Missing Soviet Spy
Is Now al 0kinaWa,
u. 5. Source Reveals
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Feb. 3.-A trust
worthy American military source
said today a Russian diplomat
spy reported missing last week
is revealing secrets of a Red spy
ring in Japan to United States
intelligence agents at Okinawa.
The source, who cannot be
identified. said inside secrets
from the highly efficient agent"
are helping crack the spy ring
The diplomat, Yuri Alexan-
drovich Rastovorov, apparently
fled in terror from the defunct
Russian mission in Tokyo. the
source said, after helping set up
a spy network that already has
penetrated some of the highest
levels Of the Japanese govern
ment."
'RaStovorov left out of fear
for his life" the source said.
THE claim of the Russian mis-
sion that he was kidnapped by the
Americans in ridiculous"
Russians Accuse U. S.
After Mr.. Rastovorov disap-
peared January "a, the Soviet
mission first reported to Japa-
nese police that he was missing
and later accused the United
States of kidnapping him.
However. the American source
said Mr.. Rastovorov fled after
being ordered back to Moscow
because he apparently was
found "softening" ward
Americans.
The source said a Russian in
telligence agent accompanying a
Russian ice-skating team here in
January brought orders for Mr..
Rastovorov to return home. He
said Mr.. Rastovorov decided to
ask the Americans for asylum.
The source said Mr.. Rastovo-
row has been under close Amer
lean surveillance more than a
year.
He was not being recalled
because of any bungle." the in
formant said. He was a highly
efficient agent"
Key Figure in Ring.
The source said Mr. Rastovo-
row is believed to be a lieutenant
colonel in the MVD (secret po-
ice). Such a rank would make
him a key figure in spy ring
here.
The source also said two other
Russian agents in Tokyo-both
friends of Mr.. RaStovorov-want-
ed to give themselves over to
the Americans. but are being
sent home guarded by five Rus
slams.
He said these are the seven
men the Russian mission said
would return shortly to the So
Wet Union.
Winning Mr.. Rastovorov away
from the SovietS could be one of
the greatest American intelli-
egnce exploits since the end of
World War II.
Could Name Spies.
A man of his rank probably
would be able to name every
important spy in Japan and also
provide clues of the missing
leaders of the japanese Com
munist Party, who went under
ground about four years ago.
The American source said Mr..
Rastovorov's pending detection
probably was no surprise to the
American officials.
1T may have surprised the
Russians and the Japanese, but
1t came as no surprise to the
American Army" the informant
said.
