The World : British, Soviet Aides Ousted

Britain and the Soviet Union each expelled three of the other nation’s diplomats. The British Foreign Office said Moscow expelled three British Embassy staff members, including the naval attache, and Britain quickly responded by ousting three Soviet diplomats. Moscow took its action after London expelled two Russians last week for spying. Britain said the three additional expulsions are also related to espionage activities. The latest ousters bring to 15 the number of Soviet diplomats ordered out of Britain on charges of spying in the last four years.
