LONDON ? At least half the 300 Soviets employed by
the United Nations are spies and one is a special
assistant to Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim, said
former Soviet U.N. official Arkady Shevchenko, who
defected last year.
"There is a saying that they consider the U.N. the
tallest observation tower in the Western world for
intelligence activity," said Shcevchenko, who left his

security affairs in April 1978 for U.S. asylum.
A special assistant to Waldheim is an officer of the
KGB, the Soviet secret police, Shevchenko said
Monday on the British Broadcasting Corp. morning
television show "Panorama."
BBC said it could identify only one Soviet special
acciclant WnlHhpim Viofrnr I i^Qinvski Hp was not
available for comment at U.N. headquarters in New

"They consider it as the best place for the
propaganda, and later discover that it's one of the best
places for their intelligence activities, and actually the
U.N. has become one of the most important bases for
the KGB or GRU," he added. GRU is Soviet Military
Intelligence.

TEL AVIV, Israel ? The Rev. Jesse Jackson headed
into another round of political meetings yesterday
after the Israelis shot down his call for recognition of
the Palestine Liberation Organization and four Syrian
jets over Lebanon.
Jackson and his 15 member group had meetings
scheduled with Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek, opposition
Labor Party leader Shimon Peres, and
political leaders in the occupied West Bank of the
Jordan River.
The American black activist leader arrived Monday
and told Kollek and former Israeli U.N. Ambassador
Simha Dinitz that Israel should "relieve America of its
gag policy and recognize the PLO."
Dinitz called the PLO "the enemy of the peace
process" and said, "Every person in Israel has lost a
relative in either the Nazi holocaust or the Arab

Syrian planes down
BEIRUT, Lebanon ? Israeli warplanes, including
the advanced American-made F-15, battled with
Syrian jets in the skies south of Beirut Monday, and
two to four Syrian MIGs were reported shot down.
Lebanese government sources said two Syrian jets
crashed in flames near Beirut International Airport
but their pilots parachuted to safety.
An Israeli military command spokesman in Tel Aviv
said four Syrian MIG-21S were downed and all Israeli
aircraft returned safely to base.
It was the second dogfight between the lod enemies
in four days, and came at a time when the United
States and other countries are growing increasingly
critical of Israeli military actions in Lebanon. Israel
vows to continue its policy of striking at Palestinian
guerrilla bases in southern Lebanon.

corruption have been followed for years within the
Army's recruiting command in a high-pressure

Army, four accused recruiters said.
The recruiters, all relieved of duty and three facing
court-martials in a nationwide recruiting scandal, said
that getting copies of entrance exams to help enlistees
cheat m the Army's Charlotte recruiting district was
as easy as opening one's mail.
"They mainly come in the mail," said one of the four.
Or, he said, a veteran of the system takes a new
recruiter "to the side and slips him one." Copies of the
tests are not supposed to be available to recruiters.

Inmates to be freed
MONTGOMERY, Ala. ? A federal judge has ordered
the release of 55 inmates from the Montgomery
County Jail to relieve court prohibited overcrowding in
the facility.
U.S. District Judge Robert Varner, in ordering the
mass release of prisoners, said a special committee
would be established to determine those inmates
"most deserving of release."
Varner noted that a federal court order in December
1977 fixed 120 as the number of inmates the Montgomery
County Jail could legally house. He was informed
last Friday that the jail, at that time, housed
175 inmates.
Varner said in his order that it was44 this court's duty
to fashion such relief as is essential to protect the
constitutional rights of all persons before the court."
The ban on overcrowding was based on arguments that

Preemie doing well
NORFOLK, Va. ? Against all odds, Vernetta
Shemeika Johnson, born weighing only a single round.
has clung to life for 12 days at Children's Hospital of the
King's Daughters.
Vernetta, a twin born three months prematurely
Sept. 12 in nearby Suffolk, is the smallest baby ever
treated at the Norfolk hospital. Her twin died, and
doctors at first thought the girl's chance for survival
were so slim that they discouraged a request to have
her transferred to the Hospital's sophisticated
neonatal intensive care unit.
Doctors normally do not try to save infants of her
size, and neonatal specialists elsewhere in the state

Kennedy backers unite
COLUMBIA ? Supporters of Sen. Edward M.
Kennedy have begun forming a South Carolina cam
paign organization in the event that the Massachusetts
Democrat announces he will seek the presidency, a
local Kennedy backer said.
"What we're trying to do right now is put together
some kind of strong statewide committee," Rick
Silver, who is heading up the drive, said last week.

Telephone threats made
CHARLESTON ? Minutes after the Rev. Omega
Newman finished a televised speech on crime, his wife
received an anonymous telephone call that he would be
assassinated Wednesday.
Newman, vice president of the Charleston
Ministerial Alliance, said the call came at 6:02 p.m.

committed by blacks on black victims.
He said he reported the threat and two later ones to
the Charleston County Police. He has been threatened
before, he said, but "this one seems a bit more
serious."
Newman attributed the crime largely to "white
racism and black elitism," and he said he couldn't see
anvthing in his speech that merited a death threat.
Coupons big business
COLUMBIA ? Cheryl Pevehouse visited the
neighborhood grocery last week just like most other
folks.
But unlike others, she paid $2.55 cash for $11.95 worth
of groceries ? and mailed in coupons to food companies
that will bring her an additional $9 in cash or
product refunds. Her net showing for the brief shopping
visit: $6.45profit.
For Cheryl Pevehouse, bringing home the bacon ?
and the bananas, shortening, spaghetti sauce and
hamburger ? for nothing has become a consumer's
obsession.
She's part of a select group of shoppers who have
discovered that by diligently clipping newspaper and
magazine coupons, scraping labels off cans, filing box
tops from detergents and cereals, mailing refund offers
to giant food compaies ? and swapping their
"trash" with others ? they can make a lot of money.
"There's enough offers out that if you took advantage
of every one, which would be hard to do, you
could make $8,000 a year plus your free groceries,"
