f , . Mt.uroHP MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON MONDAY, JULY 9. 1962 g Escaping United States Law Authorities Difficult, Soblen Learns By DONALD MAY Washington - il'PU - The ex pulsion of convicted Soviet spy Dr. Robert Soblen from Israel demonstrated that it is not as easy to escape U.S. law authorities as it might appear. Soblen had several things Roing for him that most would - be fugitives do not have. First, he was not under sur vcilance when he fled last week following the Supreme Court s rejection of his last sppeal from a life sentence. The FBI and Justice Depart ment were convinced he would not flee because he was 62 years old and suffer ing from leukemia. Then too, his family and others had posted his S100.000 bond in cash and securities. The clement of surprise was fo much on Soblen's side that Justice Department and FBI spokesmen say no one will be disciplined because of his escape because no one was as signed to prevent it. Second, Soblen was con victed of espionage which is considered a "political" of fense. Traditionally, extradition treaties cover only criminal offenses. Even if there had been a treaty with Israel, it would not have covered Sob len's case. And extradition treaties Stale Police Seek Driver in Crash Slate police today are look ing for a driver who failed to leave his name and address af ter an accident on Table Rock rd. Sunday night near the overpass and Airport rd. Officers, said the driver left the scene of the accident on foot after the unidentified driver's car rammed the rear of one driven by Donald Ray mond Cranston, 23, of 3506 New Ray rd. Cranston told officers he was driving south on Table Rock rd. when a vehicle ap proached him fiom behind at a high rate of speed. He speed ed up, but was unable to out distance the other car which struck him. After the collision the un identified driver apparently lost control of his car, it skid ded across the road and strad dled a fence at 3622 Table Rock rd. The Cranston car did not leave the road. The car operated by the un identified driver was register ed to Ira H. and Nancy A. Im hauscn, 319 Haven St., Mcd ford, state police said. cover only crimes which are illegal in both countries. Second, Soblen apparently knew in advance that Israel did not have an extradition treaty with the United States. This was a big advantage. Almost every week, t h e State Department legal advi sor's office gets a telephone call from a hopeful voice seek ing information. "I'm planning a short trip abroad," the caller says, "and I wonder if you could recom mend a nearby country with a good climate that does not have an extradition treaty with the United States." Some of the callers try to disguise themselves as "school teacher." for exam ple, inquiring for a list of countries without extradition treaties to give her civics class. Some are from lawyers in behalf of clients. Others are completely can did like one caller recent ly referred to the State De partment through a congress man. "Could you please hurry that information," the man said. "I think 1 may have to leave very soon." No matter who the caller, the State Department never answers the question not even for this reporter. "The United States has ex tradition treaties with 65' to 70 countries," an official said. "That leaves some 30 A number of nations have It merely charged that the where there is no treaty.

The fugitive was not hand cuffed, therefore, and man aged to slab himself, thereby forcing his confinement in a London hospital. A largo percentage of the cases are much simpler than Soblen's, however, merely be cause the fugitive does not know which countries are "safe." The information is a mat ter of public record, how ever. II is contained in a standard legal volume found in almost every lawyer's of fice, any good public library and in many prison libraries. "But you'd be surprised," the Stati Department man said, "How many people. In cluding lawyers, don't know where to look. Also, finding it and looking up all the cross references may lake lime which may be a critical de lay." Reporter Finds Volume This reporter located the volume Willi little difficulty and found that most of the no - extradition countries are small, not and underdevel oped. Brazil is the only one in the Western Hemisphere. Sweden is the only one in Western Europe. The rest are mainly new African stales, a large part of the Arab Middle East, an I occasional tension spot such as Laos, plus the Soviet Un- I ion. East Germany and Red China. The United Slates has ex- tradition treaties with Com I munist Bulgaria, Czechoslo i vakia, Hungary, Poland and Rumania. But they seldom have been honored. Brazil long has been a fa- vorite haven for Americans i in difficulty with the law. 1 It recently has become I he home ol fugitive financier ! Edward Gilbert, indicted last i month on charges involving j nearly $2 million in funds I used in a complex slock buy ! ing effort.

A U.S. extradition treaty wilh Brazil lapsed in III12 I dining a revision of local Bra I z i 1 I a n laws. Apparently ' through lethargy, sporadic nc ; gotiations failed to produce j a new one. I New Treaty Signed Finally, in January, 1!)61, a new treaty with Brazil was negotiated and signed. It has been ratified by the U.S. Sen ate but not yet by Brazil. I When It takes effect, the j fate of Rio de Janeiro's fugi I tive colony probably will be I up lo the courts. U.S. offi cials plan to argue that it applies retroactively. But de fense lawyers will no doubt contest this. Because the Brazilian con stitution forbids the death penalty, the United States agreed that returned fugitives will not face capital punishment. The United Slates negoti ated an extradition treaty with Sweden last October and it is due to go to the U.S. Senate soon for ratification. A treaty also has been tenta tively drafted with Israel. But it still is in the process of having the English and Hebrew texts coordinated.
