Red Diplomats Accused Of Espionage
Stockholm, Aug. 5.
Sweden delivered, two protests to the Soviet Union tonight, against surprise attacks
on two unarmed Swedish planes over international waters and Russian spy activities in Sweden.
The first Swedish note answered one from Russia on July 16 which had denied the charges against Soviet flyers. The new Swedish note re- peated the protest against the shootings and de- nied the Soviet counter-charges.
It said Sweden reserved the right to bring the dispute before an international forum "in the form and at a time it finds suitable."
The second protest was a memorandum from the Swedish Premier, Tage Erlander, and charged Russian diplomats with violating both Swedish and Inter-
national law by promoting espionage activities here.
