Newspaper Page TextRussia's Policy of Peace Averted War Over Cuba, Khrushchev Says Russia Arrests Alleged Espionage Agent; Accused of Giving Secrets To U.S., Britain Moscow - IUPD - The biggest Western spy cae since the I960 trial of U2 pilot rrancis Powers appeared In the ma lng today with the arrest of an alleged agent on charges of supplying Soviet secrets to the U.S. and Briusn intel ligence. Tass, the official Soviet news agency, Tuesday night announced the arrest of "the spy O. V. Penkovsky" and linked him to two U.S. Em bassy employees and British businessman Grcvllle Wynne, who was arrested on espion age charges in Budapest last month. It charged that Penkovsky delivered military and sci entific secrets to Wynne, em bassy employee Richard Carl Jacob, and an American sec ond secretary identified only as "Karlsson." Jacob, 28, Egg Harbor, N.J., was expelled Nov. 6 for al legedly "extracting espionage materials" from a letterbox In a Moscow apartment. There is no Karlsson at the Embassy, only a Rodney W. Carlson, assistant agricultur al attache, and the Soviets have taken no action against him. Tass charged that Penkov sky used the letterbox in the gateway of a house on Mos cow's Pushkinskaya st. to pass on secret information to Jacob. At the time of Ja cob's expulsion last month, the United States denied all charges of espionage. Tass did not identify Pen kovsky as a Soviet citizen, but it was assumed he was. It said he worked in the "So viet state committee on co ordination of scientific re search work."

Rogue Valley Edition MEDFORDt Page 2A Tribune It said he was "connected with British and American intelligence agencies and on their orders in 1961-62 gath ered and handed them secret information about the U.S.S.R. on scientific, techni cal, political, and military questions." Tass said Penkovsky admit ted contacting Wynne, who it said 'periodically came to the U.S.S.R. under the disguise of a businessman." Wynn was arrested Nov. 2. On Nov. 27, Soviet authorities announced he had pleaded guilty to espionage. His present where abouts was not known. Tass said Penkovsky was equipped with three minia ture cameras, codes, secret inks, radio equipment, and "a false Soviet passport to go underground in case of immi nent exposure." In addition to the men named, it said he maintained contact with "some other officials of the diplomatic representations of the United States and Bri tain."

He accused the Chinese of trying to prod the Soviets into conflict with the United States. Khrushchev said that Soviet officers had manned the So viet missiles in Cuba "which were ready for launching" but not used, sparing the world from a nuclear holocaust. Then, in the most direct and high-level attack yet on Chinese policy, which holds that communism can triumph over capitalism, only by in evitable war, he said the world has no choice but to survive through coexistence. Trying To Provoke Clash In rejecting Chinese charges that he had bowed to imperialism in the Cuban crisis, he said that "these peo ple who call themselves Marxist-Leninists" apparently were trying to provoke a clash between the Soviet Union and the United States. But Khrushchev was hav ing none of this line, pointing out that the United States also had the capability of thermo nuclear destruction. The Soviet premier said Moscow will honor the agree ments on Cuba so long as the United States does. But if American pledges are not ful filled, he said "we shall be compelled to take such actions as may be required by the situation." Talks to Resume Even as he spoke In Mos cow, it was disclosed at Unit ed Nations headquarters that U.S. and Soviet negotiators will resume talks on the Cu ban crisis at the Soviet Em bassy in New York this after noon. Khrushchev said "favorable prerequisites" have been cre- i ated to end the Cuban crisis and that what is needed now j is to "bring the negotiations to a conclusion. In a broadcast and televised I address he made to the Su I preme Soviet, Khrushchev 1 said that those who say the , Cuban compromise was forced on the Soviet Union also should say the United States also was forced to settle by peaceful means. Had Russia taken an "un compromising position," he said, it would have helped i "only the camp of madmen in the United States" to touch off world war. ! The United States could j not win such a war, he added. Has Nuclear Teeth I Again with an eye on Pe j king without specifically men ; Honing the Communist Chi nese, Khrushchev said: "Imperialism is no longer what it was ... It may be a paper tiger, but people who call it that should know the paper tiger has nuclear teelh." He said the missiles were supplied as a result of a "well founded alarm" from the Cu ban government that "an at tack was only hours away" on Oct. 23. "We sent our arms there and placed our rockets just to avert aggression and that's why we pulled them out," he said. "That's it in a nutshell." Khrushchev ridiculed sug Kcstions that the Soviet Un ion had chosen Cuba as the jump-off point for war against the United Stales. He labeled the charges a "malicious fab rication." Would Have Used Missiles "Had we wanted to start war against the United States we would not have agreed to dismantle the rockets Install ed in Cuba which were i ready for launching for ac tion," he said. "We would have brought them into play. "We did not do that be cause we had no such aims." Russia pulled out its mis siles and nuclear-capable Jet bombers at a demand from President Kennedy, who warned that the United Slates was ready to use whatever force was necessary to en force Its decision. Khrushchev warned that the Cuban crisis is not yet over and "it is not in the in terests of peace to tarry" in ending it. He said Russia's coexistence policy headed off a thoromi clear holocaust when the crisis was at its height, mid said "all sensible people pro foundly welcome this triumph of reason." At this point in history, he said, mankind faces "either peaceful coexistence or de vastating war and there is only one alternative: Peace ful KOCxUt&ncs."
