East German letter seeks full talks on nine U S prisoners
In Berlin a letter from Deputy Foreign Minister Otto Winter to Col. Robert McQuail outlined East Germany s demand for credentials authorizing McQuail to negotiate as a full diplomat and to sign an agreement for the prisoners release. East German officials deny seeking recognition while pressing for diplomatic talks and the return of the nine Americans. An East German car carried a wooden case marked U S Mail, thought to hold mail and supplies for the prisoners.
