Woman Held By
Reds Identified
AS An American
United States Again Be-
comes Concerned Over
Imprisonment

MOSCOW, Jan. s. (UP)-The
mystery of "Mr. and Mrs. Donald
Louis Robinson" who are prison
ers in Soviet prison, became a
concern of the United States gov
eminent again last night when the
woman was identified as Mrs. Ar
mold A. RubenS, an American cit
izen.
Americans who talked with
Mrs. Robinson" before she dis
appeared from Moscow's National
hotel on December 7 definitely
identified her from radioed pho
tographS as the former German
town, Pa, woman.
The U. S. embassy immediate
~ communicated the identified
ton to the state department in
Washington and asked instruc-
tionS.
The photographs were radioed
from the state department IN
Washington to London, thence to
Moscow.
The man known as Robinson"
could not be identified by the
same Americans, however. He dis
appeared several days before his
wife was learned to be missing;
The "Robinsons," who entered
Russia on false American pass
norris were believed to have left
the United States as Mr.. and Mrs.
RubenS.
The Russian government an
nounced on December l6 that the
couple were under arrest on sus-
picion of completely in conSpirlng
against the Stain regime. 1t was
limited that they might be Trot-
skyists.
Mrs. Robinson, alias Mrs. Ru-
bens. is the former Ruth Marie
Boerger, 30, born in German
town, near Philadelphia. She sub
seouently married Joseph Bra
man, by whom she had a daugh-
ter, Ruth, now eight. They were
divorced and she married Rubens
3 1-2 years ago. Her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Frederick Boerger, are
now in Miami, Fla, and caring
for her daughter.
II was believed that Robinson
was Rubens who was born IN Lat
via and allegedly forged natural
ization papers to become an
American citizen. On that account
II was believed the U. S. embassy
would have no interest in him.
