Unrest in Soviet Guest Students Drives Diplomatic Fallout
MOSCOW UP I reports say the expulsion of Norris D. Garnett, a Los Angeles Negro diplomat, may backfire as a propaganda issue for the Kremlin. Garnett was declared persona non grata for hostile activities among African students, with Soviet media labeling him a spy while highlighting African student unrest.

Kenyan students and a Ghanaian student death in Baku add to the tensions amid racial pull factors and anti-discrimination complaints at a university dormitory.
