STOCKHOLM DENIAL
(N.ZP.A.Reuter—Copyright)
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 7. The Nobel Foundation has denied European press reports that the diploma and gold medal due to the Russian author, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the 1970 Literature Prize winner, had been delivered to him privately in the Soviet Union. The foundation’s director Dr Nils Slaahle, told reporters that the diploma and medal were still in the foundation’s vaults, but, he said, the cash prize of 400,000 crowns ($68,576) had been paid into a Swiss bank account in Mr Solzhenitsyn’s name last January.
