Unbelievable twist in Powers Abel U-2 swap
Washington buzzes over a phase of the Powers Abel exchange that seemed almost unbelievable. James B. Donovan met Soviet officials in East Berlin the night before the walk. Russians welcomed him with lavish fare, smiles, and iced champagne, a contrast to expectations. Abel’s true identity and high rank in the Soviet armed forces are suspected. Congressmen praise the swap for freeing an American, yet officials suspect the Russians got the better end. Donovan’s CIA interrogation of Abel has concluded, prompting calls for the full story from lawmakers.
