U S Envoy Denies Newsman His Spy Claim
U S Ambassador Walter Bedell Smith calls Soviet charges that American correspondent Robert Magidoff spied for the U S embassy in Moscow false. Magidoff had been ordered out by the Soviet government after accusations by his secretary Cecilia Nelson. Dispatches said Magidoff planned to leave soon. He came to the U S in 1922 after graduating from the University of Wisconsin. His mother is Mrs Jennie Magidoff of New York, and he has served as a correspondent for NBC and World News of McGraw-Hill. Miss Nelson had alleged diplomatic mail data. World News editor Russell F Anderson said charges unfounded and noted censorship impeded assignments. The State Department record shows Nelson worked at the American embassy in 1943-44, with ties to Russia since 1936.
