RUSS DIPLOMATS TO FACE STIFF TRAVEL CURBS

SOVIET OFFICIALS TO GET IRON CURTAIN TREATMENT

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.— i UPi American officials are drafting a stiff order to restrict the travel of Russian diplomats in this country, it was disclosed today. The move is designed to counter the new travel limits imposed last week on American and other foreign diplomats in the Soviet Union. Details have not been worked out yet but administration sources said the American order will be just us tough as the Kremlin's. They predicted the ordei will be issueil soon. The United States decided against retaliation in 1948 when Moscow clamped some restrictions on foreign travel. Officials are convinced now, however, that Russia should get a dose of its own medicine. Ill 194N. the Russians limited travel in the Moscow area to 31 miles and banned any travel to 11 important cities and five of the 16 Soviet Republics. Lust Wednesday, they marked 22 more big cities “off limits" and cut travel in the Moscow area to 25 miles. U. S. experts are busy trying to figure out how to translate these edicts into equivalent American restrictions. Curtailing Washington area travel is considered simple compared to picking out cities to declare out of bounds. The formula will be workeu out by the State and Defense Departments and other interested agencies. Pentagon officials are vitally concerned because of the espionage opjiortuiiities which unlimited travel offers to Soviet military attaches. They also aie anxious to see that American military aides In Russia get as much freedom as possible. Failure of the State and Defense Departments to agree on a policy was one of the reaxons that the United Stales did not retaliate in 1948 There is said to be a large measure of agreement now. although it may tak ■ a while to “coordinate" all details. 3 Trustees Face Impeachment KOCKPORT. Ind . Jan. 22.
