SPY REPORTEDLY FLED AFTER SOVIET CALL
Date: 16 September 1985

A summons to return to Moscow for consultation prompted the head of the K.G.B. in Britain to seek asylum in a ''safe house'' in the south of England in July, according to a senior British official. The official said the K.G.B. man, Oleg A. Gordiyevsky, feared that after more than 15 years as a double agent for Britain and the K.G.B., the Soviet intelligence agency, his superiors had learned about his role and that on his return to Moscow he would face interrogation, probably under torture, and inevitably execution. The official compared the Gordiyevsky case to that of Arkady Shevchenko, a senior Russian bureaucrat at the United Nations who says he supplied intelligence to the Central Intelligence Agency for 32 months. Mr. Shevchenko was also called home for consultation, and, suspecting that his espionage had been discovered, defected to the United States. On Thursday, when Mr. Gordiyevsky's defection was announced, the British Government ordered 25 Soviet diplomats, journalists and others to leave the country, saying they had engaged in activities incompatible with their status and jobs - diplomatic parlance for spying. The Soviet Government responded Saturday by ordering 25 British diplomats, businessmen, journalists and others to leave the Soviet Union, accusing them of ''impermissible activity.''
NEW YORK'S FOREIGN-LANGUAGE PRESSMAY LACK A GIANT BUT NOT DIVERSITY

Once a major metropolitan newspaper with a circulation of nearly a quarter of a million, The Jewish Daily Forward is now more a weekly magazine than a newspaper, publishing 25,000 copies. ''Our aim was integration and I suppose we succeeded too well,'' Simon Weber, editor of the Yiddish-language newspaper said the other day, expressing the hope that The Forward would survive to see its 90th anniversary in 1987. According to Mr. Weber, many Yiddish-speaking Jews who came to America in the great migration from Eastern Europe between 1882 and 1924, believed that to acquire American culture, they had to drop their own. He said the later emphasis on the preservation of ethnic cultures ''came too late for The Forward, but maybe it can save the Spanish and Chinese press.'' Today, there are no giants among the foreign-language newspapers in the metropolitan area and most, like The Forward, are struggling against the natural attrition of assimilation.
SAUCY PAPER GAINS STATURE WITH FRENCH

The other day, while much of France seemed caught up in a late-summer traffic jam, an unusually light-hearted word fluttered like a butterfly onto the solemn and dignified headlines of Le Monde. It was ''fuse,'' used metaphorically to refer to the unsubstantiated speculation that Defense Minister Charles Hernu might be asked to resign. ''Fuse in Danger,'' as the headline referring to Mr. Hernu's putative resignation read, might not seem to Americans like a wild departure into uncharted vernacular territory. But in France, where a formal, scholastic language maintains a tight grip on the country's ''serious'' institutions, the knowing semantic wink at the reader, the playful jab in his ribs, were noted as important signs of the season.

When Mr. Gordiyevsky was an attache at the Soviet Consulate and later a high official at the Soviet Embassy here he was a popular member of the diplomatic corps who would dine out with journalists and politicians and joke that he was a member of the K.G.B., according to reporters here. Danes were astonished last week to discover that Mr. Gordiyevsky was indeed a very high member of the K.G.B. and that he had reportedly been working with Danish intelligence agents for much of the time he was posted here. Mr. Gordiyevsky was an attache at the Soviet Consulate here from 1966 to 1970, then spent six years at the Soviet Embassy beginning in 1972. There he rose from second secretary to first secretary, press attache and political-economic adviser to the Ambassador.
PRETORIA ASSAILS PARLEY IN ZAMBIA

South African Government leaders and some nonwhite political groups issued sharp criticism today of a group of the country's white businessmen who met in Zambia on Friday with leaders of the outlawed African National Congress. The Congress, banned since 1960 and operating from exile, is the most prominent of the groups seeking to overthrow white minority rule. The meeting Friday appeared to reflect a profound lack of business confidence in the Africa Government's policies of limited and cautious liberalization. ''I do not know what the businessmen achieved, except to show signs of weakness towards the enemies of South Africa,'' President P. W. Botha was quoted today as saying in Beeld, an Afrikaans newspaper here. ''The Government itself will not talk to any organization or person who promotes violence.''
SECRECY IS SOUGHT IN ANALYSTS TRIAL

The Justice Department has asked a Federal judge to keep secret some of the evidence to be presented at the trial of a Navy analyst who is accused of illegally passing classified photographs to a British publication In a motion that was filed in secret, or under seal, prosecutors asked for permission to remove markings that showed the United States might have shared the photographs with other nations' intelligence services. The prosecution also asked for permission to introduce classified documents or photographs as evidence that would be shown to lawyers, the judge and jury but would not become part of the public record. The Naval analyst, Samuel Loring Morison, is charged with espionage and theft of Government property and is scheduled to go on trial next month in Federal District Court in Baltimore. The case is only the second time the Government has used the esipionage laws to prosecute an official or former official for disclosing classified information to the press.
CARIBBEAN WAR GAMES: NOT EVERYONE IS DELIGHTED

For the last few days several hundred American soldiers with camouflage greasepaint on their faces, and policemen from four small Caribbean islands, dressed up like soldiers, have been struggling through the jungle-covered mountains north of here. It is the first time since the invasion of Grenada nearly two years ago that American combat troops have landed on an independent Caribbean island, the first time since then that they have been operating with island forces. This time there is no crisis. The G.I.'s and the policemen, as well as soldiers from several larger islands, a number of island coast guardsmen and some American and British sailors, are practicing for some future crisis.
THE VELOCITY OF NEWS

In olden times, newspaper copy was edited from a large semicircular table with a wedge, or slot, in which sat the chief copy editor. This ''slot man'' received news copy from the ''backfield,'' and would deal the stories out to his ''rim men,'' much as a dealer would pass out cards in a poker game. With this image in mind, I have long held the fancy that news came to us via some Great Slot Man in the Sky. All the events, discoveries, wars and items of human interest would come to him, and he would figure out who was interested in what, and would distribute the stories to all of us equitably, not overburdening anyone.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1985 International Moscow ordered the expulsions of 25 British diplomats, embassy staff members, correspondents and businessmen in retaliation for Britain's expulsion of 25 Soviet officials last week after the defection of the K.G.B. chief in London. The expelled Britons were matched against Russians whom London told to leave.
