Russian Attache Ordered To Leave Britain. Two soviet assistant air attaches have been told to leave Britain within ten days because the British Government has clear evidence that they have abused their diplomatic status by trying to spy on Britain. They are Major Ivan Pupyshev and Major Andrei Gudkov. It is almost certain the Majors were trapped trying to obtain "planted" information - 01 no value - from persons they thought were renegade Englishmen but who were in fact men working for M15.
