  7/11/us-says-soviets-sent-leaflets/ 6194458366400/ u.s. says soviets sent leaflets by jim anderson   washington -- the state department links the soviet union to a series of hate leaflets that threaten third world athletes who compete in the summer olympics but a soviet spokesman calls the allegations ridiculous. leaflets have so far been received by the olympic committees in zimbabwe, sri lanka, south korea, malaysia and china. none of those countries has joined the soviet union's boycott of the summer games in los angeles, which start july 28. state department spokesman alan romberg said the leaflets 'bear all the hallmarks of a disinformation campaign' and he noted the thrust of the message in the leaflets 'dovetails neatly with the soviet justification for their withdrawal' from the summer games. viktor degtyar, spokesman for the soviet embassy in washington, said, 'the allegations are ridiculous, pure nonsense. they speak for themselves.' in moscow, the soviet news agency tass said the leaflets, allegedly written by the ku klux klan, 'only expressed in an extremely base manner what the architects of american policy have in their mind.'
