SUB CZECHOSLOVAK.IA(/./(_~- :::J'~ '7 _ ,~-1, The Unite d States government sent a stern protest - to Re d Czechoslovakia, today. Demanding - the release or seven American•• soldiers, who strayed across the border of the Iron Curtain. The U.S. note described as belng- "ln the strongest possible terms." Demanding - the release --- of the seven. 'Ibis follows a coanun1cat1on from Czechoslovakia charging- that the Americana were on a spy m1ea1on. Said to have been gathering espionage information, and taking photographs. Which would certainly sound like non1en1e. The party of seven headad by a captain - having cr011ed the border quite openly• in an automobile • • U.S. military authorities in Germany explain - they lost their way; 11M strayed across the line. The State Department, in tonight's protest, denies the charge of espionage, calling it - absurd.
