Aust, named in Bangkok spying attempt
NZPA-AFP Bangkok The Soviet Embassy in Bangkok said yesterday that it had exposed two attempts masterminded by the United States Central Intelligence Agency to subvert Soviet Embassy officials in the Thai capital in co-operation with the secret services of Australia, Japan, and other unnamed countries. The allegations were made at a news conference called by the Soviet Em-
bassy in Bangkok. A Minister Counsellor, Oleg Yershov, said that the Soviet Union had “irrefutable proof” that Ronald Ford, a counsellor at the Australian Embassy in Bangkok, had been working at the behest of the C.I.A. when he approached a Soviet attache, Alexandre Kilim, on Thursday with offers of money and exile in exchange for embassy secrets.
