Serov’s Reply On Deportations
(Rec. 9 p.m.) LONDON. March 25. The Soviet secret police chief. General Ivan Serov, tonight replied to British newspaper criticism about mass deportation with a counter charge. Britain’s commercial television service broadcast what a commentator said was General Serov’s answer to charges that he had organised the mass deportation of people from the Baltic states in 1940 to remote parts of Russia.
“It was no different from the way your Government handled Sir Oswald Mosley during the war,’’ he was quoted as saying. Mosley, leader of the pre-war fascist movement, was interned, together with other leaders of the party, for the duration of the war.
General Serov, who is in Britain checking security arrangements for next month’s visit of Soviet leader*. Marshal Bulganin and Mr Khrushchev refused to pose for television newsreel cameras.
