Judith Cop|on Styled
Victim Of Conspiracy

Department employe convicted as
a spy for Russia, was pictured
before the United States Court Of
Appeals as the innocent victim of
an unlawful conspiracy by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Attorneys for the 28-year-old
former Government girl who faces
a 25-year prison term. told the
court her conviction in District
Court last year should be set
aside.
Defense Attorney Leonard B.
Boudin told the appellate court
the prosecution deliberately con-
cealed facts" and Government
witnesses perjured themselves to
obtain the conviction of the once
highly trusted Government girl.
Earlier Charges Recalled.
Similar charges were made
earlier this month before the
Circuit Court of Appeals in New
York where Judge Learned Hand
sternly rebuked the Government
for "a wanton and deliberate
destruction Of overlapping rec
ords."
Mr.. Boudin told the appellate
court here that the Government
deliberately concealed from the
jury and the defense the fact that
Miss Coplon's telephones at her
Office and her home in Mclean
Gardens and at the home of her
parents in Brooklyn. had been
tapped by FBI agents for several
weeks preceding her arrest.
Miss Coplon was arrested in
January, 1949. in the company of
Valentin Gubitchev. Russian for

Envoy to Russia Called Home.
The wartime prime minister, OBJ
serving his 10th birthday, was the
first speaker in this second and
final day of foreign affairs debate.
He began talking before President
Truman's announcement that use

nese Communists Is being consid-
cred.
just before he began speaking,
Britain announced that her AM
bassador to Russia has been re-
called for consultations and that
a conference of Britain's top dip
lomatic and military chiefs in the
Far East has been summoned for
December near Singapore.

churian frontier and early peace
talks with Red China.
The cabinet. meeting today for
the second day in a row, was said
to have decided the whole weight
Iof British influence must be used
to prevent any attack by U. N.
forces on Chinese territory.
In the view of official sources
who reported this. such an attack
on Red China could-and prob
ably would-touch off World War
III.
Russia has a treaty Of friend
ship and defense with China. It's
most important known clause
binds the Russians automatically

their disposal" If China is at
tackled by a state or states "di-
rectly or indirectly" united with.
Japan.
Considered as Meaning U. s.
Western diplomats in this
capital assume that would mean
the United States and her friends.
They base their assumption on
the tone and content of Soviet
press articles which in recent
weeks have stressed that an
American-Japanese alliance exists
and that the two countries have
agreed on program of japanese
remilitarization.
The British have sought as
surance from the United States
that the American action in
branding Chinese Intervention in
Korea aggression" would not be
accompanied by immediate de-
mands for U. N. enforcement ac-
ton. This assurance apparently
was provided.
AS a result Foreign Secretary
Bevin was able to tell the House
OF Commons Britain still hopes
to stabilize" the military situa-
ton in Korea and to talk peace
with the Chinese Communists.
