Soviet Union Expels American Accused of Being CIA Agent
Soviet officials expelled Nicholas H. Riegg, 24, of Walnut Creek California after accusing him of subversion and CIA related activities during a Ukraine motor trip. The Trud newspaper claimed he distributed propaganda and sought information for the CIA while embassy officials noted he was detained overnight and left the country after signing a confession. The case coincided with a separate effort to secure release for Thomas Dawson, a 24 year old Annapolis native and Peace Corps volunteer jailed near the Soviet Iranian frontier.
