Soviets continue campaign warning of United States spies
Three Soviet newspapers printed dramatized accounts Sunday of how Americans spy in Moscow. Western diplomats said the articles appeared to be part of a growing campaign to make Soviets wary of foreigners.
The reports in three main dailies came two days after a popular 10-part Soviet television serial about US spies ended with KGB security police pouncing on the American cultural attache, who was expelled for espionage.
Last January, Moscow adopted a law making it a crime punishable by up to eight years in jail to give foreigners any information from a place of work. And a law that went into effect July 1 prohibits Soviets from giving shelter or transportation to foreigners without official permission.
