As a KGB staff officer, NOSENIO is regularly assigned to the Counterintelligence Directorate of the XG3 in Noscow but was included in the Soviet dolegation to the Disarmament Conference as part of a cover arrangement which permitted him to carry out intelligence and security functions in Geneva on behalf of the KGB.3.

Government in dotecting Soviet subversive activity directed against the U. S. Government. During the course of his contact with U. S. authorities NOSENKO stated that his cooperation with the U. S.

# Nosenko's Account Disputes Charge by SovietBy TAD SZULOSpecial to The New York TimesWASHINGTON, Feb. 17: Yuri I. Nosenko told a Soviet Embassy official at their confrontation here last Friday that he left Switzerland on the way to the United States 28 hours before his defection was reported by the Russians to the Swiss authorities.This statement by the former staff officer of the Soviet Committee of State Security, the secret police, appeared to amount to a denial of the Soviet charge that the Swiss authorities had been negligent in preventing his defection.Mr. Nosenko, who quit as a member of the Soviet delegation to the Geneva disarmament conference Feb. 4, was allowed to meet with a Soviet diplomat here in the presence of United States officials.The State Department announced at the time that the confrontation was taking place in Washington at the request of the Soviet Embassy, but no other details were made public. The department said that al-Defection Preceded Report to Swiss Police, ApparentlyRaling Out NegligenceSwiss diplomat had been permitted to talk separately with Mr. NosenkoInformation made available today has thrown new light on the defection.The Soviet delegation in Geneva, it was reported, told the Swiss police at 3 P.M. Feb. 3 that Mr. Nosenko was missing. But Mr. Nosenko's statements in the presence of the Soviet Embassy official are said to have shown that his actual defection took place at 1 P.M. the preceding day.The Soviet delegation announced ir. Nosenko's disappearance Feb 9The meeting between Mr. Nosenko and the Soviet Embassy official took place in the headquarters of the Washington field office of the Immigration and NaturalizationService. Officials of the State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Immigration and Naturalization Service were also present.Mr. Nosenkawas described as having been completely relaxed during the interview.He is understood to have told the Soviet diplomat during their businesslike conference that he defected of his own volition, without any outside pressure.His statements, it was reported, did not allay Soviet resentment against Swiss authorities. Diplomatic reports reaching the State Department said that Soviet diplomats in foreign capitals continued to register complaints about alleged negligence after Mr. Nasenko's conference with the Soviet diplomat.

# U.S. Lets Swiss# And Red Envoys# Talk to DefectorNosenko AgainVoices DesireFor AsylumBy Chalmers M Roberts*Staff Reporter*Soviet secret police defector Yuri I. Nosenko is in the United States where he was interviewed yesterday by officials of both the Russian and Swiss Embassies.The State Department said each interview lasted less than an hour and that a Department official was present each time. Nosenko reaffirmed his earlier request for asylum in the United States and it will be granted.State Department spokesman Richard I. Phillips, in giving out this information, declined to say where the interviews took place or to give any details. Earlier he had said it was possible that newsmen here will be allowed to talk with Nosenko.Soviet Kicks up FussThese developments came as the Soviet Union kicked up a diplomatic fuss over the disappearance of Nosenko on Feb. 4, from Geneva, where he had been assigned as an "expert" in the Soviet delegation at the 17-nation disarmament conference. Phillips said he was "on temporary duty from KGB (secret police) headquarters in Moscow."Up to yesterday Moscow had been directing its public diplomatic wrath at the Swiss, charging them with loose security. The provision for a Swiss diplomat to interview Nosenko was to assure the Swiss that the United States had taken part in no illegal act on their soil.The Swiss already had strongly rejected the Soviet charges.On Wednesday, Phillips re- See DEFECTOR, A5, Col. 1

# Swiss, Soviets See Defectorported, yesterday, a Soviet called in American Embassy messenger brought a dor Foy Kobler and message to the State Department asking for information "as to the manner in which Mr. Nosenko presented himself to the U.S. authorities and requested an opportunity to interview him. The Department agreed to the interview with American-officials present and, said Nosenko also was agreeable: A reply about the defection also was given to the Soviet Embassy. Also on Wednesday, in Geneva, Soviet disarmament delegate Semyon K. Tsarapkin gave newsmen an angry statement aimed at the Swiss and charging "provocative activities" by unspecified Western agents. Up to then Tsarapkin had been saying both privately and publicly that the Nosenko defection would not affect the disarmament talks. Yesterday the Soviets stepped up their protest in two places, Moscow and Geneva. In Moscow, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei GromykoSerious Effects HintedIn Geneva Soviet officials. including Tsarapkin himself privately spread to the press hints of serious consequences. Soon there were rumors that Moscow would pull out its delegation, but up to last nizat noy such threat had actually been made, according to word reaching Washington. In public Tsarapkin said only "I have nothing to say, I am not in the position to tell you anything."At some so far unspecified date, Nosenko, who had apparently crossed from Switzerland to France, was flown to the United States. It is assumed he is in the hands of the Central Intelligence Agency the normal course for defectors.Officials here yesterday were knocking down the idea that he was a particularly big fish, that he knew any atomic secrets or that he knew anything about Soviet disarmament strategy: Rather they said, he was a KGB stiff officer, a security man operating as is the Soviet practice, in a tight compartment. That would mean he would have useful and perhaps important knowledge of part of the KGB but probably not much more.Believed GenuineIt is assumed here that the 36-year-old Nosenko is a genuine defector though the possibility of his being a double agent has not been overlooked. It also is felt here that the Soviet protest was stronger than could be expected. The request for an interview, rare but not unprecedented, was granted, in hopes of reciprocal treatment should the occasion arise. Moscow dispatches said not known. there had been no word up to last night of the defection on the Soviet radio or in the press though word of mouth reports had spread through the capital. It was felt here that Moscow might have stepped up its protest after Tsarapkin had publicly downgraded the case in Goneva. At any rate U.S. disarmament negotiator William C. Foster and Tsarapkin held another business session in Geneva yesterday at which they said the case was not discussed. It also was noted here that the Soviet Communist Party Central Committee has been in meeting in Moscow all this week. But whether the Nosenko case was, discussed was![photo of a handwritten text with the words WASHT Post 2/15/64 and Folie on the side]
