On Charges Of
Abusing Rights
Fresh Russian Blast At
U. S., Some Retaliatory
Measures are Expected
WASHINGTON. Aug. 21 (OP))
Soviet Consul General Jacob
M. Lomakin is expected by offici
als here to comply next Saturday
with this country's expulsion
order against him.
Reports from Stockholm and
New York offices ot the Swedish
American line are that a reserva
tion had been made in the Liner
Stockholm leaving next Saturday
in the name of the Soviet offici
al and his wife and child.
In New York. Vice Consul
Cherpunykh said he had under
stood two months ago that Loma
kin would go home about this
time. Such prompt news ot the
reservations indicated that they
had been made before the State
Department Issued its expulsion
order yesterday and . possibly
even before the affair of the re
fugee school teachers arose.
It remained to be seen what
official action the Soviet Govern
ment would take directly as a
result ot the State Department'i
note rejecting all Russian
charges against American con
duct in connection with the school
teachers and announcing that
Lomakin's credentials were be
ing cancelled
Fresh Blast Expected
Faced with formal U. S.
charges that Lomakin "abused"
his official position by his role
in the Kasenkina case, the Soviets
have no choice but to remove him
from his New York post.
But they may accompany the
action with a fresh blast against
the American stand in the re
fugee teacher dispute.
Speculation In official quarters
also takes into consideration two
other possible Russian moves:
1. The Soviets may take some
retaliatory measure as they
usually do In such Instances by
accusing an American official In
the Soviet Union of improper
conduct and ordering him out of
tnai country.
2. They may reject the Stat.
