HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Charged with alleged espionage, a University graduate student was ordered out of the Soviet Union last month. Edwin B. Morrell, who had been attending Moscow University, was charged with "attempts to penetrate into trade union organizations of the munitions industry to fulfill the task of intelligence service."
Harvard officials would not comment on the charges, published by the Russian labor newspaper Trud.
Trud claimed that Morrell had been expelled two years previously from Czechoslovakia, "for subversive activities and espionage." While in Moscow, he supposedly "laughed at our life in an insulting manner and incited foreign tourists against Soviet youth and our country."
