In a shocking turn of events, the Soviet Union has denied allegations that they rejected two suspected spies in a recent exchange of alleged espionage agents between the United States and the USSR. According to a story in The Star, authoritative government sources claimed that the Russians professed to have no interest in a Washington couple using false identities of Robert K. Baltch and Joy Ann Garber Baltch. The sources, who wished to remain anonymous, revealed that the Soviet reaction was met with skepticism by U.S. officials, who had been led to believe that the Russians were interested in exchanging these individuals.
