.Fingerprinting
Still a Must

The State Department say,
unofhcial delegations Of Rus
slams visiting this country still
have to be fingerprinted and
that it just slipped up on two
groups last year.
A note to this effect was de-
liyered to Acting Foreign Min
lister Andrei Gromyko in Mos
COW Tuesday. 1t was made public
here and in Moscow yesterday
The note informed the Soviet.
that, according to United States
law, no visitors other than off,
|cials such as diplomats may
come to the United States with
out being f1ngerprinted.
The State Department said q
Russian chess team and a Soviet
ski team were admitted last year
without being flngerprinted be-
cause of administrative inad-
Ivertence on the part of the VISA
issuing officials"
The Russians have complained
about the requirement. This
spring two groups, one Of stu
dent editors and the other OF
veterans Of the Elbe river linkup
refused invitations to come to
the United States. They objected
to the fingerprinting, calling ii
humiliating.
The Russian farmers due
here this summer have been
given an official status and will
not have to be fingerprinted.
