he was paid $200,000
as spy for United States
VIENNA (UPI) -A Bulgarian
diplomat pleaded guilty today to
charges that he was an Ameri
can spy who collected $200,000
from the United States to pay
for his affairs with "loose wom
en." The Bulgarian Telegraph
Agency reported that Ivan-Assen
Hristov Georgiev, 56, entered
the guilty plea before the Bul
garian Supreme Court.
"I have committed the heav
iest of crimes that can be com
mitted by man, a crime which
has always received the heaviest
punishment at all times," the
agency said Georgiev told the
court.
Shortly after testifying Geor
giev became ill, and the after
noon court session was ad
journed. Western experts said Bulgari
an law prescribes a maximum
penalty of death by shooting for
treason.
The former counselor at the
Bulgarian mission to the United
Nations in New York was
charged with spying for the
U.S. Central Intelligence Agen
cy (CIA) for seven years and
collecting about $200,000 for his
work, which the Bulgarians
said he spent on "loose wom
en" and various mistresses.
"I placed myself voluntarily
in the service of U.S. intelli
gence," Georgiev was reported
to have told the court.

Romans fake
Pope Paul to
their hearfs
VATICAN CITY (UPI)-The
people of Rome took Pope Paul
VI to their hearts today because
he walked through mud to visit
an invalid women on Christmas
Day and smiled when a ram
bunctious Iamb was thrust into
his arms as a present.
The Pope, once thought of as
a cold intellectual, won the af
fection of his Roman parishion
ers Wednesday in a morning
visit to Pietralata, a bleak
working - class suburb of con
crete buildings.
The pontiff chose an area of
the city where the Communist
Vote is heavy.
He was received there with
wild enthusiasm wlisn he ar
rived to say Mass at the simple
parish church.
A little girl thrust a lively,
kicking lamb into the Pope's
arms. He smiled, gripped it
firmly and held it up for the
cheering crowd to see.
After the Mass, the Pontiff's
limousine made an unscheduled
stop at an apartment house
near the church.
Pope Paul, dressed in white
robes, left the car and walked
through a muddy courtyard to
pray beside 65-year-old Emilio
Proietti, bedridden for 15 years
with paralysis.
On his way back to the Vati
can, Pope Paul called at the
Don Gnocchi school for disabled
children.
"Can we go to the Holy Land
with you?" asked a four-year-
old boy with no right hand.
The Pope, who will visit sa
cred Christian shrines in Jor
dan and Israel Jan. 4-6, replied:
"Let's make a pact. You pray
for me and 1 11 come back and
see you again."
Wrong dachshund
sent to Africa
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sam,
the dachshund who ended up in
Africa because he was mista
ken for a dachshund named
Eric, is expected to return to
his home here fnaay.
Maxwell C. Moulton, Sam's
owner, said the dog would be
flown from Dakar to New York
and then to Washington. Sam
was taken to Africa last week
by James Loeb Jr., U.S. am
bassador to Guinea, who was
given the animal at a pet hos
pital when he went to pick up
Eric.
Eric was so newly acquired
that Loeb didn't notice the mis
take. But Moulton did when he
went to get Sam and, with, the
aid of the State Department, he
got assurances that his dog
would be returned.

