Torture Exposer
Admits' Spying
London, March 8 (U.R)Mik-
hail Shipkov, 39, the Bulgarian
who wrote the recent startling
expose of Iron Curtain torture
methods, has pleaded guilty with
four Bulgarian co-defendants to
espionags for the United States
and Britain, dispatches from
Sofia said today.
Shipkov's expose, an 8,000
word document, was released to
the public by the U.S. state de
partment four days ago.
It detailed how Iron Curtain
police wrung confesions from
innocent men by beatings, star
vation, lengthy questioning and
other'third degree methods.
Shipkov, a former translator
in the closed American legation
in Sofia, said in the document
that Bulgarian security agents
made innocent persons stand at
an angle against the wall, bal
ancing themselves with the aid
of the tips of two fingers, until
their bodies rebelled and their
wills to resist were broken.
Then, Shipkov, the communist
governments could make them
say anything they pleased.
Reports of Shipkov's trial; as
carried by the official Russian
news agency Tass and the offi
cial Bulgarian news agency, said
Shipkov had told the court he
had given "false and calumnious
information" about government
agents toward himself."
He also was quoted that po
lice treated him "very good."
What was the conduct of our
government after your arrest?'
the prosecutor asked Shipkov.
Very good."
'Were there any tortures?'
the prosecutor asked.
"No. A very humane attl
tude."
The arrest referred to was the
second for Shipkov and was
made last February.
Shipkov originally was ar
rested, questioned, tortured and
released last August. He based
his expose on his experiences
at that time.

The Sofia dispatches quoted
Shipkov that he carried on his
espionage in behalf of the Unit
ed States at the personal di
rection of Donald R. Heath, U.S,
minister in Sofia until the U.S,
and Bulgaria severed diplomatic
relations Feb. 21.
They said he admitted acting
as a spy for six years.

Tag lost Boys'
For Robbery
Portland, Ore., March 8 (U.Rf-
Police said today the story of
three small boys who "said they
became lost in the woods on
weekend camping trip actually
was told to cover a neighbor
hood burglary.
Officers said the trio had con
fessed they obtained $170 from
a neighbor's home and then fled
into the woods to avoid being
arrested. Police said they ad

aged 11 and 12, watched the
house until they saw police ar
rive to investigate the burglary.
They notified their 12-year-old
companion, officers said, and
then decided to run away.
They said they purchased air
rifles, pup tents and canned
food for grubstake and stayed
in the Linnton hills Saturday
night and Sunday. They were
spotted Monday morning by an
uncle of one boy while out

get information for the FBI;
When he broke with the party
recently, he tried to get a job.
"Nobody would hire me," he
said. "They didn't believe my
story."
Cvetic recently exposed com
munist activity in the rich in
dustrial centers of western Penn
sylvania and gave the names of
148 party members to tne house
committee on un-American activities.
Now he is helping govern
ment agents classify 80 pounds
of communist records he man
aged to get away with when
he left the party. He estimated
the documents will reveal the
names of at least 200 additional
communists in the Pittsburgh
area.
Looking back on seven years
of close association with the
Reds, Cvetic said it amazes
him that he never once was
suspected of being an FBI in
formant.
For five years I lived at the
William Penn hotel in Pittsburgh
under the name of 'Bob Stan
ton,' scarcely two blocks away
from communist headquarters,"
he chuckled
"Hotel employes thought I was
novelist and used to ask me
how my book was coming
along."
His salary (a modest one) was
delivered to him in cash by an
FBI agent each week
Cvetic's blue eyes clouded as
he recounted the sacrifices he
made to "play my role without
detection.
""My friends deserted me.
I was forced to give up my
church. My father refused to
let me come into his home. My
mother died last October still
thinking I was a communist.
"I once asked my twin sons
what they wanted to be when
they grew up and they told me
they wanted to be a bum like
me."
