6 Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Thursday, March 1, 1962 Espionage an Aged Activity Practiced by All Nations NOTE: exchange of U2 pilot Francis Gary Powers for Soviet spy Rudolf Abel has focused attention on the espionage struggle going on beneath the surface of the cold war.

government printing office for less than $50. A third resemblance of U. S. and Soviet intelligence is that both make full use of modern technology. The U2 reconnaissance plane which Powers was flying over Russia is a good example.

This long-winged jet was designed to fly at altitudes of more than 80,000 feet, and equipped with cameras which could take sharply defined photographs of nist countries. It buys every!

The Russians apparently were aware for a long time that the U2's were but were unable to reach them at that altitude either with rockets or fighter planes. How Powers' plane was disabled is still a mystery.

The Russians say they hit it with a rocket. U. officials believe the jet engine suffered an accidental flame-out. That Russian spies also use ultra-modern techniques was made clear at Col. Abel's trial in 1957.

Posing as a Brooklyn photographer a "Emil R. Goldfus," this highly trained Soviet agent eluded detection for nine years while serving in the biggest Russian spy ring uncovered in the United States. Testimony at his trial showed that he used such devices as hollowed-out coins, cuff-links and to a micro-filmed messages.

How Russia spies on the 1 United States, how the United States -spies on Russia will be covered in more detail in subsequent dispatches. This dispatch will be concerned with some features which their intelligence operations have in common.

First, they are expensive. Official U. S. sources estimate Russia's outlay on espionage and subversive activities at approximately 52 billion a year. The amount of money available to America's principal spy outfit the Centra! Intelligence Agency (CIA) -is a secret which is carefully guarded by distributing CIA funds throughout the- federal budget under various innocuous headings.

But congressional sources say the C1A gets upward of S400 million a year and some guesses run as high as SI billion. A second common denominator of U. S. and Soviet intelligence systems is the heavy reliance that both place on simply gathering up information which is publicly avail-1 able.
