Agent SaysHe Delayed
CopIon Arrest, Hoping
For Lead on Others
By Jones J. CulIinone

Judith coplon. attractive Justice
Department analyst. was not ar
rested after FBI agents saw her
supposedly hand something to her
alleged Russian accomplish be-
cause the agents thought she
might lead them to other spy con-
facts, it was testified at her
espionage trial In District Court
today.
Defense Attorney Archibald
Palmer asked Special FBI Agent
Roger Robinson why Miss Coplon
and valentine Gubitchev. Soviet
engineer employed by the United
Nations, were allowed to go their
way unmolested after meeting
" under suspicious circumstances in
New York on February 10.
Why didn't you arrest Gubit-
chev and the girl them" Mr..
Palmer asked.
Would Have Been Premature.
II thought an arrest then would
be premature" Agent Robinson
replied. The case at that time
had not been fully developed. We
had in mind, also, that there
might be other contacts that
Gubitchev and the defendant had.
We thought other individuals
might be involved in this espion-
age case"
Miss Coplen and Gubitchev were
arrested March 4 when they met
again in New York.
Mr.. Robinson said he saw Miss
Coplon reach into her purse as
she approached Gubitchev on
February 10 and apparently take
something from 1t. Gubitchev fell
into step beside her and they
walked together for only Ave or
six PAGES before separating, Mr..
Robinson said.
Miss Coplon's hand was out
stretched as she approached Gu
bftchev, but the agent said he did
not actually see her pass anything
to the Russian.
Denies Slur Against Woman.
+. MIR. Robinson Indignantly de-
MED that he had ever referred TO
Miss Coplon as white trash" fol-
lowing her arrest.
FBI agents advised Miss Cop
lon after her arrest that she did
not have to answer any questions
and that anything she said would
be used against her. MIR. Robin
son said. Nevertheless. he sd-
mitted, the agents continued to
question her for three hours after
she was advised of her constitu-
tional rights. He said she refused
to answer their questions or make
any explanation of her relation
ship with Gubitchsv.
Mr.. Palmer was blocked in an
effort to have Mr.. Robinson put
on Miss Coplon's eye glasses to de-
termine whether the lenses were
designed to correct near-sighted-
ness.
When Judge Albert Reeves re-
fused to let the witness put on the
glasses, MIR. Palmer dropped the
subject without explaining why he
wanted to prove that Miss Coplon
is nearsighted.
AS the trial entered its 10th day,
the prosecution fought to speed up
presentation of Its evidence. :
Chief Prosecutor John M. KEEL
ley, jr., said it may take at least
two more weeks for the Govern
ment to complete its case because

the entire Deacon Board and 9TH

revealed deep appreciation Of
the Veterans who, in their turn,
were offering sincere tribute to
the Church, a church which has
presented many veterans with a
Bible and the faith and which, in
at least one case, probably saved
the life of a veteran who car
ried his small Bible into battle
over his heart. The Shiloh
Choir, over his heart. The Shi-
lob Choir, superbly directed by
the talented army veteran, Fred
Wright, seemed to reflect the
greatness of the moment with
each member and the able &C.
companist, Mrs. DoDrothy John

beautifully illustrated in Miss
