Coplin Papers
Are Not Used
In Spy Trial
WASHINGTON, June 1—(UP)
Twelve papers found in Judith
Coplon’s purse were not used as
evidence in her spy trial because
their publication might jeopar-
dize "the security of the United
States,” government prosecutors
said today.
Federal Judge Albert L. Ree-
ves sustained the prosecution
in its objection to any question-
ing on the material contained in j
those papers.
The purported existence of the
papers was1 brought out during
cross-examination of G-man T.
Scott Miller who testified that |
he examined the contents of Miss
Coplon’s purse shortly after she
was arrested March-,4 with a
Russian citizen, Valentin A. Cub;

Miller testified that there were
12 items removed from the pur-
se, but not offered in evidence.
The name of a former aide of
one time interior secretary Har-
old L. Ickes was mentioned' ip
th<c trial yesterday. ■/
Named As Contact
The prosecuion introduced an
FBI report at the trial yester-
day naming Ruth Gruber as a
"contact” for one F. A. Garanin
of the soviet embassy here.
"If there’s anything wrong or
subversive about that woman,"
Ickes said, "I’m a hottentot,"
Miss Gruber, now a free-lance
writer, was mentioned in a paper
which the government claims is
one of 22 excerpts of FBI reports
found in Miss Coplon’s purse on
the night of her arrest, March 4.
Ickes told the United Press
he would vouch for Miss Grubers
loyalty. He said she never had ac
cess to any of his private or
official papers, but added, "I
would not have had the slight-
est hesitation to show them to
her.”
Miss Gruber herself denied that
she was ever "a contact for any
foreign embassy."
Other papers admitted into evi-
dence as contents of Miss Cop-
fbn’s purse included a previous-
ly published report of her alleg-
ed attempts to get a top secret
FBI document gnd background
statements on three, potential re-
cruits for Russian,“spying. These
prospective recruits were listed
as Mrs. Lorraine sinderbr.and,
her husband Alvin, a La* student,
and Alfred Boynton Stevenson,

delayed previously by rain.
Construction of the landing
