House Group Warns of Kremlin Action in Near East
A U S foreign affairs subcommittee reported Wednesday that the Soviet Union likely plans invasion in the Near East when Moscow deems favorable. It warned Russia would exploit crises or threats to infiltrate militarily, with invasion possible even without pretext to advance a world communist state.
