Daniloff had been charged with espionage, a crime that carries a possible death penalty. At the same time, Moscow seemed to send a signal that it wanted a man-to-man swap of Daniloff and Gennady Zakharov, a Soviet U.N. official arrested In New York last month on spying charges. That message was underscored last night by Daniloff when he was allowed to call his home and he reached Gretchen Trimble, the wife of his successor as U.S.

News World Report's Moscow correspondent "I have received an oblique hint that in the end, It (the case) does not have to go to court," Daniloff said, according to correspondent Jeff Trimble's later recounting of the conversation. "Serious phase" After remarking that "my case is moving into a more serious phase," Daniloff said he and Zakharov were in similar situations. "Charges of espionage put me on a par with a case we know about" he told Mrs. Trimble. "The quickest solution would be if the two cases would be looked at on an equal basis.

"The possibility of a resolution is not excluded," he said. When Trimble came home and picked up the telephone during the 18-minute conversation, Daniloff said he was being charged under Article 65 of the Soviet criminal code, Trimble later reported. That article, which deals with espionage, provides for a jail or labor camp sentence of 7 to 15 years, or death.

Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, said the United States had received "no official notification" that the Russians had charged Nicholas S. Daniloff, Moscow correspondent of VS. News World Report, with espionage. But Speakes said President Reagan was "concerned" about the case and asserted that the continuing de tention of Daniloff could have "serious implications" for U.S.-Soviet relations.

"Daniloff is innocent" Speakes said. "We want his immediate release, and we do regard it as very, very serious." The White House spokesman declined to specify how U.S.-Soviet relations would be affected by the reporter's detention and the charges against him. Although Reagan sent a personal message to Mikhail S. Gorbachev on Friday, telling the Soviet leader that Daniloff was not a spy, Speakes clined to say whether Reagan regarded the Soviet action yesterday as a personal affront "The U.S. has regarded this as a See US, Page 4A Terrorist strutted like Rambo By Francis X.
