Spy Exchange Rumours
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) LONDON, June 16. Reports that the British Government is about to exchange the Soviet spies, Peter and Helen Kroger, for the lecturer imprisoned in Russia, Mr Gerald Brooke, have been deliberately put about by the K.G.8., • the Kremlin’s intelligence service, according to the “Daily Express” writer, Chapman Pincher. In a front-page story, he says that the aim of the K.G.B. is to increase parliamentary and public pressure on the British Government, as it has done before. But the Foreign Secretary (Mr Michael Stewart), who has been dealing direct with the Soviet leaders for months about Mr Brooke’s case, is determined not to be bulldozed by these latest propaganda tactics, Chapman Pincher writes.
