Arrested
FBI Pounces on 3
After 1.3-Year
Inquiry
NEW YORK (UP)-Two men
and a woman were arrested here
today on spy charges rising from
a top secret FBI investigation of
"Soviet intelligence activities."
The FBI said they are principals
in a Russian spy ring that dates
back to World War II and hinted
that Soviet government officials
may be implicated in the case.
They said a federal Grand Jury
will begin hearing FBI charges
against the three and "others who
might be involved in the espion
age conspiracy, including Soviet
officials."
Those arrested were identified
as Jack Soble, 53, his wife, Myra,
52. and Jacob Albam, 64. The
Sobles came to the United States
by way of Japan a few months
before Pearl Harbor. They are na
turalized American Citizens.
Denied Passport
Soble has recently been denied
a passport but was "making plans
to leave the country" at the time
of his arrest, the FBI said.
Albam, a native of the same
Lithuanian village in which Soble
was born, came to the United
States in 1947. He is married to
an American citizen and has ap
plied for naturalization, the FBI
said. It has sot been granted.
The FBI said Soble was at one
time a boss of other Russian spies
in the United States. The com
plaint against him charges in part
that he "sent letters to other
agents of the Soviet Union" last
Aug. 15.
The activities of the three were
said to have been uncovered in a
continuing investigation into the
activities of Vassili Zubilin, a third
secretary of the Russian embassy
who returned to Russia in 1944.
Zubilin was said to have been a
former general of the Russian Se
cret Police and in overall charge
of Soviet intelligence in the United
States during World War II.
Arrests Made Quietly
It was his successors in that
embassy post, the FBI said, who
had dealings with the spy ring
detailed by former Communist
Elizabeth Bentley and with the
atom spy ring in which executed
apires Ethel and Julius Rosenberg
operated.
Albam and Soble and his wife
were taken into custody quietly in
their apartments here early today.
A witness said agents carried "a
bagful of books" from Albam's
apartment.
The FBI said its 13-year Inves
tigation "has been carefully con
cealed and had for its major ob
jective the penetration of Soviet
intelligence activities.

Israel Terms

DagTellsUN
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. Wl -
Secretary General Dag Hammar
skjold declared Friday that ser
ious legal barriers stand in the
way of accepting Israel's terms
for pulling her troops out of the
Gaza Strip.
The secretary general's view
was contained in a special report
to the 80-nation General Assem
bly announcing that Israel "has
not fully complied" with that
body's demands for complete with
drawal of her forces from Egypt
by Thursday night.
He also transmitted to the As
sembly a memorandum in which
Israel stated her troops still were
in the Gaza Strip and the Sharm
el Sheikh area at the entrance to
the Gulf of Aqaba, and would re
main there until her interests
were safeguarded.
Hammarskjold expressed t h e
view that the U. N. Emergency
Force would be able to move into
these areas, if Israel withdrew,
but that they could not carry out
the functions which Israel had de
manded. Hammarskjold said Israel's
proposal for the establishment of
an Israeli civil administration in
the Gaza Strip, under U.N. direc
tion, could he carried out out
only with the consent of Egypt.

To 'Revive Old

'White Paper' Asked by
Demos Would Hurt
Relations, View
WASHINGTON Wl Secretary
of State Dulles, replying to Dem
ocratic demands for a "white pa
per on his Middle hast policies,
said Friday such a project
"would irreparably damage" re
lations with Btain and France
and "reopen all the old wounds."
Dulles in effect rejected the re
quests at a Senate hearing marked
by a blast from Sen. Aiken (R
Vt at the critics of- the Cabinet
officer.
Aiken told Dulles that demo
cratic attacks might be construed
as "a concerted effort to destroy
you, politically and personally."
Some of the questioning of the
secretary, Aiken asserted, had
"gone far beyond the point of con
structive criticism."
Aiken said too that he could
only assume that there was a con
certed effort to "harass and em
barrass" Dulles and to delay ac
tion on President Eisenho'ver s re
quest for advance congressional
backing to use U.S. military
forces in the Middle East in the
event of Communist aggression
there.
For the fourth day, Dulles was
before a joint session of the Sen-

In on 289th
Ballot
By JAMES D. OLSON
Capital Journal Writer
Unanimous election of freshman
Senator Boyd R. Overhulse. 47 as
president of the Oregon senate on
the 289th ballot late Thursday af-j
tor noon broke the long deadlock I
between, the 15 Democrats and 15
Republicans.
The dramatic end of the stale
mate came as a complete surprise
as Overhulse's name had not been
mentioned on the floor. The youth
ful new president served in three
sessions of the house, although in
the 1953 session he suffereJ rn at
tack of rheumatic fever and was
forced to go home but recovered
and was back in 1955 to serve
again.
Vote Unexpected
The unexpected vole came just
an hour after Senator Jean Lewis,
of Portland ;n a short speech
which she said had been prepared
the nicht before, called on mem
bers ot boih parties to entT into
serious caucuses "and cat! upon
Almighty God to guide you in find
ing a means of ending this dead
lock." v
Then she taid sbc' had no d.ilre
to be pTS'rnt of The senate (she
had ben proposed as a compro

at the suggestion of Governor

they had done innumerable limes

zled out.
Senjtor Howprd Bellon. who lind

throughout the log hassle, once
again called for a vote for the
president of the senate. Jt was
the 289th such ballot.

original Republican candidate and
had withdrawn earlier.
Adnlph tnen called the name of

This was the first in'ination
that the Democrats had switched
