Fugitive Red Colonel
Given British Asylum
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON, May 6-The Russian
Col. j. D. Tassojew, who fled his
reparations job in Germany, is re-
ceiving asylum here as a political
refugee.
The Foreign Office, announcing
this today said Col Tassojew volun-
tarily gave up his Soviet citizenship
and decided to seek shelter in Brit
ain. Shortly after the colonel dis
appeared from his post in Bremen,
Russia charged that he had been
kidnapped by the United States.
The Foreign Office spokesman
said the Russian will live here as
private individual "as other DO
litical refugees before-Lenin, for
example" The British government
will not pay his expenses.
Bremen is an American-controlle
port surrounded by the British zone
of Germany. Col. Tassojew, ac-
cordlng to reports in Bremen last
week, had been ordered back to
Russia. The Foreign Office said
Col. Tassojew called on the Amer
ican port director TO say good-by,
there met a friend and decided to
leave Germany Immediately. The
spokesman said he did not know
the nationality of the friend, nor
whether he accompanied Col. Tasso-
lew here.

was not the case.
1t was only by coincidence, he
said. that Mr.. Figueres' coup came
on the heels of the refusal to recog-
nize Mr.. Ulate as President. The
revolt had been in the planning
stage for four years, he said.
Mr.. Figueres, he indicated, will
be the boss for at least 18 months
selecting members of a "caretaker"
governing board. Mr.. Ulate, how
ever, has been invited to serve as
chairman of the board. While an
elected constituent assembly pre-
pares constitution. the Figueres
group plans to put through a pro-
gram of social reform.
Morale among the guerrillas was
high, Mr.. RosSi said. It took 80
men to seize the important San
Isidro airport from twice that num-
Der of government troops. The city
of Limon fell to go armed insurgents.
"Limon is much bigger place -
Mr.. Rossi explained apologetically.
The rebel forces lost Al men killed
he said. Communists sided with
the government in the fighting.
There was only one question which
the young diplomat would not an

arms? He would say only that the
United States did not supply them.

Mine Owners, Union
Start Preliminary
Contract ParIeys
By james Y. Newton

Preliminaries to new contract ne
gotiations in both the soft coal and
anthracite industries were under
way here today.
The negotiators for the Nations
soft coal operators were meeting at
the Shoreham Hotel to prepare an
answer to John L. Lewis notice that
new contract negotiations should
start May 18.
The operators also repeatedly were
preparing their side of the case for
presentation when they meet with
Mr.. Lewis and other representative
of the United Mine Workers.
Mr.. Lewis. meanwhile, was meet
ing at his Office with UNIV district
officials from the Pennsylvania
hard-coal fields. The anthracite
contract has no termination date,
but may be reopened by either side
on 30 days notice.
1t was understood that Mr.. Lewis
intends to draft new contract with
the hard coal operators which would
take effect August /.
The present contract in the soft
coal industry expires June 30.
There have been indications that
Mr.. Lewis would demand a sizeable
wage increase for the soft coal
miners as well as large increase
in the present welfare and retire.
ment fund royalty of 10 cents per
to,1 ~, o1 o@ol
Differences between Mr.. Lewis
and the operators over pensions for
miners undoubtedly will play an inn
portant part in the coming nego-
tiations.
