Moscow tel 4139 June 6	LOU Embassy Moscow reports that Moscow television, like the Soviet press and radio (see previous roundups), has engaged in a vicious anti-US propaganda campaign in connection with the assassination. Embassy believes the Arab origin of the suspected assassin may cause the Soviets a problem in further treatment of this subject, but that the propaganda against American society ills will probably continue.
