At the time of his retirement, Chin worked in the Foreign Broadcast Information Serv ice at the ClA’s heaquarters in Lang ley, Va., where foreign government radio services are monitored and transcribed.

Justice Department sources said ,Chin worked for the U.S. government in various capacities since the early 1940 s and had worked for CIA for at least 11 years. Chin also did work for the agency as a translator, and had been employed at the U.S. embassy in China in the early early 19405, the sources said.

The Foreign Ministry statement was the first time Israel has conceded that it might be linked in some way to the Jonathan J. Pollard case, al though high-ranking officials said the government had not been involved. Previously, government officials have denied any knowledge or involvement with Pollard, a civilian U.S. Navy analyst arrested Friday and accused of selling classified military documents to Israel and Pakistan for $50,000 in the past two years. High-ranking officials stressed Sunday that if Israel was involved, the government knew nothing about it. “The orders didn’t come from Jerusalem,” said one official, speaking on condition of anonymity. “We are checking whether it was a local intitiative ... We are checking how something like that could have happened without our knowledge.” Said a second senior official: “What is clear A Justice Department source said it was believed Chin was paid a substantial amount of money by the Chinese over that period. If convicted of espionage, Chin today is that the political echelons knew nothing about this incident.” The ministry statement said Israel’s policy “is to refrain from any intelligence activity in the United States” because of the traditionally close ties between the two countries. “A thorough examination is being undertaken to determine whether there has been a deviation of any kind from this policy. Should such a deviation be found to have occurred, the necessary conclu sions will be drawn,” said the statement, using a phrase indicating severe punishment. Prime Minister Shimon Peres received a pre liminary report on the investigation earlier Sun day and consulted with his top Cabinet ministers. “Actions of this kind against the. United States stand in total contradiction to the policy of the Israeli government,” said the statement, which was coordinated between Peres and Foreign Min ister Yitzhak Shamir. An Israeli official, who insisted upon anonymity, said he expected “heads to roll” if an unauthorized intelligence operation was conducted in the United States. Secretary of State George Shultz, said in a meeting Friday with visiting Cabinet member Moshe Arens that he was shocked by the case, which violates a gentleman’s agreement between 3-item or Offer good at both locations.

He was ref erring to retired Navy communica tions specialist John A. Walker Jr., who pleaded guilty late last month to running a spy ring for the Soviet Union in the U.S. Navy for 18 years a ring that included his son, his broth er, and allegedly a friend, Pollard’s arrest, ironically, came on the same day the Pentagon un veiled a study commission’s report recommending more than 60 changes zza 7T i »le wheat dough available w w ® Special On For Size...

The Oakland Tribune in a copyright story published in Saturday editions reported that Pollard boasted to col lege friends at Stanford University 10 years ago that he was an Israeli intelligence agent. In October, the FBI issued a war rant for another former CIA officer, Edward Lee Howard, accused of con spiring to deliver defense informa tion. Israel and the United States not to spy on each other. In wording apparently aimed at soothing anger in the Reagan administration, the Foreign Min istry statement said Israeli policy forbade spying against the United States “because of the close relations and the special and traditional friendship between the two countries.” Some Israeli officials suggested that Israel’s intelligence agency may have hired an agent in the United States without Cabinet-level approval. Espionage against the Americans “would be a breach of trust,” said Isser Harel, who created Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency. “The United States is the only major power that supports us, all the way up the line from defense to the president,” Harel said in a radio interview. In a 1981 accord, the two nations agreed to share intelligence. They have had an informal agreement since the 1950 s not to spy on each other. But Israel is known to have conducted covert operations in the United States. Last May a California businessman, Richard Smyth, was indicted on charges of illegally export ing 800 krytons to Israel since 1980. Krytons are electronic switches used for lasers and to ignite explosions. They could be used to detonate a nuclear bomb.
