The Soviet Union demanded release of the two today, contending thry were "unlawfully arrested," and had diplomatic immunity. A State Department spokesman said this country rejected the request with a reply that the immunity of such UN. employes does not extend to activities such as espionage not connected with United Nations activities.

The demand for release of a Russian employe of the United Nations and his wife was presented at the State Department by the ranking Soviet diplomat M. Kornienko, in a 20-minule session with Richard H. Davis, deputy assistant secretary for European affairs. The two, arrested at their Flushing, L.I.. apartment, were Ivan Dmitrievich Egorov, 41, a U.K.

secretarial personnel officer, and his wife, Aleksandra Eogorva, 39. DlPQ Picked up here in the same es- pionage case were another couple named in the complaint as "John and Doe." The FBI said they had been living under the names of innocent Americans who were unaware their identities had been appropriated. There was no immediate report on who the Washington couple 'really are. The Stale Department had no immediate comment on the demand for release of those arrested in New York.
