Schulman Heads Home from USSR

Marshall D. Schulman, associate at Harvard's Russian Research Center, left the Soviet Union on schedule Wednesday, following several accusations by the Soviet press.

Schulman, who has been studying disarmament theories among scholars in Moscow for the past three weeks, was accused by the Soviet government newspaper Izvestia last Saturday of attempting to brainwash and blackmail a Soviet scholar at Harvard in 1964 into defecting to the United States. Schulman denied the charges.

Tass the Soviet Press agency, transmitted a 500-word article Tuesday saying that "American Professor Marshall Schulman is expected to leave Moscow tomorrow after certain facts of his unseemly activities were made publicly known last weekend."

Tass added that Schulman "persistently tried to penetrate certain academic centers."

Schulman, who had already planned to leave Moscow Wednesday with his wife, did not alter or rush arrangements for his departure following the press allegations. He did say, however, that the three Russians with whom he was to meet on his final day all cancelled their appointments.
