MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, AUGUST Britain Orders Deportation 01 Dr. Robert Soblen Delay Foreseen In Execution Of Order London -ll'Pn- The British government Saturday night ordered fugitive Soviet spy Dr. Robert A. Soblen deport ed but said the order could not be enforced for at least "a few days." The British home office did not explain the delay. But its action lent support to state ments by Soblen's attorneys that the government would not enforce the deportation order until its validity can be tested in court. Soblen's chief British attor ney, Solomon Kaufman, an nounced he would challenge the deportation order shortly after it was issued. He said the Soblen legal team already has made preliminary moves to bring the appeal before a judge. Wartime Espionage Kaufman said the 61-year-old psychiatrist, who faces a life sentence in the United States for wartime espionage, has asked the home office to investigate this "alleged of fense," indicating that Soblen may attempt to have his en tire case reviewed in the Brit ish courts a time-consuming process. The government issued the deportation order after Israel balked at flying Soblen back to the United States on one of its El Al airliners. Kaufman said Soblen still insists he is innocent of spy charges. The government's order at least ended one phase of the Soblen case the diplomatic tug-of-war staged between Britain and Israel over the convicted spy that has strain ed relations between the two countries. Britain had insisted that the Israeli Airlines, El Al, con tinue Soblen on his flight to the U. S. The airline, with the backing of the Israeli cab inet, has been just as insistent that somebody else do the job.
