Jailed journalist
held in prison
for dissidents
MOSCOW (AP) — For two
hours each clay, Nicholas Daniloff
exercises on a caged rooftop
above the drab working-class
apartments surrounding Lefor
tovo Prison, which once held U-2
pilot Gary Powers and Soviet dis
sident author Alexander Solzhe
nitsyn.
The rest of his day is confined
either to the room where a KGB
colonel conducts painstaking in
terrogations or to the 8-by-10
foot cell where Daniloff passes
time with books about the Rus
sian revolutionaries exiled to Si
beria in 1825.
Four times in his 1 1 days at Le
fortovo, Daniloff has been shaved
and brought to an ornate recep
tion room. There, he has met
with his wife, son, a U.S. diplomat
and his boss under the supervi
sion of KGB Col. Valery Sergo-
deyev and a Soviet translator.
From her visits, Mrs. Daniloff
has been able to give reporters a
glimpse into her husband’s exis
tence in Lefortovo, where he was
charged by a military tribunal
with three counts of espionage.
The picture she painted was
one of unrelenting isolation and
psychological pressure from al
most daily interrogation.
The military prison, notorious
among Muscovites as the deten
tion place for foreigners accused
of spying and for Soviet dissi
dents, stands behind walls topped
with metal spikes. A prison was
first built in 1880 on the site
where Lefortovo and Energy
streets now intersect in eastern
Moscow.
Daniloff: Soviets
may release him
pending ‘spy’ trial
MOSCOW (AP) — Jailed Ameri
can reporter Nicholas Daniloff said
Wednesday Soviet investigators
liked the idea of releasing him to the
custody of the U.S. ambassador pen
ding his trial on spying charges, a
colleague said.
Soviet authorities made clear,
however, that the release would have
to be reciprocal, the colleague, Jeff
Trimble, quoted Daniloff as saying.
Authorities did not mention di
rectly the case of Gennadiy Zakha
rov, a Soviet United Nations em
ployee arrested last month in New
York and indicted Tuesday on three
counts of espionage, Trimble quoted
Daniloff as saying.
Daniloffs wife, Ruth, has alleged
Soviet authorities framed her hus
band in response to the Zakharov ar
rest.
KGB investigators told Daniloff
that a suggestion that he be freed
pending his trial “was a good idea,
(that) what was needed is a cooling-
off period,” Trimble quoted his col
league as saying.
Daniloff, the 5Tyear-old Moscow
bureau chief of U.S. News & World
Report, was arrested Aug. 30 and in
dicted Sunday. If convicted, he
could face the death penalty. He has
denied the allegations.
He made his comments in a
phone call from Lefortovo Prison to
nis wife, who was at the office of U.S.
News & World Report.
Investigators of the KGB secret
police were with Daniloff when he
placed the call. Trimble, with the
consent of the Daniloffs, listened to
the conversation at the office of the
Mourners pray for 21 massacre victims
■ ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) — In
the temple still stained with the
blood of the dead, more than 1,000
If mourners said final prayers
Wednesday for the 21 victims of a
terrorist massacre at Istanbul’s larg
est synagogue.
H Women, their heads covered in
black shawls, wailed as rabbis read
Jewish prayers, including one asking
revenge for the death of innocent
people and another normally said
during war.
■ "Those worshipers who lost their
lives had not even the time to realize
and understand why they were cho
sen as targets for such a brutal
slaughter,” said Jak Veissid, legal ad
viser to Istanbul’s chief rabbi.
With helmeted riot police stand
ing in front of the lectern, Israel’s
chief Sephardic rabbi, Mordechai
Eliyahu, solemnly read out the
names of the 21 men gunned down
by terrorists during prayers Satur
day.
Signs of the carnage remained:
blood and small pieces of flesh on
walls and ceilings, blown-out win
dows in the synagogue dome, streaks
of black soot next to the double
doors of the cabinet that holds the
to rah, or sacred scrolls.
Outside, police linked arms to
barricade the streets around the 50-
year-old synagogue, the largest of 13
in Istanbul. About 5,000 people
gathered to watch as 19 plain,
wooden coffins were loaded onto
green funeral trucks for the 6-mile
procession to the Jewish cemetery.
Two of the dead were buried in
Israel Tuesday.
A monument to the dead is to be
built in the center.
Police said Wednesday they had
made no progress in their investiga
tion to identify the attackers, to track
down possible accomplices and to
verify multiple claims of responsibil
ity.

Daniloff also said the best way to
defuse U.S.-Soviet tensions over his
arrest would be to release both him
and Zakharov pending their trials,
Trimble said.
Mrs. Daniloff, who visited her
husband Tuesday, said he didn’t
want his case to thwart attempts to
improve ties between Moscow and
Washington or become an impedi
ment to holding a superpower sum
mit later this year.
President Reagan wrote to Soviet
leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev earlier
this week and warned that relations
between the two countries are se
riously threatened by Daniloffs de
tention.
Under a deal which would have
Daniloff and Zakharov released pen
ding their respective trials, the diplo
matic missions would serve as guar
antors that the defendants show up
for trial.
Mrs. Daniloff said she did not
think her husband had changed his
stand against trading him outright
for Zakharov.
There was no indication Wednes
day whether the Reagan administra
tion would agree to a temporary re
lease of Daniloff and Zakharov.
U.S. officials have ruled out a deal
to free Daniloff in exchange for Zak
harov. They have said Daniloff is in
nocent and the two cases cannot be
compared.
White House sources, on condi
tion of anonymity, said the United
States may begin expelling Soviets
assigned to the United Nations a few
at a time until Daniloff is freed.
