East Germany promised quick release of nine U. S. Army personnel and their helicopter if the United States acts in a normal and reasonable manner.

The piece appeared after Dulles said the U.S. would negotiate with East Germans over the crew and helicopter that ran out of gas in East Germany last Saturday.

The House passed a five year extension of the reciprocal trade program by a 327 to 8 vote, defeating a two year limit and a watered down substitute.
