Flying Clipper Seized by Russians Then Released Off Baltic
A Swedish three masted schooner Flying Clipper was seized by a Russian patrol boat nine miles off the Soviet Baltic coast but released after less than five hours. The ship, under Capt. T Hagstroem with six aboard, said winds forced it off course toward international waters before heading to Scotland. Sweden disputes Russia's twelve mile limit. In Washington, a midyear budget review boosted the 1957 surplus to 700 million dollars, but left little room for tax cuts.
