A numbor of Americans have been calling at tho U.S. Embassy who have not

Costillo has been referring these Americans directly to Golub at the

Soviet Fabaoss, as Golub once told Costille that he had the authority to

grant visas without prior approval Iron Moscow. As long as the Americans

had made travel arrangesents through a locel travel bureau, as well as hotel

reservations, he stated he had so objections in giving them a visa in a

mattor of minutes. He have had four occasions to try Golub out in this

matter, and so fer he has fulfilled his promise. Golub. on 3 August invitod

Costille for drinks in & local bar, and Costille asked hin again 1f he was

st1ll. willing to continue handling the Americans that he referred to Sol'ab

at the Soviet Consulate.

Golub stated that he was because he was interested

in having Anericans visit the Soviet Union.

"And besiles," he added, "gince

you are allowing Khrushcher to visit the U. So, there is no raason why I

can't let ordinary Americans cone to the USSR." Golub then began astang

about the official functions of an American Consulate and began comparing his

duites with ours.. Wen he listed his typical duties, he added that it was

his responsibility as a Soviet Consul to hendle Soviet defectors who cano to

Finland.

Golub sentiored that he had just returned from one of his more un-

pleasant alties of recovering the body of a Soviet sailor, who had gone berserk

and had shot and killed a number of soviet citizens on an island off the ccast

of Estonia, stole a small rotor launch and headed for Finlend.

His body was

found in the sea by a Finrish fishermen near the Finnish island of Musta',evonen

with a Finnish life

jacket on.

(This was reported in most of the Finnish

newspapers.

Evider. tly,

the Soviet had attempted to swin for it und dronior.

Golub stated that he had to go to this island, recover the body and bring 1t

back to Helsinid where it vas put into ¿ mortuary.

The cause of death was

definitely drowning.

The body orly had a Finnish life jacket and a pair of

swimming trunks on.

They later found the motor boat, but the notor was gone

and there was rothing in the boat.

Later a Soviet destrojer came to Helsina

to rotriere the borty. It was evidently Golub's responsibility to nake all

of these arrangements. Colub stated on this evening that he would like to

make a call on the U. S. Consulato sometine.

Costille said that he was welcome

at any titio.

The next morning Golub phoned Costille to say he would like to

saxor come over.

He arrived carrying à murber of Soviet visa and otber. forms.

Ho recained in the Consulate for about an hour and asked -ant quastions. as

to consular duties and U.S. citizenship.

Ho departed inviting Costille to

In Helsiridi, Colub seened to enjoy himself trenendously, was always at ease,

but preferred Costille's date to his orn. le paid very little attention to

Iden, altrough he was pleasant to her; he orly talkod at length with her when
