suspected Soviet spy MICHAEL TAMBLYN helped his dad s group the Outers on their monthly paper drive on Saturday However as he was sorting a bit of news caught his eye so he decided to read it Dr Paul Tamblyn is his father More pictures inside todays Free Press Soviet sports officials Gresko Andre Starovoitov and Valery Sych whose names appeared in a Toronto daily newspaper storv Monday in which chief Canadian hockey negotiator Alan questioned Gresko s easy access to Canada were panelists at a press conference attended by Free Press Sports Editor Denis Gibbons in Moscow Wednesday June 12 It was revealed in the story that Gresko was expelled from Britain September 24 as one of 90 Soviet diplomats believed by British intelh agents to be involved in espionage at that time Subsequently surfaced as chief of the powerful Winter Sports Committee of the Soviet Umon and was instrumental in arranging both the and summit hockey series between Canada and the USSR Gresko was in Canada in May making final arrangements with officials for the series here again in September for the first leg of the series and back again in November when he visited the office of Prime Minister Trudeau in Ottawa along with Dr Ed Director of the Institute of Comparative Physical Education at Montreal Loyola University Gresko and had worked together to arrange the study tour to the USSR of which Dents was one of 100 Canadian participants Gresko has also been named the Soviet Union s official attache to the Olympic Games in Montreal Eaglebon claimed the RCMP have known ab out Gresko s suspected activities for a long time yet he has always had easy access to Canada The Eagle also told the Toronto daily that if he was looking for a spy he would be more apt to watch Sych a tall muscular blond who maintains a stern expression rather than Gresko who has been very obliging in negotiations with Canadians He said he was warned to watch out for Sych According to the story during the series Canadian hockey authorities had been alerted by External Affairs officials to watch secretary general of the Soviet Ice Hockey Federation Sych is Starovoitovs assistant The belief said was that Staro may be the Communist party man in Russia hockey hierarchy Eagleson has expressed wonder at s access to the Prime Minister s office have to wonder about our lack of security if Gresko is as big a spy as stones now suggest he said Trudeau s supposed to be running the whole country Can he afford to let a suspected spy into his office During the June press conference Gresko and Sych answered questions about the summit series for Canadian students including Denis The three had just returned from Canada where they completed arrange ments for the series Philadelphia Flyer coach Fred Shero Dr Ed and Aggie who accompanies many Canadian hockey teams to the Soviet Union were also at the press conference In spite of the accusations against Gresko maintains that it was chiefly his efforts that brought about this year s three week sports and physical education study tour the first Of its kind m Canadian history At a closing banquet at Moscow s Leningrad Hotel the same night out Gresko for his excellent cooperation speaks almost impeccable English
