Amtorg Officials
Arrested; Unrcgis
tered Agents
WASHINGTON, </P) — Indict
ment of Russia’s famed Amtorg
Trading Corporation and its top
officers as unregistered foreign
agents appears certain to set off
new tensions between the United
States and the Soviet Union.
The indictment was returned by
a federal grand jury here and an
nounced by Attorney Geenrnl Mc
Grath late Friday. It charged the
corporation and six officers with
failure to register as agents of a
foreign power in accordance with
American law. The maximum
penalty is a $10,000 fine and five
years imprisonment.
Washington officials promptly
began speculating on Soviet re
prisals. The Russian Embassy was
reported to have lodged a formal
protest with the state department
and a Moscow propaganda blast
denouncing the indictment was ex
pected almost immediately.
Shortly after McGrath made his
announcement, five of the Rus
sians were arrested in New York
