NEWS SUMMARY: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1986
Date: 08 September 1986
International The Soviet Union formally filed an espionage charge against an American reporter, Nicholas S. Daniloff, the Government-run televised evening news program reported. Earlier, Mr. Daniloff, the Moscow correspondent for the U.S. News & World Report, had telephoned a colleague on the magazine in Moscow to say he had been taken before an official proceeding and formally notified of the charge. Mr. Daniloff said the formal filing allows the investigation of his case to be prolonged for six months before it goes to trial, or, if a waiver is obtained, up to nine months. [ Page A1, Column 6. ] The filing of the espionage charge was ''a matter of utmost seriousness'' for the United States, the Reagan Administration said in stepping up its warnings to the Soviet Union. Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, said the United States had received ''no official notification'' that the Russians had formally charged Mr. Daniloff. [ A1:5. ]

THE BOLSHEVIKS' PRISONER: NICHOLAS DANILOFF
Date: 09 September 1986
Special to the New York Times
In 1961, when Nicholas S. Daniloff told his father, the son of a czarist general, that he was going to cover the Soviet Union for United Press International, the elder Daniloff retorted: ''You think your American passport is going to save you from the Bolsheviks. You're wrong. They're going to send you to the salt mines.'' That visceral reaction, however, was not shared by Mr. Daniloff's grandmother.

Bernard Weinraub
The Reagan Administration, stepping up its warnings to the Soviet Union, said today that the filing of espionage charges against an American reporter in Moscow was ''a matter of utmost seriousness'' for the United States. Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, said the United States had received ''no official notification'' that the Russians had charged Nicholas S. Daniloff, Moscow correspondent of U.S. News & World Report, with espionage. But Mr. Speakes said Mr. Reagan was ''concerned'' about the case and asserted that the continuing detention of Mr. Daniloff could have ''serious implications'' for United States-Soviet relations. Immediate Release Demanded ''Daniloff is innocent,'' Mr. Speakes said. ''We want his immediate release and we do regard it as very, very serious.'' The White House spokesman declined to specify how United States-Soviet relations would be affected by the reporter's detention and the charges against him.

His companies publish a small newsletter and perform consulting and editorial services for the Government and for private clients.

Hours after an unsuccessful assassination attempt against President Augusto Pinochet was reported, his military Government moved today to expand a state of siege, closing six opposition magazines and arresting a range of opponents. Those reported seized included two prominent Socialist leaders, the head of the Chilean journalists' federation and a suspended priest who the Government says is a guerrilla spokesman. Roman Catholic Church sources said those taken into custody also included three French priests, one of whom, the Rev. Pierre Dubois, has been a prominent figure in the poor community of La Victoria, scene of frequent searches by Government forces. News Agency Bureau Closed Among the magazines closed was Hoy, probably the Chilean magazine best known internationally. It is generally identified politically with the right wing of the Christian Democratic Party, the largest political party in Chile.

The Moscow correspondent for an American magazine, Nicholas S. Daniloff, was charged with espionage today, the Government-run television reported. Earlier, Mr. Daniloff had telephoned a colleague on U.S. News & World Report here to say that he had been taken before an official proceeding and formally notified of the charge. The action, taken as the United States and the Soviet Union were trying to to arrange a summit conference and to achieve movement in arms control negotiations, was viewed with strong concern by the Reagan Administration. #3 Days After Reagan Letter Mr. Daniloff was charged despite the fact that three days ago President Reagan sent a message to Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the Soviet leader, urging the immediate release of the journalist and giving the President's assurances that Mr. Daniloff was not a spy. Mr. Daniloff's colleague on the magazine, Jeffrey Trimble, said that during their telephone conversation Mr. Daniloff did not say who had conducted the official proceeding at Lefortovo Prison in Moscow, where the correspondent is being held.

OFFICIALS SAY SPY CHARGE ALSO SERVES TO WARN REPORTERS ON FRIENDSHIPS
Date: 08 September 1986
By David K. Shipler, Special To the New York Times
David Shipler
Although American officials and experts are convinced that an American correspondent in Moscow has been charged with espionage primarily to apply leverage for obtaining the release of an Russian being held on spying charges in New York, the choice of a journalist as the pawn seemed to these experts to serve a second purpose as well. They said the spying charge against the correspondent, Nicholas S. Daniloff of U.S. News & World Report, sent a message of warning about correspondents who befriend Soviet citizens, a message that has been delivered periodically during the post-Stalin era. At the foundation of this message is the powerful discomfort of Soviet authorities over reporters' relationships with ordinary Russians, who can provide richer portraits of Soviet life than officials ever do. Through the years, the K.G.B. has repeatedly tried to frighten both correspondents and Russians away from these relationships, especially when the correspondents have been fluent in Russian and have acquired many friends, as in the case of Mr. Daniloff, who was charged with spying today.

What Gorbachev Risks
Date: 08 September 1986
A great opportunity is at hand -historic is not too strong a word - to ease relations between the Soviet Union and the United States. But the opportunity may be lost if the Soviet leadership does not quickly correct a gross misstep. That is the detention of Nicholas Daniloff, Moscow correspondent of U.S. News & World Report. The stakes are high in the Daniloff affair. Its resolution will test the seriousness of Mikhail Gorbachev's desire to seek accommodation with the West - or, perhaps, test his ability to make that desire into effective policy.

Special to the New York Times
Following is the text of Article 65 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic under which Nicholas S. Daniloff was accused of espionage. It is taken from the 1972 book ''Soviet Criminal Law and Procedure'' by Harold J. Berman. ''The transfer, or the stealing or collection for purpose of transfer, to a foreign state or foreign organization or its secret service, of information constituting a state or military secret, or the transfer or collection on assignment from a foreign intelligence service of any other information for use to the detriment of the interests of the U.S.S.R., if the espionage is committed by a foreigner or person without citizenship, shall be punished by deprivation of freedom for a term of seven to 15 years with confiscation of property, with or without additional exile for a term of two to five years, or by death with confiscation of property.''
