missiOn to Russia, 'today denounce as
"totally false" statements of Herman F.

. The letter calls upon the Federation,
president to demand from Lin-Donner
“the evidenCe supporting the ‘absolute
knowledge' he claims 0 possess," and
asks for himself “the right'publicityi
to present the refutation of his (Don-

in whose presence these slanders were
uttered," . .
