Russian Diplomat Reported Giving Jap Spy Ring Data By ROBERT PROSSER TOKYO trustworthy American military source said today Russian diplomat spy reported missing last is revealing secrets of a Red spy ring in Japan to U. S. intelligence agents on Okinawa.

The source, who cannot be identified, said inside secrets from the "highly -efficient agent" are helping crack the spy ring. The diplomat, Yuri Alexandra- vich Rastovorov, apparently fled in terror from the defunct Russian mission in Tokyo, the source said, helping "set up a spy network that has already penetrated some of the highest levels of the Japanese government." "Rastovorov left out of fear for his life," the source "The claim of the Russian mission that he was kidnaped by the Americans is ridiculous." Rastovorov disappeared Jan. 24. The American source said he fled after being ordered back to Moscow because he apparently was found "softening" toward Americans. The source said a Russian intelligence agent accompanying a Russian ice-skating team here in January brought orders for Has- tovorov to return home.

The American source said Ras- tovorov is believed to be a lieutenant colonel in the MVD (secret police). Such a rank would make him a key figure in a spy ring here. There bus been no official American comment on the case here or in Washington, other than denials that Rastovorov's whereabouts are known.

The source said Rastovorov has been under close American surveillance more than year. 'He was not being recalled because of any bungle," the informant said. "He was a highly efficient agent." Winning Rastovorov away from the Soviets could be one of the greatest American Army intelligence exploits since the end of World War II. A man of bis rank would probably be able to name every important Communist spy in Japan and also provide clues for the missing leaders of the Japanese Communist party, who went underground about four years ago. The American source said Ras- tovorov's pending defection probably was no surprise to the Americans officials.

American sources know intimate details of Rastovorov's background. The former Red agent born near the northeastern boundary of the Ukraine. Ukrainia for centuries had a strong anti-Russian independence movement that has survived more han 30 years' of Red rule. During Jie last war, many Ukrainians welcomed the German invaders and en fought in German ranks. Military sources said Rastovorov 35 years one year after the Russian is 5 feet 10.

He weighs 173 pounds, and has typical Slav blonde hair and blue-gray eyes. He was popular at the swank Tokyo Tennis Club, frequented by nfluential American and Japanese figures. Rev. 0. H.
