Russian officials
claim embassies
bugged’ by U.S.
MOSCOW (AP) — The Soviet
Union displayed microphones and
other gadgets it said were dug from
the walls and floors of its U.S. mis
sions Thursday and claimed the de
vices prove that Soviets are victims of
American spies.
The devices, some crammed with
miniature electronics and no bigger
than a pencil, are “material evidence
of who is really intruding into the
sovereign territory of others,” For
eign Ministry spokesman Boris
Pyadyshev said at a news briefing.
The display of objects allegedly
planted at Soviet missions and resi
dences in Washington, San Fran
cisco and New York was clearly a
Kremlin response to reports that the
KGB laced the U.S. Embassy in Mos
cow with bugging devices.
T he Soviet counterattack came as
American officials were trying to
gauge a sex-and-spy scandal that al-
legly involved U.S. Marine guards
who became sexually involved with
Soviet women and were enticed into
allowing KGB agents inside the
American Embassy.
It was not possible for journalists
to verify that the transmitters, re
ceivers and other electronic devices
had actually been planted on Soviet
property by U.S. agents.
The Soviet Union took extraordi
nary measures to protect its new
Washington embassy after the
United States tried in 1979 to bug
apartment buildings inside the com
pound, the Washington Post re
ported Thursday.
John Carl Warnecke Sr., who
helped design the $65 million com
plex, told the newspaper the discov
ery of listening devices caused the
Soviets to dismantle parts of the new
chancery building and X-ray “each
inch of steel the night before it was
put up.” They also refused to accept
materials prefabricated outside the
compound, Warnecke said.
The Soviets have denied that they
spied on the U.S. Embassy in Mos
cow. And officials have claimed the
United States is trying to poison the
atmosphere for the visit of Secretary
of State George P. Shultz next week
and harm chances for an arms con
trol agreement.
“Not a single fact has been pro
duced,” Pyadyshev commented, con
trasting the U.S. charges with the
display shown by the Soviets at the
news conference.
“What we are dealing with is
words, and words of this kind are
not worth a lot,” he said.
Pyadyshev added that accusations
of Soviet spy operations aimed at the
U.S. Embassy were fabricated by
“forces of the extremist, militarist
wing” in an attempt to wreck any
chance of superpower accord.
Ivan N. Miroshkin of the Foreign
Ministry’s security service told re
porters that some of the devices dis
played had been found several days
a g°-
Spying equipment was found in
rooftop beams, bricks and cinderb-
locks, Miroshkin said.
Among the devices put on display
by the Soviets were:
• A 4-foot-long noose-shaped coil
wrapped in insulation, said to have
been used in a bugging system dis
guised as an inner-window sealant
strip at the new Soviet Embassy of
fice tower in Washington.
• Four components the size of ra
dio tubes that were allegedly planted
at the Soviet consulate in San Fran
cisco.
• A 10-inch-long pencil-slim min
iaturized microphone that report
edly was used to bug the new Soviet
residential complex in Washington.
• Photographs and bricks that
Miroshkin said showed a bugging
device that optically beamed infor
mation from the Soviet Embassy res
idency on infrared frequencies.
Reagan calls spying
by Soviets outrageous
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan called Soviet spying in
the U.S. Embassy in Moscow “outra
geous” Thursday and his chief of
staff said while he assumes this coun
try keeps an eye on Soviet diplomats,
it would never do “what the Soviets
have done.”
The remarks by both Reagan and
his aide, Howard Baker, came in re
sponse to an accusation in Moscow
by Soviet Foreign Ministry spokes
man Boris Pyadyshev that an “ex
tremist, militarist wing” in the
United States had fabricated charges
that the KGB planted listening de
vices in both the old U.S. Embassy
and the new embassy that is to re
place it.
Reagan deplored Soviet bugging
of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow but
declined to say what America does
along those lines.
“I’m not going to discuss our intel
ligence or counter-intelligence, or
there wouldn’t be any that would be
useful any more,” Reagan told re
porters in West Lafayette, Ind., after
a speech at Purdue University.
Baker said the scope of Soviet spy
ing on Americans in Russia “really
represent an invasion of our sover
eign rights.”
“I assume that we have intelli
gence capability related to Soviet in
stallations, but I don’t know that,”
Baker said. “I don’t think the United
States would do what the Soviets
have done.”
Reagan said: “I cannot and will
not comment on United States intel
ligence activities. Nonetheless, I can
say that what the Soviets did to our
embassy in Moscow is outrageous,
and we have protested strongly. We
are conducting a full investigation
and will take whatever corrective ac
tion is necessary. . . . Diplomatic in
stitutions . . . can and must be se
cured from Soviet spying.”
Baker told reporters aboard Air
Force One, “The scope and extent of
it really represent an invasion of our
sovereign rights .... But I would
certainly be disappointed if the
United States didn’t have counterin
telligence capabilities — intelligence
capabilities of our own — in our
country and abroad.”
Baker said Reagan is indignant,
but because of the “high stakes in
volved” he will not allow the spying
incidents to block Shultz’s arms con
trol negotiations in Moscow next
week.
Baker said that Shultz would raise
the espionage issue with Soviet For
eign Foreign Mininster Eduard A.
Shevarnadze, but was likely to focus
largely on arms control issues.
Huge crowd greets
Gorbachev in Prague
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia (AP) —
More than 150,000 people warmly
greeted Soviet leader Mikhail S.
Gorbachev when he arrived in Pra
gue on Thursday for a visit that has
raised hopes among many Czechos
lovaks that their conservative lead
ership will adopt recent Kremlin re
forms.
Although welcoming crowds are
arranged for Soviet visitors, Prague
residents said they could not recall
such a big turnout since the first
man in space, Yuri Gagarin, came to
Prague in 1961.
Gorbachev stepped into the
crowds to shake hands and told one
group in Russian, “We are old
friends.”
Gorbachev, whose trip was post
poned three days because of a cold,
held his first talks with host Gustav
Husak, the 74-year-old president
and party leader, after an airport
welcome and a ceremonial greeting
in front of Hradcany Castle on a hill
overlooking the old city.
Little detail emerged from the
talks, but a Soviet spokesman said
they concerned cooperation between
the Communist parties in Moscow
and Prague.
Gorbachev indicated to Prague
residents that he would not make
public any differences with Husak.
State television showed Gorba
chev telling residents of a city suburb
that “We have complete trust in
(your) leadership.”
Husak came to power in 1969 af
ter a Soviet-led Warsaw Pact inva
sion in August 1968 crushed reform
attempts by then Czechoslovak party
leader Alexander Dubcek.
Since then, Husak’s regime has
gained a reputation as one of the
most conservative and repressive
governments in the Soviet bloc.
Husak last month lent strong ver
bal support to Moscow’s selective re
forms, but made clear they will come
slowly — if at all — to Czechoslova
kia.
But it seemed clear that the Cze
choslovak public is interested in the
possibility of reform, and that the
enthusiasm of the crowds was genu
ine. At the airport people waved
small Soviet flags and shouted,
“Long live Comrade Gorbachev.”
Czechoslovak television quoted
Vadim Zagladin, deputy head of the
Soviet Central Committee’s Interna
tional Information Department, as
saying Gorbachev would make an
important speech on international
affairs while in Czechoslovakia.
Gorbachev is to speak Friday, and
there is speculation he will use the
opportunity to announce a withdra
wal of some Soviet troops from
Czechoslovakia or make new arms
control proposals.
