speculate about prevailing attitudes
and about upcoming moves from the North.
This man's views are worth considering
since he defected for personal reasons
and still retains his Communist outlook.
These are his conclusions:
--The talks can progress only when
the US representative signs a document
admitting and apologizing for intrusion

propaganda means and carry out brain-
washing activities and interrogations.

4. Soviet Union
Only five Soviet surface ships--
down from 15 earlier this month--are now

Russian surface units continue to patrol
the entrance to the Sea of Japan and to
follow the US carriers; air surveillance
is still on an almost daily basis.
