Attorney Michael Stuhff, who
presents one of the accused
trines, said, "Fraternization was so
mmon that there weren't any
ijor efforts to hide it."
Stuhff accused State Department
personnel of "continuously Ignoring,
blowing off or denigrating Marines,
sometimes In front of Soviet nation-
als," whenever they attempted to
report security problems at the
embassy.
Stuhff said the Marines were
"encouraged to use prostitutes," and
when Marines were caught with
Soviet women, as one of the espio-
nage suspects was, there was no
quick action by embassy personnel.
A Pentagon official said the Naval
Intelligence Service had formed a
task force of 70 agents to probe the
conduct of Marines and others sta-
tioned in Soviet-bloc countries. In
what it said had become a worldwide
Investigation of embassy guards.
Marine Sgt. Clayton Lonetree and
Cpl. Arnold Bracy are being held at
the Quantico Marine Base in Virginia
charged with allowing Soviet agents
Into the embassy. A third Moscow
guard, Staff Sgt. Robert S. Stuffie-
beam, was transferred to Quantico
on Friday, accused of having rela-
tionships with Soviet women and
failing to report them.
Marine Corps officials defended
the guard program. Col. C.J. Del -
Grosso, head of the 1,300-man guard
force, rejected a suggestion that the
corps was seeking loners" for the
-duty, which he had described as bor-
ing and often lonely.
"We state up front that the Don
Juan type of Marine is a liability," he
said.
Both he and Maj. Gen. Carl Mun-
dy, director of Marine Corps opera-
tions, Insisted that the young, single
Marines assigned to Moscow could
have found plenty of women to date
from non-Soviet-bloc countries It
they tried.
