Pickets at embassy
<N.Z Press Association)
WELLINGTON, Feb. 17.
Twenty members of the Wellington Young Socialist Party picketed the Russian Embassy in Wellington on Saturday in protest against the exile of the Russian author, Alexander Solzhenitsyn. The embassy admitted Mr P. Rotherman, the co-ordin-ator of the group, and another member, Mr G. Fvson.
"We said we were Socialists, but were opposed to the Russian action in expelling Solzhenitsyn,” Mr Rotherman said.
“He said we didn’t know all the facts, and that the capitalist press had distorted the story.”
