Woman Plunges From Russian Insurgents'
Consulate Window
DRAMATIC N.Y. SEQUEL TO

"RESCUE"
Consul Ignores Court Writ
New York, Aug. 12.-Mrs Oksana Kosenkina today plunged from a third floor window of the Russian Consulate a few minutes after listening to a broad- cast of the Soviet Consul-General's refusal to produce her in Court to tell whether she was held prisoner against her will.
She was taken to Roosevelt Hospital, where attendants said she suffered a broken right leg and internal injuries, and was in critical condition. She had landed in the flagstone courtyard behind the Consulate in the fashionable East 61st Street residential district.
The deputy chief of police, Inspector Conrad Rothengast, said he could not determine, after lengthy questioning of Consulate workers, whether Mrs Koraen- kina jumped or fell out. He said he was also investiga- ting the possibility that she might have been pushed.
Workers told Inspector Röthengast that Mrs Koson- kinn was listening to a radio newscast with them at the rear of the third floor of the Consulate. She left the room after an account of her mysterious appearance at the New York haven for anti-Communist Russians, her return to New York by the Consul General (Mr Jacob Lomakin) who said she had been "kidnapped" by White Russians, and Mr. Lomakin's refusal earlier in the day to produce hor in Court.
Police Sergeant Wesley Abramson, who helped clear the crowd so she could be placed in an ambulance, sald Mr Lomakin argued heatedly against removing her to hospital, buf “we persunded him.”

"She never talked of suicide," she said. "I think, rather, it was a des- perate effort to escape."
The police are not permitted to question Mrs Kosenkina until the diagnosis of her injuries has been completed.
Rep. Mundi added that this might be a "splendid opportunity" for the New York Supreme Court Justice, 1 Mr Samuel Dickstein, to serve his habeas corpus writ on her.—United Prean.
