The elite unit that U.S. Army Mai. Arthur D. Nicholson joined in 1982 has been gathering intelligence in East Germany since the dawn of the cold war under a little-known agreement that enables the Soviets to do likewise in West Germany. It has always been a dangerous game on both sides, described by one former member of the U.S. unit as "a hairy experience." The game turned deadly on Sunday with the fatal shooting of Nicholson by a Soviet soldier standing guard in a small town in East Germany. Those familiar with the U.S. Military Li lison Mission in Potsdam, East Germany, say its work has always involved the element of danger. "We'd go in a 90 miles per hour between 11 at night and I in the morning to try to keep the Russians from seeing w liv.lt wv WVIW Kv'm,6? iiiv iuimivi ivumi member said Monday. "It's a very hairy experience," he said. "There aren't any rules. It's a very dangerous job. It doesn't surprise me that someone was killed.

The 14-mcmbcr team was established in 1947, when the Soviet occupiers of East Germany agreed to let American, British and French observers set up shop in Potsdam in return for similar rights in all three Western zones. Potsdam, for centuries a garrison town, was picked by the Soviets for their Ger man headquarters after World War II and was the site of the 1945 summit meeting in which President Harry Truman and Soviet leader Josef Stalin refined the framework under which Germany has been divided for four decades. The stated purpose of the observer teams was to provide contact between headquarters, help settle legal disputes that arose from the occupation and give all four countries a chancc to show their flags in both Germany*. "I'd say that even from the start the job was 95 percent intelligence and 5 percent waving the flag," said the former team member. ras H Judge n PITTSBIJI against a mai for court late thousc protcs "1 think it South Hills c said Monday ' - ' I charge again* "The aitoi determine wf -?--' -;v s1" will be retrie< ;-:v *-;;/.