ties which included giving the
CIA political, economic and mil
itary secrets.
Georgiev, identified as the
president of the International
Institute of Space Law, worked
secretly for the U.S. from his
New York post for five years
and in Europe until his arrest
about three months ago, the
agency said.
It said Georgiev used the
code name of "Georges Du-
valle for his espionage activi
ties." After testifying this morning,
Georgiev became ill and the
court granted a defense request
for adjournment of the after
noon session, the agency said.
It said only that Georgiev had
suffered an "indisposition."
Agency Mentions Letter
The agency said Georgiev at
one point wrote a letter direct
ly to former CIA Chief Allen
Dulles complaining about the
attitude CIA agents were taking
toward him and the refusal of
his request for $60,000 to found
an international institute of
philosophy.
Georgiev was quoted as say
ing U.S. intelligence wanted to
bring him down to "the position
of an ordinary police infor
mant." The agency said CIA
agents "asked him not only for
political information but also
for ordinary police information
relative to Bulgarians who had
fled abroad. . ."
The agency called him "po
litically and morally rotten to
the marrow of his bones" and
said he was "a most malicious
enemy and traitor to the Bul
garian people."
"vor many years Asscn
Georgiev has been indulging in
an immoral sort of life," It
said. "He had criminal and Im
moral connections with many
loose women and supported sev
eral mistresses both in Bulgaria
and abroad.
According to the agency, he
fed the United States "impcr
tant" Bulgarian political, eco
nomic and military secrets. It
said he met secretly with CIA
agents and sent clandestine
messages out of Bulgaria to a
radio center in Greece operated
by U.S. intelligence.

Attorney denies
Belli criticism
DALLAS (UPI)-A defense
attorney said today chief de
fense counsel Melvin Belli of
San Francisco found District
Attorney Henry Wade and his
staff "good, hard-fighting law
yers" during Jack Ruby's bail
bond hearing Monday.
Dallas attorney Tom Howard,
who was among the first to
come to the defense of the kill
er of Lee Harvey Oswald, said
he had no criticism of Belli. He
described the famed California

yer." The Dallas Morning News

hearing was "quite a shock" to
Belli. The hearing ended with a

big-city lawyer from out-of-state
found out that Texas district at

a courtroom."
Howard denied the statements
in the interview.
He said he did not criticize
Belli "in any way."
"We are in complete agree
ment on the way the case is
being handled," Howard said.

"Mr. Belli said the district at
torney and his staff were good,
hard-fighttng lawyers.

Russian family spends quiet
Christmas at McKenzie home
PORTSMOUTH, Ohio (UPD-
A Russian family visiting here
for the Christmas holiday re
sumed a round of tours of this
Ohio River city today before
getting ready for the long trip
back to Moscow.
Viktor Pozdneev, a Moscow
engineer, his wife, Nana, and
two children, spent Christmas
Day quietly wilh their hosts,
the James McKenzie family,
exchanging guts around the
Christmas tree.
Gifts were piled up high
around the tree, and the Pozd
neev family was almost cer
tain to go back to Moscow with
much heavier luggage than
when they arrived as guests of
the Portsmouth Junior Chamber
of Commerce in an unprec
edented ' Operation Peace on
Earth."
Although their observance of
Christmas normally is Jan. 7,
the Pozdneevs enjoyed their
American version of the holi
day. Mrs. Pozdneev, who Is an
English teacher in, a Moscow
school, said even the tree was
a familiar sight back home.
She said the McKenzie Christ
mas tree with its decorations,
many of them brought from
Russia, looked "very much like
a Russian tree."
As usual, the children of both
families awoke first on Christ
mas morning. But they waited
for their parents to get up be
fore opening packages.
Mr. and Mrs. Pozdneev re
ceived moslly clothes from
their American hosts, while
their daugtiler, Olga, 6, was
given the fifth doll she has re
ceived since arriving here a
week ago, and Anatoli, 17, got
a pair of gloves.
McKenzie was presented with
an album of 12 records of con
temporary Russian music, and
his wife, Carol, wag given a
bottle of perfume. Phillip Mc
Kenzie, 14, received a library of
novels for Russian youths and
the other four McKenzie chil
dren received Russian choco
lates. Following today's tour, the
Russian family was to begin
packing for the trip back to
Moscow. They were scheduled
to go to Cincinnati Friday and

The sponsoring Jaycees said
so far the project of bringing
an average Russian family here
for the holiday was "very suc
cessful." There have been no
demonstrations or pickets and ;
persons against the project ap
parently just ignore the pres
ence of the Russian family
here.
As Mrs. Pozdneev put it, "We
expected to be greeted cordial
ly, but nothing like this. We
were told in Moscow that
American people were friendly,
but now we know. You are a
friendly people and want to live
in peace."
