Wife of Russian Says Alliance Will Bring War
Boston March 21 Miss Anna Louise Strong, recently expelled from Russia on charges, says the North Atlantic pact is a step toward war. In her first speech since returning to the United States she proposed drafting a pact embodying agreements to abandon salamic bombs. She contends Russia deported her because she was a journalist seeking facts and that was espionage to Russians. The 63 year old author and former editor said she would defend the United States if attacked by the Soviet fusion. She appealed to Premier Stalin through the State Department for a review of her deportation.
