Soviets exhibit bugging devices, allege U.S. spying in its missions
MOSCOW — The Soviet Union yesterday displayed microphones and other gadgets it said were found in the walls and floors of its U.S. missions and said the devices proved Soviets were victims of U.S. spies.
The devices, no bigger than a pencil and some crammed with miniature electronics, are "material evidence of who is really intruding into the sovereign territory of others," Foreign Ministry spokesman Boris Pyadyshev said at a news briefing.
The briefing was a Kremlin response to reports that the KGB laced the U.S. Embassy in Moscow with bugging devices and compromised its security.
The Soviet counterattack came as U.S. officials were trying to gauge a sex-and-spy scandal that allegedly involved U.S. Marine guards who became sexually involved with Soviet women and
were enticed into allowing KGB agents inside the U.S. Embassy.
The Soviets have denied that they spied on the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. And officials have alleged the United States was trying to poison the atmosphere for the vices of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's weekly and harm chances for an arms control agreement.
Ppyadshev said alleged U.S. bugging operations violated international norms of conduct, impeded superpower relations and created "unbearable working and living conditions" for Kremlin diplomats.
Ivan N. Miroshkin of the Foreign Ministry's security service said U.S. bugging devices had been discovered in the Soviet Embassy in Washington, the embassy residential complex, the Soviet U.N. mission in New York and the Soviet consultate in San Francisco.
WASHINGTON — The House yesterday approved a $1 trillion Democratic budget that would raise $18 billion in new taxes. slash President Reagan's military build-up and block White House plans for sharp decreases in domestic programs.
Across the Country
The House endorsed the plan drafted by its Budget Committee, 230-192. No Republicans voted for it.
House OKs tax hike, cuts military spending
However, most lawmakers conceded that the blueprint would fail to meet the $108 billion deficit target of the Gramm-Rudman budget-balancing law. Democrats argued it did more to cut red ink than any other option, including the president's.
The House plan features a call for $18 billion in unspecified new taxes plus $1 billion from
increased tax enforcement and another $2 billion from fees and premiums for government services. Overall, it calls for $38 billion in taxes and spending cuts toward reducing the deficit, compared with $36 billion in the White House plan.
Reagan has threatened to veto any tax rate increase.
The Democratic plan would limit defense spending to $281.7 billion in outlays in the fiscal year starting Oct. 1, about $15 billion less than the president's plan.
The president's domestic spending cut plans, including the elimination of dozens of federal programs, was unacceptable to the lawmakers. In a symbolic vote before approving the Democratic plan, the House rejected Reagan's budget, 394-27.
Five die in cargo plane crash in California
TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — Five people were killed Wednesday in the crash of a cargo plane on a training flight for Southern Air Transport, a company once owned by the CIA and linked to contra aid efforts.
Officials said the four-engine Lockheed L-140 Hercules civilian aircraft was landing when it caught on a fence and cart-wheeled, exploding about 300 vards from the runway.
The crash was the second involving a southern Air plane in six months. On Oct. 4, 14-largo cargo plane crashed at Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio, Calif., killing three crewmen.
Air Force Capt. Tom Dolney said the plane crashed on its return to the base from a two and a half hour civilian training mission over Northern California. Details of the mission were not disclosed.
Southern Air Transport Inc., once owned by the CIA, currently is under investigation in the Iran-contra scandal as well as by a federal grand jury looking into private U.S. efforts to supply the contras.
The company has acknowledged servicing the plane that was shot down by Nicaraguan troops on Oct. 5 while bringing arms to the contras.
