(Original Caption) Leonid M. Zamyatin, member of the Russian Delegation to the United Nations, is shown during an interview with reporters today at which he said the departure of the five Soviet seamen who had defected to the West and then suddenly decided to go home, was arranged by the head of the Soviet Consulate in Washington who came to New York to plan for their return. Zamyatin denied the charge that Chief U.N. Delegate Arkady A. Sobolev and two aides were involved in the return of the sailors and insisted the seamen had departed "of their own free will." The Senate Internal Security Subcommittee charged that the five seamen were kidnapped and forcibly put aboard a Moscow bound plane in New York with the connivance of Sobolev and two aides. The aides, Aleksander Guryanov and Nikolai Turkin were declared "Persona Non Grata" in a stiff protest note handed to Georgi Zarubin
