Man Pleads Guilty to Giving US. Secrets To Foreign Power

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, R- Joseph s. Petersen changed his mind Wednesday and admitted that as an employe of highly secret government agency he used secret information "in a manner prejudicial to the safety and inter est of the United States"
 By pleading guilty to one of three charges, the former analyst and researcher for the National Security Agency may escape trial on the remaining charges. Until Wednesday he had maintained he was innocent of all of them.
 Petersen said through his at- torney that he changed his plea for the best interests of this coun- try.
 Peterson, 40, for 13 years an employe of the National Security Agency and it's predecessors, was arrested by the FBI last Oct. 9 and charged with improperly talk ing classified information with treason to believe" it was being used by foreign power.
 The United States subsequently, identified the Netherlands as the government with which Petersen exchanged" information. Dutch officials said their relations with Petersen went back to World War II, and they had no reason to sus- pect his activities were not auth orized.
