# KGB is said to think CIA has sub codes, missiles and leaked story Washington (KNI) - Soviet intelligence agents privately are using the CIA's effort to recover a sunken Soviet submarine from the Pacific Littler summer was a complete success. There have been conflicting reports from sources here over just how much of the disreplowered "Goli"-class submarine was puiled from 17,000 feet of water about 700 miles north of Hawaii. Most reports say the Howard Huches-developed salvage vessel, Glimar Explorer, housed only a third of the sub but missed the important code room and the nuclear-upped misses. Mr. Hughes is the billionaire resuer. The Russians, who have not made any public comment about the CIA effort, privately have been very concerned about the new defense capacity the United States has developed, it was said. A high official of the KCR the Soviet intelligence agency told a regular contact recently that reports that the bodies of 70 Soviet seamen—most of the crew—had been brought upon only a third of the sub are not believable. He said he is convinced the entire sub was raised. The Russians also were said to believe the CIA deliberately trained rows of the salvage mission to take the images of the American public of the agency's likeness image at home The CIA is being probed by two congressional committees and a special presidential commission. They are choosing allegances the CIA, barred by its charter from domestic sniping. Strike into the homes of Americans in the U.S. as well as wrist-tapped phones and opened mail. CIA officials insist they did not leak word of the salvage mission. On the contrary, they say, William E. Colovis, the director of central intelligence, tried to stop newspapers that already had the story from printing it. ## Probe official backs Warren Commission Washington (NYT) -The Skeeteriller Commission investigating the Central Intelligence Agency has received "no credible evidence" that the NLA. had any involvement in the assassination of President Kennedy or that Lee Harvey Kennedy or that Lee Harvey Kennedy was not, as the Warren Commission found, the lone assassin, the panel's executive director said yesterday. The assertion by David W. Delin was a departure from the commission's policy of not commending on its investiga- Mr. Betin soiq he had chosen to speak out because of a comment by President Ford in San Diego Thursday and several press reports that might lead to speculation that there was substantive new evidence of C.I.A. involvement or a conspiracy plot in the murder of Kennedy Nov. 22, 1953. Mr. Belin said the commission, under its charter from President Ford, had an obligation to investigate every allegation of illegal domestic activity by the C.I.A. and that an allegation that the agency was involved in Kennedy's death was clearly in that area. It was in this regard that the commission took evidence from a group headed by Dick Gregory, the comedian, regarding an assertion that E. Howard Hunt, Jr., figure in the Watergate case, had been seized near the Kennedy assassination site within minutes of the shooting in Dallas. Mr. Gregory submitted to the commission photos suggest to snow that Hunt and Frank Sturgis, another figure in the Watergate case, were picked up by Dallas police and jailed. Hunt denied the allegation in courtday before the commission. Mr. Belin declined to catalog all the evidence regarding Mr. Gregory's allegations but said that the commission would continue to accept any evidence that might be brought forth. He said, however, that nothing so far had weakened the Warren Commission conclusions. At His press conference Thursovav, Mr. Ford, who was a member of the Warren Commission as a congressman, said that he had seen no evidence that would contradict the Warren report, although he went on to note that the Rockefeller Commission was investigating it. ## Broker sues CIA for $10 million Miami (AP) - A former Miami mortgage broker, who claims the Central Intelligence Agency was behind his selling of counterfeit mortgages, sued the agency yesterday for $10 million. The suit, filed in federal court here, also names the federal government and Cuban exiles Guillermo Iglosas and Antonio Yelgas as defendants. The whereabouts of the two men, reported to have CLA connections, is unknown. In the suit, broker Andres Castro blamed the CIA for the failure of his mortgage business, for causing threats and personal danger to him, and for alleged burglaination and indicte. Mr. Castro claimed the two men persuaded him in 1973 to let them use his company as a front to raise money for cover CIA activities. The CIA deceived comment on the suit. Mr. Belin, who served as counsel to the Warren Commission, later wrote a book, entitled "You Are The Jurv," which detailed how the commission had reached its conclusion. He said that after he completes his present assignment on the Rockefeller Commission, he hopes to be able to discuss the Kennedy assassination allegations more fully.
