Of Immunity

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 (AP).-|
A Federal Judge ruled today
that Igor Y. Melekh, Russian
United Nations employe. is not
entitled to diplomatic immunity
and ordered him removed to
Chicago to face spy charges.
Willie Hirsch, a German
born medical illustrator ar.
rested with Melekh on spy
charges, also was ordered taken
to Chicago to stand trial.
The two were arrested by the
FBI here october 81 following
indictment in Chicago on
charges Of seeking military
maps and photographs of the
Chicago area. The material
was for transmission to Mos
COW, the FBI said.
Had Reserved Decision
Federal District Court Judge
William B. Herlands on No
vember 8 had reserved decision
on a plea by the 47-year-old
Melekh that he had diplomatic
immunity against prosecution.
The Government contended,
however. that the State Depart
ment already had ruled he was
not entitled to immunity.
Melekh, chief of the Russian
language section in the U. N.
Ofi1ce of Conference Services,
has been free on $50, 900 bail.
His wife posted the bond and
said she received it as a loan
from the Soviet Embassy in
Washington.
Hirsch has been held in the
Federal House Of Detention in
lieu Of $4,000 bail.
Claimed Immunity
He had argued through coun-
sci that he was entitled to Dip
lomatic immunity because he
Travelled on a diplomatic pass
port on arriving in the United
States in 1855 to accept the
U. N. post.
He also said that officially he
was second secretary of the So
Wet Ministry of Foreign Affairs
at the time Of his arrival.
Judge Herlands said in his
decision:
"The court must conclude
that the applicable provisions
of law do not confer immunity
upon the defendant Melekh
with respect to the acts charged
in the indictment"
Judge Herlands granted a
government request that
Melekh be ordered to Chicago
as soon as possible. He is
ordered to appear there by Q
