny threatening harm to his family In the Soviet Union. U.S. officials identified the fed eral employ only as "John." His agency was not disclosed, hut was understood to be part of the1 intelligence complex headed upi bv the Central Intelligence Agen- Brother Appart The voice behind him as he paused to enter his apartment was that of his brother, Volodya. who had been brought to the United States in a bizarre at tempt to persuade him to spy for Russia. Volodya suggested they talk in a car he had parked in the street, hut John preferred the apartment and they entered. Vo lodya was evasive in explaining his presence, saying it had been "arranged." Shortly, a man entered whom Volodya introduced as "Ivan lvanovleh," his driver. The driv er was in fact Sevastyanov, an agent of the Committee for State Security, or KGB, Russia's secret police, and a member of the So viet Embassy staff since March, 1959. John's visitors departed after arranging a further talk. When they had gone, he quickly report ed the encounter to the FBI, winch advised mm to continue the meetings. The next two meet- Electronic Vote Tabulator Due For Test At State Fair Iw k i, fr v&v- 'U ;J fe iff n I -1 41 ' J ';4.n SALEM (UPI) An electronic vole tabulating system that could revolutionize Oregon's election procedures will he given a test run at the State Fair here this summer, Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. said today. He said if the test is successful, it could lead to an overhaul of balloting methods within the next two or three years. The 1963 legislature, at Ap pling's request, approved a meas ure which authorizes such tests. Plans for the test were drafted Monday at a meeting with Dr. Joseph P. Harris, professor emer itus of political science at the University of California. Six Polling Booths Appling said the system, devel oped by Harris,' will be tested at six polling booths to be set up at the . fairgrounds. He said each booth would represent a different precinct, and he hoped to get from 10.000 to 20,000 ballots. The system utilizes a small de vice into which a data processing machine card is inserted. Voters, instead of marking an "XX" on a ballot, use a stylus to punch holes in the data card. The cards then are fed through a processing machine which tabu lates the results. The system was demonstrated to lawmakers during the recent legislative session. Appling describes the system as "the most significant development in the election field in more than 100 years." Fraud Safeguards He said the system would save money, be more accurate, speed counting, and provide safeguards against election fraud. If the Slate Fair tests are suc cessful, Appling hopes to make a one-county test of the method at a regular election within the next two years. He said it cost the -state $467,000 to manually count ballots in the 1960 primary and general elec tions. He estimates this cost could be cut in half. Appling estimated official re sults, from a statewide election would be available by midnight election night. , ings were secretly photographed 1 ered he was only a helpless tool by FBI agents. On May 4 Volodya left for the Soviet Union. He could have been apprehended on either espionage or illegal entry charges, but U.S. officials let him go. They consid- of the KGB, probably coerced himself by threats to his family. John, whose age and other de tails were kept secret to hide his identity, is about to receive U.S. citizenship.
