Russians Return U S Protest Over Forrestal Cartoon
Moscow rejected a U S protest note about a Krokodil cartoon mocking James Forrestal death and returned the note saying it was unworthy. The exchange followed a June 17 American note calling the image most shocking and in indecent taste as Forrestal, a Navy and Defense secretary, is depicted in a straitjacket death leap. Western sources note Krokodil’s tone mellowed this week with only two anti American cartoons.
