THE MANION FORUM By MARILYN M WION A FAIR TRADE? “The majority of the per sonnel in Soviet embassies a- broad are KGB and GRU (secret police) employees . . . In most cases it can be stated without error that 60 percent of the embassy personnel are serving officers in intelli gence . . . We do not even have diplomats, as the West under stands the term. We do all kinds or work except diplo matic. M “The West builds or conducts costly scientific research work in some scientific or technical field while the Soviets just sit and wait and collect informa tion on this work.” The above words are those of a defected Soviet intellig ence officer (Col. Oleg Penko- vskiy) who is now dead. They are words of warning and they are plain as day. But a lot of people in Wash ington have decided not to lis ten to warnings. The Adminis tration is pushing the Consular Convention between the U. S. and the U. S. S. R. Some pro ponents of the Convention even admit that it might increase Russian espionage here—but they want to ratify the Con vention anyway. One such is Senator Mike Mansfield, who casually brushed aside the dan gers by saying that it is im possible for a nation to pro tect itself from espionage. What is the Consular Con vention, why is it dangerous, and why do the liberals want it ratified? It is an agreement reached between the U. S. and the U. S. S. R. tu establish consulates in one another’s countries. As of now, U.S.S.R. consulates exist in this hemis phere. The treaty must be rat ified by the United States Sen ate before it takes effect. The Administration, which favors increased trade with Communist countries, wants the treaty ratified because it will help trade. Proponents of the Convention also emphasize that Americans who travel in Russia would have a better chance of returning home alive, should they get into trouble there.

C., Thursday, March 23, 1967—Page , Miss Phillips is married to Roy Ivester Miss Pamelia Virginia Phil lips and Mr. Roy Terry Ives ter were united in marriage Saturday March 18 at 4:30 p.m. Rev. J. Anderson Bass, Jr„ officiated at the impressive double ring ceremony, held in First Baptist church. Prior to the vows, nuptial music was rendered by Mrs. J. Anderson Bass, Jr., organist and by James Clark and Mrs. Albert J. Zidlick, Jr., soloists. Mr. Clark sang “I Love You Truly.” Mrs. Zidlick sang “Wedding Prayer.” Ushers were Richard Ivester and William Alan Ivester, bro thers of the groom, of Green ville; Thomas Kent Langley, Clemson; Albert J. Zidlick, Jr., Norfolk, Va. and Mickey Lee Werts. Roy William Ivester was his son’s best man. should this treaty be ratified are overwhelming. But, as Dr. Lev. E. Dobrainsky of the Cap tive Nations Committee says, there is more to it than mere spying: “The problem entails more than just espionage. It can best be described as one of intensified political warfare, signs of which have already appeared in civil rights riots, campus agitation, peace dem onstrations, overt U.S.S.R. em bassy propaganda on the Watts riot . . . “ Strategically situated con sulates would not only be ad ditional spy nests but also ac tive sources of conspiracy, propaganda, blackmail and in timidation against those with relatives in the Red empire.” The Soviets who would be scattered across our country would, under the treaty, pos sess diplomatic immunity from criminal as well as civil juris diction. Since ours is an “open” society and Russia’s is not, it is doubtful that our personnel would receive the same treat ment in the U.S.S.R. All we seem to be offered in return for our invitation to espionage is good treatment for the 12,- 000 Americans a year who de cide they must visit the Sov iet Union. It hardly seems fair trade.
