Second Pole Defects: Son of Diplomat Defects in Germany
Marek Radonski, 19, son of a Polish diplomat in East Berlin, sought political asylum in the United States after crossing Checkpoint Charlie on May 5. He fled the Soviet zone to avoid communism, flown to West Germany, and connected to a prior Pole defector while authorities noted no link to that case. A second defector, Wladyslaw Tykocinski, head of the Polish military mission in West Berlin, also left for West Germany, aiding Western intelligence efforts against communist espionage.

Contracts linger between Mt Greylock Tramway Authority and Nevada and Oregon interests, while Ways and Means may report on abolition of the authority. Local reps defended the study as Berkshire County clashes over preserving Greylock’s natural resources.
