ALLEGED SOVIET EXPERIMENT
NEW YORK. October 21. A refugee scientist who slipped through the Iron Curtain said today that Russian Communists had used Czechoslovak peasants as human guinea pigs in germ warfare experiments.
The scientist, Dr. Zdenek Moudry, a former adviser to the Czechoslovak Ministry of Public Health, said he personally saw two persons die in 1947 after drinking water from a well that had been deliberately poisoned by the Russians in a mass biological warfare experiment.
Dr. Moudry said that a Russian colonel had ordered human guinea pig experiments in six villages near Prague on the pretext ot stamping out an epidemic.
