Soviet Union reports defection of U.S. serviceman and his wife
MOSCOW — The Kremlin announced yesterday that a U.S. soldier and his West German wife had defected to the Soviet Union and been granted asylum because they feared political persecution.
The U.S. Army in West Germany and the Pentagon could not confirm the defection, which would be the first by a U.S. serviceman to the Soviet Union since the Vietnam War.
The Pentagon issued a statement, however, saying that it was investigating an enlisted man with a name similar to that announced by the Soviets who had deserted in West Germany a month ago. It said that it was not certain whether he was the same person.
The reported defection came at a time when the U.S. Embassy in Moscow was trying to deal with a spy case in which two former Marine guards had been charged with espionage.
Soviet Foreign Ministry spokesman Gennady Gerasimov identified the soldier as William E. Roberts of the U.S. Army, whom he said had been stationed in West Germany.
Gerasimov said he was not sure of the couple's present whereabouts. The official Tass news agency said it would provide a photograph today showing the couple in Turkmenia, a Central Asian Soviet republic that borders Iran and Afghanistan.
Mine fire in Quebec kills one; 46 rescued
MURDOCHVILLE, Quebec — An explosion in a Quebec copper mine sparked a fire Wednesday that spewed clouds of black smoke through a tunnel, killing one miner, officials said yesterday. Rescuers reached 46 others trapped underground.
After the blaze broke out Wednesday night, 29 miners held up in an underground lunchroom 2,000 feet beneath the earth's surface. The room was below the fire and the miners had air and water, Susan Lewis, a spokesman for the
company that owns the mine said. Seventeen other miners initially unaccounted for because of a breakdown in radio communications were found by rescue teams in other lunchrooms, also with suffient air and water, about 1,700 feet underground, she said.
Lewis said rescue workers planned to leave the miners in the lunchrooms until thick smoke from ramps leading to the surface.
Lewis said company officials did not know what touched off the fire.

The Washington Post reported yesterday that U.S. investigators wanted to question Katz about his role in channeling Israeli payments to Jonathan Jay Pollard, who received $2,500 a month for suitcases of classified U.D. documents. The newspaper said prosecutors thought Katz owned a Washington apartment building where Israelis photocoped the U.S. secrets.
Katz said his Washington apartment was often unoccupied and denied having knowledge that anyone connected with the Pollard case used it.

Former CIA official denies role in arms sale
WASHINGTON — A former top CIA official, whose name emerged as a possible figure in both the Iran arms deal and contra diversion, said he played no role in either affair.
Theodore Shackley, the CIA's top agent in Vietnam and Laos in the late 1960s, was mentioned in both the Tower Commission and the Senate Intelligence Committee's reports on the situation and in subsequent news accounts about the case.
He said the committee was wrong in including in its report an uncorroborated statement that his name was on one of the secret Swiss bank accounts. Profits from the Iran arms deal were diverted to those accounts.
But Shackley objected to how he was portrayed by the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Jazz drummer Buddv Rich dies at 69
Shackley said that he never had a Swiss bank account and that he had nothing to do with the Iran arms deal.
LOS ANGELES — Buddy Rich, the legendary jazz drummer who began his career more than a half century ago as a vaudelle song-and-dance prodigy, died yesterday. He was 69.
Rich, a self-taught drummer who played with Artie Shaw and Tommy Dorsey before starting his
own band, and undergone surgery March 16 at the UCLA Medical Center for a brain tumor and had been undergoing daily chemotherapy treatment at the hospital.
"I could hardly believe the news of Buddy's death, if only because he was so vital and full of life," said Frank Sinatra.
