WASHINGTON L
USA TODAY'S SPECIAL REPORTS FROM THE CAPITAL
J.S. expected to expel
I or more Soviet envoys
"One or more Russian diplomats" will be expelled
from the United States this week because of Moscow's lack
of response to the shooting death of a U.S. intelligence
officer in East Germany, ABC News reported. Quoting State
Department sources, ABC said the administration wanted
to "avoid this move," but felt it had no choice because of
Moscow's hard line. Army Maj. Arthur Nicholson was shot
to death by a Soviet sentry March 24.
