U.N. REPORT ON HUNGARY
Inquiry Into Fate Of Documents
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) NEW ‘ YORK,. July 4.
The United Nations said yesterday it was investigating a charge that the Soviet Union tried to suppress the United Nations report on the Hungarian revolt by persuading a Ceylonese diplomat to pass confidential documents to a Russian who since has left the country. The documents allegedly were taken from the Ceylonese United Nations delegation headquarters. The chief of the Ceylonese delegation was a member of the committee whose report attacked the Soviet for its intervention in the revolt in Hungary last autumn.
No formal charges had been filed against the Ceylonese diplomat involved but an investigation was being conducted because of certain information which had been received.
A report published in an Athens newspaper said the diplomat was paid by Mr Vladimir Arsentevich Grusha to get confidential documents connected with the 150,000-word report.
Mr Grusha was a First Secretary in the Soviet United Nations delegation at the time, the Athens report said.
The United States confirmed that Mr Grusha left the United States last April, but the circumstances of his departure were not made clear. ,
