tives of no foreign government to visit
its nationals in prison during the
course Of investigation and could
make no exception for the United
States.
Mrs. Rubens has been in Jail since
the beginning of December, on sus-
plcion OF espionage, Moscow officials
revealed recently.
Permission Asked by Hull.
Immediately on receiving the So
VETS admission on Monday that Mrs.
RubenS. who had entered the country
under the name of Ruth Norma Rob-
inson, wife of Donald Louis Robinson,
was in Jail, Secretary Hull requested
permission for an American Embassy
attache to talk with her.
In addition to refusing Mr.. Hulps
request for the time being. the So
viets replied yesterday on two other
points. They said they had estab-
lished definitely that Mrs. Rubens en-
tered the country in possession of a
passport in the name of Ruth Norma
Robinson, and that her Soviet visa
to the passport was valid.

The passport under which Mrs. Ru-

by the State Department to be false
having been issued on an applica-
ton supported by birth certificate
of a child long since dead. However
the Soviet admission that their visa
to the passport was valid is taken
to be point in Mrs. Rubens' favor
Forging the Soviet visa would have
been serious offense.

tiles refused today to permit United
States Embassy officials to visit Mrs.
Ruth Marie Rubens until after they
have finished questioning her.
Foreign circles doubted whether the
interview with the woman, identified
as an American citizen, who is held
in Lubianka Prison on suspicion of
spying, would be granted for some
time
Embassies of other powers pointed
out they had been denied permission
ever to visit their arrested nationals
in prison. Their requests, they said,
always had met with the reply that
prisoners could not be seen until
after questioning by Russian author
tiles.
Later, foreign representatives said,
they were told their interviews must
wait until after trial of the prisoners.
1t was doubted in well-informed
circles here, however, that Mrs.
Rubens would be brought to trial.
Many Americans expected she would
be deported.
