Hi-tech spies’
No. 1 target

joan Ramsay
OTTAWA (CP) — Mien technology, both military and_|
civilian, appears to have become a priority target in ee
world of Soviet and western gi
taking stern counter-measures.
In an apparent rapid-fire assault on clandestine
ions, western gi have expelled at least
80 Soviet citizens, most diplomats, since last December,
including two from Canada on Sept. 12, Many of those had
been accused of trying to steal advanced technology.
Solicitor General Robert Kaplan says Canada and
several allies are studying ways to protect their high
technology from the “very significant” increase in
espio:

he fact is that I don't think that one could say that

has significantly on the .
part of the KGB and related hostile intelligence agencies
that are present in Canada,” Kaplan said in an interview
this week.

“But there’s been a very significant increase in the
area of high and the is that
Canada and friendly nations with whom we share high
technology have made it a priority to withhold this
material from the other side.”

As part of a long-term concern about the problem,
NATO officials are studying the protection and transfer,
of western technology, both civilian and military.

EXPORTS CUT OFF

Soviet spies are alleged by western experts to have
launched the high-tech hunt after U.S. President Reagan,
saying Moscow was responsible for repression in Poland,

on Dee. 29, 1981.

1982, western high-tech sales to the Eastern
continue to exclude equipment that would contribute
significantly to Soviet military potential.

“U.S. technology, whether it’s military or purely
industrial, is spy target No. 1 for foreign intelligence
operations,” William Webster, Director of the U.S.
Federal Bureau of Investigation, said recently.

“I don’t think there’s been another time in our history’
when our country has been under such a sophisticated
assault.”

Authoritative sources have been quoted as saying
they believe as many as 40 percent of the Soviet
diplomats and trade mission officials in the West work
secretly for the KGB, the Soviet Secret Police, or its
military counterpart, the GRU. ~

An external Affairs De| ent official in Ottawa.
said there are 63 staff members at the Soviet Embassy in
Ottawa and the I general in In
addition, there are about 50 long-term visitors, such as
trade representatives and academics. no figures are
available for short-term visitors. .

PLANES ARE TARGET

Western European intelligence sources have said _
that main espionage targets there in early 1983 were
high-tech hardware and the secrets of the West's most
sophisticated supersonic strike planes, the general
dynamics F-16 Falcon and the Panavia Tornado. 3

In May, West German and British Intelligence
agents uncovered an attempt by Soviet agents to obtain
secrets of the Panavia Tornado fighter plane. - 3

Britain, West Germany and Italy are building 809
Tornados, worth $22.5° million each, to Become. the
backbone of western air defences.

Canada is not immune to such attempts. On Sept. 12,
two Soviet diplomats in Montreal were expelled from
Canada for trying to ‘steal top-secret advanced

WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Reagan accused
> the Soviet Union Tuesday of
stalling on’ negotiations to
curb the number of medium-
range nuclear missiles in
Europe and said the NATO
allies will deploy new U.S.
weapons this year if the
Geneva arms talks remain at

an impasse.

“So far the Soviet Union
has not been willing to nego-
tiate a fair. and verifiable
arms reduction agreement
with us,” Reagan said at a
White House ceremony wel-
coming West German Presi-
dent Karl Carstens.
there be no mistake: -
agreement will be far Tae
for all

Reagan said that West

ship “is vital to the security

and freedom of both our Peo-
ples.”

Deployment of New U.S.
medium-range nuclear mis-
siles is a controversial issue
in West Germany. ,and
throughout Europe. In the
absence of ‘an agreement
with the Soviet Union, the
United States plans to begin
deploying 108: Pershing 2
missiles and 464 cruise mis-
siles, beginning in December,
in West Germany, Italy, Bel-

gium, the Netherlands and -
Britain.

“But if the Soviet intran-
