Arrests in Ukraine?
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) . MOSCOW, July 2. Soviet security police have arrested more than 100 persons this year in a move against suspected nationalist activity in the Ukraine, according to an underground journal which itself has been the target of a security police campaign.
But the typescript journal, called the "Chronicle of Current Events,” and issued every two months despite orders to suppress it, admitted it based the number of persons arrested in the Ukraine on information I which had not been completely checked. The journal, passed from hand to hand among Russians, reports without comment on dissident activities, arrests and trials.
The latest copy, the twenty-fifth, said that a number of Ukrainians wrote to the Supreme Soviet and to the Government newspaper, "Izvestia,” giving a warning against “the suppression of national consciousness” in their native 1 republic.
