CHARGE AGAINST U.S. ATTACHE AT MOSCOW EMBASSY
(Recd. 11 a.m.) LONDON, Aug. 15. The United States Embassy in Moscow confirmed that Lieutenant Robert Dreher was sent home in April.
The Associated Press correspondent says that a Soviet security agent trapped Lieutenant Dreher receiving information from a Russian working for American naval intelligence. Some documents were recovered after the agent had struggled with Lieutenant Dreher. The Moscow radio, quoted by Reuter, said that Lieutenant Robert Dreher, assistant United States military and naval attache in Moscow, was “involved in espionage activities, and had been recalled by his Government at the Soviet Foreign Ministry’s request.” The radio alleged that Lieutenant Dryer had confessed to receiving secret information, and quoted an alleged statement by the United States Embassy in Moscow, admitting that Lieutenant Dreher had been engaged in espionage.
