Britons' Flight
Laid 10 MvD

Soviet Russia's secret police
planned and directed" from
Moscow the escape from Eng
land of Guy Burgess and Donald
MacLean, one-time British diplo-
mats. according to a sworn
statement released yesterday by
the Senate Internal Security
subcommittee.
The statement was obtained
from Vladimir M. Petrov, former
Russian diplomat and secret po-
lice agent, who renowned COM
munism and received political
asylum in Australia.
The Petrov statement, which
reached Washington Friday
night. also said MVD, the Soviet
secret police, also engineered the
flight of Mrs. MacLean and her
children behind the Iron Curtain.
Mr.. Petrov said he did not
know Burgess and MacLean per-
sonally. He explained that his in
formation about them, including
the statement that the two had
worked for Soviet intelligence
since their student days at Cam
bridge University, came from his
MVD assistant in the Soviet
Embassy in Canberra.
Mr.. Petrov said the assistant,
Filipp Vasilievich Kislitsyn. came
to his Office in September, 1858,
with a newspaper reporting the
disappearance of Mrs. MacLeau
and her children from Switzer-
land a few days earlier.
The Petrov statement quoted
Kislitsyn as saying: so it has
come of at last. l knew about
this business. 1t happened just
as we planned it."
KiSlitSyn, Mr.. Petrov Swore,
told him that he had been &C.
quainted with the work of Bur-
CESS and MacLean as Soviet
agents over a period of years.
KislitSyn, the statement said, was
once stationed in England and
handled "brief-cases of Foreign
ONCE documents" brought out
by Burgess. He also headed in
Moscow an Office that was de
voted solely to the great quantity
iof material supplied by MacLean
and Burgess"
"Kislitsyn was in Moscow and
attended the conference of SEN
''ior MVD officers called to discuss
the possibility of getting these
agents out of danger and to the
safety of Soviet territory" the
statement said.
! Both Burgess and MacLean

While here they reused no sus-
picion of Communist leanings.

French to.SeII
Israel Il More
JET Fighters
BY WARREN ROGERS. Jr.
Associated Press stan Writer

France is getting ready to sell
IL more Mystere jet fighter
planes to Israel.
Like IL others of the speedy
French aircraft shipped to Israel
last month, these IL are being
taken out of production ordered
by the United States.
United States approval in both
cases was needed to divert the
planes from their original desti-
nation-the defense forces of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
ton. But in both cases the
United States refused to share
with France the responsibility
for sending them to Israel.
At Paris last night the French
Foreign Ministry said the United
States cleared the way for France
to fulfill Israel's request to buy
the aircraft. Officials here said
the United States approved di-
verting the planes from NATO
but left it up to France to de-
eide where they would then be
sent.
This is in line with what is
termed the United States policy
of friendly impartiality" to both
sides in the Arab-Israeli dispute.
1t also is in line with the policy
of United States reluctance to
ship arms to the area while
facilitating" arms sales to Is
rael by other western powers.
An Israeli request to buy some
500 million of United States de-
fensive weapons has been under
advisement" since November. 1t
was filed after Egypt began re-
|ceiving tens of millions of dollars
worth of Soviet bloc arms, in
Guiding reported 200 MIG Is
jet fighters, so nyushin IL28 jet
bombers. 200 tanks, 6 small SUBJ
marines. artillery and patrol tor
Ipedo boats.
American officials are studying
reports that the Czechs have
virtually completed delivery. Ac-
cording to these reports in diplo-
matte quarters the deal was OF
one years duration ending July
l3l and the Communists are run
ming ahead of time on deliveries.
