Daniloff’s arrest stirs questions
Discc
iNEW YO
with a revo
Critics contend Gorbachev may be losing touch with KQ fair,
a tumultuoi
MOSCOW (AP) — The arrest of
American reporter Nicholas Dani-
loff raises questions about Mikhail S.
Gorbachev’s relationship with the
KGB and about how tne Kremlin
leadership balances the demands of
its internal security forces with its
foreign policy goals.
KGB agents grabbed Daniloff
nearly two weeks ago after a Soviet
acquaintance allegedly handed him
a packet of secret documents.
Since then, there has been specu
lation but no conclusive evidence
about who authorized the arrest and
what it says about the Kremlin’s ef
fort to present a more open and
modern face to the outside world.
The Soviets claim they can prove
Daniloff was spying, but the U.S.
News 8c World Report correspon
dent says the KGB framed him in re
taliation for the arrest of a Soviet cit
izen in New York.
In either case, Daniloffs indict
ment on three counts of espionage
seemed to be a blow to a Kremlin
public relations campaign that
sought to portray the Soviet Union
as the peace-loving and compro
mise-seeking partner in superpower
relations.
U.S. outrage over the arrest raised
speculation it might hinder prepara
tions for the next U.S.-Soviet sum
mit.
These are the main questions: Did
Gorbachev, who is on vacation out
side Moscow, know about the arrest
in advance? Did he know but was
powerless to stop it? Or did Gorba
chev personally approve the arrest?
One school of thought is that Gor
bachev would not have condoned
the arrest since it runs counter to his
efforts to improve the image of the
Soviet Union and his campaign to
end nuclear testing.
That theory said Daniloff was ar
rested without Gorbachev’s knowl
edge in a reflex action by the KGB
after Soviet U.N. employee Genna
diy Zakharov was arrested in New
York on spying charges.
If that is true, it suggests the Com
munist Party general secretary does
not have full control of the secret po
lice.
The KGB is a powerful political
force and at times has acted with vir
tual autonomy. Many Western ex
perts believe no one can become
party chief without KGB backing.
But many Western Kremlinoiog-
ists believe Gorbachev has enjoyed
good relations with the KGB and
that its chief, Viktor Chebrikov, is
one of his backers. Gorbachev’s re
puted mentor, the late President
Yuri V. Andropov, was head of the
KGB for 15 years.
If Gorbachev knew about the
planned arrest but didn’t approve of
it, the notion of a power imbalance
between the KGB and the party

I c
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senators
and cancer specialists pleaded
Thursday for the lives of six cancer-
stricken “refuseniks,” pressing So
viet officials to let the victims rejoin
their families and seek medical treat
ment in the West.
“The request is very simple: Give
them a chance to live,” said Sen.
Frank Lautenberg, D-NJ., who has
written two letters asking Soviet
leader Mikhail Gorbachev to let the
patients leave.
Dr. Bruce Chadner, head of the
National Cancer Institute, said,
“The tragedy of their illness should
not be compounded by political con
siderations. They should be allowed
to leave while there is still time.”
The six patients, including a 7-
year-old with leukemia, have rela
tives in California, Massachusetts,
Colorado, New York, Canada and
Israel.
All have been denied visas to leave
the Soviet Union, some of them re
peatedly, with authorities citing se
curity reasons.
The victims’ plights were de
scribed at a crowded press confer
ence attended by some family mem
bers and interrupted by an
emotional telephone call from seve
ral of those trying to leave.
Tatyana Kheifets Bogomolny, a
translator who has breast cancer,
said over the phone from Moscow,
“We’re very happy and very grateful
. . . that you have found the time to
be with us and that you are trying to
do something for our rescue. The
best cure for us will be to be reunited
with our families.”
Bogomolny’s sister, Natasha Sver-
bilov of San Francisco, fighting back
tears, asked, “How do you feel?”
Bogomolny replied, “I’m trying to
be brave. I’m trying to be brave and
looking forward.” The sisters fin
ished tneir conversation in Russian.
Dr. Steven Rosenberg, chief of
surgery at the National Institutes of
Health and the surgeon who oper
ated on President Reagan, said can
cer patients have two needs: treat
ment options and emotional support
best provided by families.
The Soviet victims “are simply
asking to be with the families they
love as they deal with and perhaps
die with their disease,” Rosenberg
said.
The physicians and many of the
eight senators present stressed that
their request was made in a humani
tarian spirit outside the realm of pol
itics.
But Sen. Alan Cranston, D-Calif.,
called the Soviet authorities' behav
ior “inexplicable and cruel." And
Sen. Alfonse D’Amato, chairman of
the American delegation to the Hel
sinki Commission, called the cancer
victims’ situations “incredible exam
ples of Soviet intransigence” regard
ing human rights.
D’Amato, R-N.Y., and Ambassa
dor Warren Zimmerman said they
will not ignore the issue in December
at a Vienna conference on the Hel
sinki human rights accords.
Senators at the press conference
were Lautenberg, Cranston, D’Am
ato, John Kerry, D-Mass.; Paul Si
mon, D-Ill.; Pete Wilson, R-Caiif.;
Gary Hart, D-Colo.; and Dennis De-
Concini, D-Ariz.
They all signed a letter to Gorba
chev requesting action on the cases.
Spending down 2.5 percent
U.S. firms cut investment
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S.
businesses, beset by a sluggish econ
omy and tax-law uncertainty, have
reduced their investment spending
plans by 2.5 percent for this year,
the biggest cut since the last reces
sion, the government reported
Thursday.
The Commerce Department said
a survey completed in August found
that businesses, after adjusting for
inflation, plan to spend $376.47 bil
lion this year on capital im
provement projects, down from
$386.32 billion actually spent in
1985.
It would be the first decline in
business investment since 1983 and
the biggest drop since a 7.9 percent
plunge in 1982.
Business spending on expansion
and modernization rose 8.7 percent
in 1985 after surging 15.8 percent in
1984.
Economists blamed the weak
economy, cutbacks in oil and gas
drilling and uncertainty over
changes in the tax law for the steep
decline in capital investment plans.
Many analysts said they believed
the investment decline will be even
worse than the survey plans indicate,
throwing further doubt on the Rea
gan administration’s forecast for re
vived economic growth in the second
half of the year.
The new estimate of spending
plans represented a downward revi
sion from the previous survey taken
in April and May. At that time, busi
nesses were planning a somewhat
smaller 1.3 percent cut in investment
this year.
“The downward revision from an
already dismal figure certainly isn’t
encouraging for economic growth
for the rest of the year,” said David
Wyss, economist with Data Re
sources Inc. of Lexington, Mass.
Michael Evans, head of Evans
Economics, a Washington consulting
firm, said he believed investment
spending will decline by 5 percent
this year, double the 2.5 percent sur
vey prediction.
Economists said the overhaul of
the tax law, which shifts $120 billion
in taxes from individuals to busi
nesses, forced companies to scale
back investment plans. Many provi
sions that favored business invest
ment have either been eliminated or
scaled back in the overhaul, which is
awaiting final congressional appro
val.
One of the biggest declines was a
32.9 percent drop in investment in
the mining industry, reflecting the
sharp cutbacks in oil and gas explo
ration and drilling this year because
of the fall in petroleum prices.
