The note then announced the
custer Of Mr.. Guryanov ano
Mr.. Turkin. They are the first
members of a U. N. mission ever
to be declared PERSONA non
grata.
The incident, however. re-
called the sensational Kasen-
kina case of 1913. At that time,
a Russian woman, Mrs. Oksana
S. Kasenkina. who had been
teaching Soviet children in New
York, leaped from an upper win
dow of the Russian consulate in
New York, rather than return
to the Soviet Union.
AS a result, the State Depart
ment asked Soviet Consul-Gen-
eral Jacob Lomakin to get out of
the United States.
In retaliation. the Soviet
closed its consulates in New York
and San Francisco. and closed
American consulates in Vladi-
vostok and Leningrad. These
consulates never have been re-
opened.

ter of the present embodiment
were from the Russian tanker
Tuapse. Chinese Nationalist
captured the vessel in June. 1854,
while it was bound for Shanghai
in Communist China.
Nationalist and American
agents on Formosa helped per-
Suade nine of the creWmen to
seek political asylum in the
United States. The Chinese Ma
tionalists and-to a lesser ex-
tent-the United States hailed
this as a successful cold wal
gambit.
This April 7, however, five of
the seamen-accompanied by
members of the Russian mission
to U. N.-boarded a Soviet-bound
plane in New York. They told
immigration authorities they
wanted to return home.
The Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee turned up teSti-
mony indicating the seamen had
been coerced into returning to
the Soviet-possibly through vio-
lence, possibly through BRAIN
washing. or possibly through
threats to the Seamen'S families
still in the Soviet.

Some observers believe that they
would carry their objections to
the United Nations.
The American decision to act
against the Soviet diplomats was
announced in a note which Liv-
ingston T. Merchant, Assistant
Secretary of State for European
Affairs. handed late yesterday to
Georgi Zaroubin. the Soviet AM

Both Mr.. Kowalew and his

to Ryabenko and that Ryabenko
had been wearing it Thursday,
April S. He was last seen at 8
am. the next day by the Ko-
walew children, they said, as he
and Vaganol left with the two

Those two, plus three other
young Seamen - Valentin Luz

flew from New York'S Idlewild
Field on Saturday, April 7.
The State Department acted
on other evidence compiled by
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton and the immigration Serv-
ice. In cracking down on the
Russians, the State Department
did not accuse them of illegal
activities such as kidnapping. 1t
was enough to charge that they
engaged in activities which are
incompatible with the status of
the Soviet delegation"
Particularly Objectionable"
"In this regard" the United
States said in a note handed to
Mr.. Zaroubin, 1.-The conduct of
Aleksandr K. Guryanov and
Nikolai Turkin was particularly
Objectionable"
The State Department note
asked that Mr.. Guryanov make

Under an agreement in con-
nection with the establishment
of U. N. headquarters in New
York, the United States agrees to
allow diplomats assigned to U. N.
to live in the area and carry out
their duties. In this case. how
ever, members of the Soviet U. N.
mission became involved with
non-U. N. matters and, therefore,
gave the United States an excuse
for expelling them.
The inference was that if the
seamen had been approached by
members of the Soviet Embassy
or a Soviet Consulate. this would
have been within the realm of
normal duties and could have
drawn no objections from the
United States as long as the APP
proaches were made in an Or
derby manner.
The ousted diplomats, although
technically low-ranking men,
bers of the Soviet mission at
U. N.-helped prepare the Soviet
seamen to redefect. The chief
Soviet delegate to U. N. Arkady
Sobolev, was at Idlewild Airport
when the seamen passed through
immigration April 7.
1T is considered that members
of the Soviet delegation to the
| U. N. thereby performed acts of
an improper character exceeding
the scope of their official capac-
! ity and thereby abused the
privilege of the residence in con-
travention of the terms of the
Headquarters Agreement bet
tween the United States and the
U. NJ" the American note said.

pledge of a cease-fire and gen.
eral armistice observance.
These sources added Jordan
also was ready to agree for local
commanders to seek ways OF
avoiding incidents along the
frontier, and possibly to an in
crease in the number of U. N
truce observers on the border.
All Points Covered
After a final conference with
Premier Samir Ell Rifai. the Sec
rotary General in a statement
said that the whole field under
the mandate from the Security
Council ITO secure observance OF
the Palestine armistice) was COW
cred in the talks here and on all
points conclusions have been
reached.
Mr.. Hammarskjold. who was
directed by the Security Council
to seek ways of ensuring compli-
ance with the 1949 armlstice be-
tween Israel and her Arab neigh
bors, already has received prom
iSeS from Israel and Egypt to
observe an unconditional cease
fire along their borders.
Syria also has agreed to a
cease-fire. subject to a like
pledge from Israel, and Lebanon
has agreed to cooperate in cas-
ing tensions which are not acute
on that border.
After returning this afternoon
to his temporary Middle East
headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon,
the U. N. official planned to fly
to Cairo for further talks this
week end. His schedule called
for final conferences in Israel
next week He is to report to
the Security Council in New
York by May 4.
In meeting IN Jerusalem
yesterday, the U. N.-Jordan-
Israel Mixed Armistice Commits
sion held that both Israel and
Jordan violated the i949 arms
tice by firing across the demar-
cation line last week. The U. N
chairman of the commission ab-
stained from voting on motions
that attempted to fix the blame
starting the firing.
"Warlike Projects" Told
Syrian Foreign Ministry sources
in Damascus said meanwhile
that the Arab League had in
formed its members that two
economic warlike projects were
being planned by Israel.
The sources said a league note
described these as diversion OF
Jordan River waters and an at
tack on the area around the Gulf
of Aqaba. They said the note
declared the two plans had been
delayed by Jordan's custer March

then all submitted to questions

Use of Force Charged
Mr.. Shishin declared that,
prior to their departure, repre-
sentatives of the United States
immigration Service and Church
World Service threatened them
and tried to force them to re-
main in the United States.
Asked what force was used, he
replied:
Their methods are best
known to American authorities. "
Peppered with questions, all
maintained they chose to re-
turn of their own free will and
would have done so earlier if
thew could.
The group said four TaupSe
seamen remaining in the United
States ARE burning with desire
to return to their homeland, but
they are not permitted to con-

that the firm would attract many

A frequent visitor in the early
days was Uncle" Joe Cannon
speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives. The mems furnishings
department always had a good
stock of Uncle Joe's favorite
starched collars.
Of the many First Ladies who
! have shopped Hecht's store here,
the story is still told of Mrs
Calvin Coolidge who selected a
pair of shoes one day and told
the clerk she wanted to charge
the purchase.
do you have charge account
here?" the clerk asked.
Mrs. Coolidge said she did not.
The clerk guided her to the
credit department where the
customers address. 1000 Penn
sylvania avenue NV, touched a
responsive chord in the credit
clerks memory.
"You mean the White House?"
the clerk gasped.
The store makes no claim that
every occupant of the White
House has shopped its counters
since the first opening. But its
records reveal that the families
which have occupied the mansion
since President Franklin D. Roo
sevelt have been on the customer
list.
