Soviet Trade Union Chief Says Paid Demonstrators Hindered Visit
Alexander Shelepin claimed paid demonstrators aimed to wreck his Britain visit and said efforts to spoil the trip were futile after talks with the Trades Union Congress. He noted a small group of protesters shouted in London and later spoke at Prestwick Airport before returning to Moscow. He alleged some demonstrators were paid twelve dollars each and blamed Zionists for the protests. Len Murray defended inviting the Soviet delegation, saying the invitation was correct and had no regrets. The visit ran March 31 to April 2 as planned.
