' Peterson, 40, was arrested a
month ago at his Arlington, Va.,
apartment' on charges , that he
obtained defense secrets with "in
tent or reason to believe" that they
would be used to the injury of
this country and to aid another.
Until Tuesday the nature of' the
charges against him have been al
most as, secret as the work of the
NSA. 1 a hush-hush government
agency with principal duties of
monitoring world wide radio com
munications and dealing in secret
codes. ' " . j
Dutch-Invehred
The government at first declined
to name the foreign nation
involved, but later confirmed, after
the Dutch themselves had said so.
that it was the Netherlands.' Dutch
officials said Petersen had ex
changed information with an of
ficial of their Washington embassy;
They said they thought! .the ex
change was authorized.
The secrecy lid was lifted only

Among the charges contained in
the bill is that Petersen kept in his
apartment classified documents
and notes relating to a Chinese
telegraphic code and an analysis
of cryptographs, or coding and de
coding machines, used by the
Army's Signal Intelligence Serv
ice. i j' . . - j;
In General Use . I
The Chinese Embassy! told news
men the Chinese code Involved is
in general use among oriental mer
chants and involved a reduction of
Chinese characters to numbers, for
easier radio transmission.
The Department declined to ex
plain the significance of the docu
ment on North Korean political
security traffic. The bill of particu
lars said the classified document,
dated Feb. 20, 1951, was taken by
Petersen some tune in 1952. The
Korean War was then in progress.
Among other things, the court
paper filed Tuesday said that some
time during - March or April,
1948, Petersen "copied and made
notes from classified documents in
dicating United States success in
breaking codes utilized by the Neth
erlands government."
