Defector reveals spy network
BONN, Germany — Reports of a Communist spy network involving agents in the United States swept West Germany yesterday. Government authorities announced that some arrests have been made but said the situation had been "grossly exaggerated."
The Hamburg newspaper Welt am Sonntag (Sunday World) identified a Soviet intelligence officer who defected to the West last month as Rupert Sigl, 44, and said he betrayed 250 "Soviet KGB officers, agents, sub-agents and cover addresses in West and East."
"Cover addresses" is spy parlance for post office boxes
Welt am Sonntag said Sigl, born in Austria, delivered "a trunkful of notebooks and secret documents" which led to the arrest of 25 persons. It said some arrests were made "among the chief agents in the United States," two of whom made "full confessions."
Partially confirmed
A spokesman for the West German prosecutor's office in Karlsruhe said a Soviet KGB officer named Rupert Sigl had defected to American intelligence agents in West Berlin in mid-April.
Sigl's revelations led to "less than 10 investigations of possible Soviet agents and fewer than that number have been arrested," The Karlruhe spokesman said. He said the bulk of the Welt am Sonntag story was "grossly exaggerated."
U. S. officials in West Berlin declined comment on the case and on the unmasking of two alleged Communist agents in the divided city, one of them a government official.
Communist coup
Meanwhile, the Communists had a coup of their own to crow about.
West German Army Maj. Hans-Joachim Kruse, a 44-year-old tactics instructor at the Hamburg officers academy, surfaced on East German television Saturday night more than a month after he disappeared.
Kruse, who had access to military secrets, said he had defected to East Germany because of the "growing influence" of the National Democratic Party in West Germany's armed forces. The party has been described as neo-Nazi by its critics.
USSR ready to stop China
LONDON Communist diplomats said yesterday the Soviet Union is preparing a combination of diplomatic and military moves in the Far East to contain Red China.
They said the Soviets are deeply disturbed about Peking's hostility toward Russia and "obsessed" with the alleged Chinese threat.
youngsters of the so-called cultural revolution movement?" the diplomats asked.
The Russians are now seeking some diplomatic arrangement whereby the issue may be settled.
PRE-MED SENIORS!
This anxiety, they indicated, lies behind the efforts of the Soviet Union to get talks started with Peking on the recent explosive frontier incidents on the Ussuri River.
- meets med-school requirements
This week Moscow made the third appeal to Peking for talks. The first two appeals remained unheeded. Peking merely told Moscow if it wants talks it must make formal diplomatic approaches and proposals to the regime of Mao Tse-tung.

Military threat
The diplomats said Russia is, at least for the time being, far less concerned with any military threat from China, which in nuclear development still lags far behind the Soviet Union.

Wnat Moscow fears, they said, is the sheer weight of numbers of the Chinese side, and the potential pressure from unarmed masses against the Soviet borders.

Bill says advertising only benefits big companies.
But who started aerosol shave cream? A small outfit,who backed a good idea with advertising.
Back in the '50's, a modest-sized company named Carter Products came up with something new: an aerosol push-button lather called RISE.
They didn't have much money for advertising-barely one-tenth of what the leading brushless shave cream was spending.
But that was enough. RISE was a hit.
Naturally, the big companies came back with their own aerosol brands. But the hotter competition got, the more people tried RISE. Today, RISE sells over 15 times what it did in its first year—thanks largely to all this advertising.
Maybe you, like Bill, think advertising favors big companies, raises prices, keeps unwanted products on the market. But ac
tual cases prove just the opposite. Advertising helps lower prices (look at color TV). Promotes new ideas (like RISE). Gives us a choice. Helps imaginative smaller companies compete (Volkswagen, for instance).
Interested? Write us. We'll gladly send you more facts about advertising. You'll find they speak for themselves.
In the meantime,keep an open mind.
