MOSCOW (UPD-The Soviet
Union admitted today its agents
searched three U.S. military at-
taches and a British colleague
in a Siberian hotel raid But it
said it acted because the men
were spying while traveling on
the trans-Siberian railroad.
i A Soviet Foreign Ministry
note rejected U.S. and British
protests against the forcible
nighttime search of the at-
taches in their hotel rooms in
Jhabarovsk last month.
A strong Soviet counter-
protest charged the Allied dip-
lomats engaged in espionage. It
warned they may be declared
persona non grata and be ex-
pelled from the Soviet Union.
The four U.S. and British at-
taches are now in Tokyo.

Ulbricht announced it in a
speech at an East Berlin cere-
mony attended by Soviet First
Deputy Premier Leonid Brezh-

Ulbricht said the amnesty
would cover, among others,
"former Western agents." This
is a term used by the Commu- (
nists for a wide range of anti-
Communist activity.
| There are believed to be be-
tween 10,000 and 12,000 political
prisoners in East German pris-
ons, or more than 25 per cent
of all East German prisoners.
Ulbricht said the amnesty
would be carried out by Dec.
20. But informed sources said it
already is underway.
The sources said that about
1,200 political prisoners have
been released since July 31 in
a secrecy-shrouded act.
