Soviet Won't Permit
Harm 10 It's People,
Izvestia Says Bitterly

LONDON, Aug. 13.-Izvestia, the
Russian government newspaper,
commented bitterly today on what
it called the kidnapping" of Soviet
citizens in the United States. 1t
said the whole land of the Soviets
will not permit any harm to come to
her people, wherever they may be-"
The article, quoted by the Soviet
agency, Tass, made no mention.
however, that a central figure in the
case, 52-year-old Oksana Stepanovna
Kosenkina, plunged from window
of the Soviet Consulate in New York
yesterday afternoon.
Pravda Charged kidnapping.
Izvestia's article. entitled De-
meanor OF Dollar Democracy" fol-
lowed the lines of yesterdays dia-
tribe by Pravda, the Communist
Party newspaper, which also charged
American officials With kidnapping"
Izvestia said:
The kidnapping in New York OF
the Soviet citizens OkSana Kosen-
kina and Michael Samarine, with
his family, has aroused profound in
dignation among the Soviet public"
The fact that Kosenkina has
been saved from the dirty hands of
the firelings of the American in
tellgence Service-RusSian White
Guards-in no way frees the COM
petent American authorities from.
responsibility" Izvestia said
1T is not owing to their desire
or will that Kosenkina has escaped
from the hands of political gang
SterS
U. S. Authorities Blamed.
Meanwhile, as admitted by one
'of the chieftains of the White
Guard band of kidnapers, the for
fmer Countess Alexandra Tolstoy,
the Soviet citizen Samarine, his wife
and three children still remain in
the grip of this band.
Responsibility for the lives OF
these Soviet citizens rests not only,
and not so much. with the direct
culprits-for it is hardly possible to
visualize this revolving scum taking
any independent actions-aS with
the competent American authorities
whom international law obliges to
insure maximum security to citizens
OF foreign power whose sojourn on
the territory of the United States is
legally grounded.
