PELTON CONVICTED OF SELLING SECRETS; U.S. AIDES SAY POLLARD IS GIVING JUSTICE DEPT. FURTHER INFORMATION
The former Navy analyst who admitted spying for Israel has begun providing the Justice Department with information about a number of Israeli espionage operations in the United States, senior Reagan Administration officials said today. They said the spy, Jonathan Jay Pollard, agreed to give evidence about other spying operations as part of a plea bargain in which he acknowledged selling stacks of secret American military documents to Israel. One highly placed Administration official said the amount of Israeli spying in the United States would ''surprise many people as more evidence turns up.'' Shift in Inquiry Focus Speaking on condition that he not be identified, the official said the Justice Department's inquiry had not implicated other Americans. He said the inquiry had focused on Israelis and other foreigners, but he provided no other details.
