              SUBJECT            : Cuestions Concerning Defectors
                                   Joseph J. DUTKANICZ  (201-289236) and
                                   Vladimir O. SLOBODA  (201-287527)

                  1.  DUTKANICZ's   Army assignment at time of defection.

                        USAEUR   Case Summary  2-62-2 (copy attached) confirms
             DtJTKANXCZ's assignment to the 32nd Signal Battallon in Darmstadt.
             However, his wife Indicated that he had CIC connections. In an interview
             at the American Embassy Moscow on 5 December  1961 (cited in DBA-288,
             24 January 1962), she Indicated that their trip behind the Iron Curtain had
             been made possible because her husband worked for the CIC and was allowed
             to do things the ordinary 'GI' could not do. There are also penciled ao.
             tations in the 201 file suggestng that his Army assignment may have included
             intellgence functions of some kind.

                 2.  Previous KGB connection of both defectors.

                      Per  USAREUR  Case Summary  2-62-2, DUTKANICZ   himself
            told American Embassy officials in , oscow that he had been approached by
            KGB representatives in a bar near Darmstadt in 1958 and had accepted
            recruitment as a result of their threats and inducements. He claimed to
            have given them minimum cooperation from then until his defection, although
            the Army considered it probable that he had done more than he admitted. A
            further indication of his KGB involvement before defection is the fact that the
            special decree granting him Soviet citizenship ws enacted three months before
            his arrival in the USSR; see Emb tel 851.                                 r-
