Lomakin Ordered Out of U S for Abusing Rights
In a high level diplomatic move the United States stripped Soviet consul Jacob Lomakin of his authority in New York and ordered him to leave the country for abuse of his position and gross violations of official conduct. The action follows charges by Soviet officials against three Russian teachers who sought sanctuary in the United States, which Washington calls lies. The note marks the heaviest U S diplomatic strike against Soviet Russia since 1933 and the first recall demand of a top Soviet official. Lomakin must depart within a reasonable time as Truman revokes his consul general status.
