Westport Diplomat Relates Expulsion From Russia
John A. Baker Jr. of Clinton Avenue, a U.S. State Department diplomat expelled from the Soviet Union on April 27, told a Rotary Club luncheon in Townly restaurant that the Russian people seek peace and better lives. He recounted being labeled persona non grata, followed by Soviet police and travel limits as he studied in Moscow and learned Russian. Baker, vacationing in London in April, said the incident stemmed from being deemed too friendly with locals, and he noted Russians desire homes, clothing, and improved living conditions after years of deprivation.
