HEIDELBERG, West Germany -- (AP) -- A Soviet guard shot and killed an American military officer who was unarmed and on a legitimate mission in East Germany, U.S. officials said Monday. The Soviets claimed he was "caught red-handed" taking pictures in a restricted area.
 

The Soviets said that the guard fired when the American tried to flee and that other soldiers captured his driver, who was at their vehicle nearby. Each government protested to the other.

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Army officer killed by a Soviet guard in East Germany was a member of a cadre of American soldiers who for 38 years have gathered intelligence on the other side of the Iron Curtain.

MOSCOW -- The Soviet Union said Tuesday that a U.S. Army major shot and killed in East Germany was spying on forbidden ground and that the United States is spreading a "deliberately false version" of the incident.
 

The United States says that Maj. Arthur Nicholson Jr. was on a legitimate mission, in an unrestricted area, and that the shooting was tantamount to murder.

WASHINGTON -- The Reagan administration has kept its reaction low-key to the killing of a U.S. Army officer in East Germany while waiting to see whether the Soviet Union changes its view of the incident, officials said Tuesday.
 

"The (Mikhail) Gorbachev regime has been sending signals it wants an improvement in relations," one senior official said. "We're waiting to see if they act that way in this case or continue their unacceptable accusations that it was all our fault."

THE DEATH of Maj. Arthur Nicholson, a member of the U.S. military liaison mission in East Germany, might have been a tragic accident in which a trigger-happy Soviet sentry fired at a U.S. Army officer who was too close to a restricted zone. Yet the circumstances and the worrisome history of Soviet intimidation of American, French and British liaison personnel in East Germany suggest that the incident may not have been accidental at all.

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Army major who was shot to death in East Germany by a Soviet guard had been taking photographs of Soviet military equipment in a shed, probably through an open window, U.S. officials acknowledged Wednesday.
 

But they insisted -- "emphatically," as one put it -- that he was not spying and that his actions were consistent with longtime practices of U.S. and Soviet military liaison teams in Germany.
