U S Soldier Missing as Soviet-Listed Held Soldiers Released
The army reports a U S soldier has not been seen while Russian authorities say Pvt Willie J Holden and Pvt Richard L Calbert were arrested by East Berlin police after a street fight and later released after four power talks. East Berlin demanded trial by East German courts but authorities returned them to custody and an army court martial acquitted them. American officials expect Kliman to be returned despite a Soviet shift claiming East Berlin sovereign status. The army now requires officers to report travel plans to East Berlin with reasons.
