Soviet Hand Seen In Deflectors Talk
Washington reports a growing mystery over what two defectors Mitchell and Martin did before fleeing to the Soviet Union. The Kremlin link runs through agents in the United States and Mexico. The note left at a Maryland bank was briefly suppressed, hindering Soviet propaganda plans. Rep. Wayne Hays questioned the two visitors and later said he saw no CIA or NSA credentials. Macomber denied telephoning Hays. The defectors claim Soviet pressure shapes minds to produce documents. They reference an oath to God for Maryland state posts and attack anti‑un-American inquiries and passport laws, asserting atheism is a Soviet tactic and dangerous to U.S. unity.
