SENSATIONAL
DISCLOSURE
Revealing Secrets Of Spy Ring
Tokyo, Feb. 2.
A Soviet diplomat has surrendered to a top- secret US intelligence agency and is voluntarily disclosing the operation of a Russian spy ring in the Far East, an authoritative source said today. Rastovorov, second secretary of the outlawed Soviet diplomatic mission in Japan, disappeared on Jan. 24, only a few hours before he was to fly back to Moscow. Two days later the Soviet mission asked Tokyo police to search for him.
The chief of the Russian mission, F. J. Runov, ac- cused the United States yesterday of kidnapping Rastovorov "with the aim of provocation of the Soviet Union."

Bunov told a press conference he believed Rastoveroy was "taken by the American espionage or- ganisation in Japan" and "detained by them."

Berlin, Feb. 1.
The Soviet Foreign Minister, Mr Vyacheslav Molotov, today dropped all pretence of friendliness to the West and delivered the fiercest attack yet heard at the present Big Four conference.
In a scathing attack, which lasted two hours, Mr Molotov singled out the United States as the chief recipient of Soviet venom and directed fierce criticiam towards the establishment of American bases in Europe, and the United States foreign aid programme.
The Soviet Foreign Minister also reiterated his bitter opposition to the proposed European defence community and, in an obvious effort to forestall the realisation of the community, proposed a "peace conference" meeting in Octo- ber this year attended by representatives of all countries which fought against Germany.
