New York Police lo Determine Authenticity Of letters Attributed to Mrs Kasenkina WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (IP) -Photographs of two letters Moscow said were written by Mrs.

Oksana S. Kasenkina are being turned over to New York police i whether they are genuine. The State department. announced the action today, without stating there is any official suspicion that they were not written by the refugee Russian school teacher. But Press Officer Michael J.

McDcrmott noted: to reporters that "their authenticity has not been confirmed." Other officials made plain they expected the New York police, will check personally with Mrs. Kasenkina in the hospital where she is recovering frors her leap to freedom from the Soviet consulate. The two letters represent almost the only unexplored angle of the affair of the Russian school teachers who missed the boat which was to have' returned them to their homeland. THE STATE department asked Russia for copies in last week's note that the Soviet consul general in New York, Jacob M. i Lomakin, must leave the U.

S. Moscow unexpectedly complied with the letter request in responding with an order to close down the Spviet consulates in New York and San Francisco and serving notice the U. S. consulate in Vladivostok likewise must close. The letters may hold the key to Mrs.

Kasenkina's actual frame of mind when she was at the Reed farm, an anti-Soviet colony in New York, and later when she leaped from the consulate. Lomakin declared he "rescued" her from White Russian "kidnapers." Kasenkina has said she Lomakin once from the farm. The other was the note, she left in her room when she leaped from th'e consulate window two weeks ego. She told reporters yesterday in her first interview that the first letter made clear she wanted break with the Soviet regime and that she leaped to get out of makin's custody. Officials assume the New York police eventually will make the letters public as a part, of then- investigation of the case of Mrs.

Kasenkina and her fellow teachers Mr. and Mrs. Mikhail Samarin. MAKING LIGHT of the closing of the Vladivostock consulate, Me- Dermott, told the news conference that the State department often" had thoughj of closing it because "it was of no value whatsoever." The TT. he said, objected repeatedly to the restrictions placed by Soviet authorities on the consulate staff and around all Americans in Russia.

"We have always sought for our people in Russia same freedom of movement which the Soviet citizens enjoy in this country," he said. "Our people do very little traveling outside of Moscow. Usually they go just about as far as automobile gas tank will take them." "VOICE OP. AM I beamed to Russia today a recording of the interview with "Mrs. Kasen- kina.

The. State department said the recording was made during the press interview contains the voice of Mrs. Kasenkina answering questions in Russian to inquiries by reporters.
