The decision whether to transfer Roman Polanski to the United States, is very soon to be divulged, the Swiss officials said this weekend.

Folco Galli, the Justice Ministry Spokesman said that the decision will soon be made, but refused to give any further details. In 1977, after being under arrest in California, Mr. Polanski, had pleaded culpable to having illegitimate sex with a minor, but he then, fled to the United States in 1978, before being sentenced.

He was then arrested in Switzerland on Sept. 26 and has been under house arrest, since then.

According to a report in a Swiss newspaper, Swiss officials are nearing a pronouncement whether to extradite Roman Polanski to the U. S. to countenance prosecution in a 1977 sex case.

An appeal by Polanski to end the case was denied by the court in April. Polanski's attorneys have been requesting for the director to be sentenced to time served.

The court's decision is being waited upon by the Swiss officials, before they finally decide on the extradition of the `Rosemary's Baby' director. He is under house arrest in a lavish resort of Gstaad.

Polanski was charged in 1977 of harassing a 13-year-old with champagne and part of a Quaalude pill, then raping her at Jack Nicholson's house.

Including sodomy, child molesting and rape by use of drugs, Polanski was indicted with six felony counts. He later pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful sexual intercourse.

He was arrested last September, as he came to collect a lifetime achievement reward at a Zurich film festival.
