The ~remlin called tbia •eooliganism• -- a nd said Mrs. Sommerlatte muet leave the "workers paradise.• In her telephone call today the attractive Betty Somaerlatte told her fat~er that the ,re ■ lin story is completely f a lse. She said she and her friend, Mrs. Frances Stiff, suffered what ahe called •personal indi~nitiea• at the hands of the Soviet Poiice. And, that she heralf did not slap anyone. Meanwhile, our Ambassador Bohlen, met with Molotov today at the lrealin. The Ambaasador ~efuaed to coament afterward. But Western diplomats in Moscow believe he told Molotov that•• regard the Soamerlatte SOM~ERBLATTE - 2 ~----------- inci e nt as ■■ as■ serious. That the lady and her fri nd were detained unlawful y by the Red police. That the two Americ n women had diplomatic iaaunity. Tat the Sovi ts did a thin~ that just isn't done by anybody. And that we don't li~e it. Pravda has something to aay about the incident today. ~es, of course that Communist party paper confirms what the ~remlin saya - that our diplomat's wife, the attr,ctive Betty, did slap the R~d secret policeman - and that it found twenty people who saw her do it.

The Maine Republica1 ad in g , t h at the initiative might be ta~•n at any time, by either side. Senator Smith maAiD 6 this statement at an••• conference over in Finland, at Helsinki. A reporter had asted if East-West relations were better or worse. When she said that diplomatic relations might be broken off, another reporter called it - a rather strong statement. " o w h ich the Maine Senator replied: "I xnow that," but refused tv say any more. The newsmen tried to insist. The lady waE adamant. Senator ~argaret Chase Smith's remark is esp e cially interestin 6 ~cause the lady from Yaine ha s just arrived in Finland, from Moscow. Quite a •strong• statement indeed -- that we may 6 on break off diplo~atic relations with Russia. 1J1>9·9Blll Western di p lom u ts in Saigon believe that the Co ■■unist Vi e t Minh are beginning what ia called __ •a slow freeze-out• of American officials.
