Stroud, and Capt. Walter Mule, have returned to the United States for reassignment. No retaliation is planned and officials note a past tit for tat approach between the two powers.

Hong Kong Says Chinese Reds Tried Transit Permit Ruse
Hong Kong authorities accused Chinese Communist officials of seeking transit permits for three turncoat Americans to enter Red China. A government spokesman said no such permits would be issued and the move was a propaganda effort to pressure U.S. and British authorities. A later statement said the British chargé d'affaires was authorized to inform the Chinese Red Cross that the men would be admitted as undocumented aliens, with uncertain implications for Peiping. The three Korean War era defectors awaited border crossing into British Hong Kong, with departure reportedly postponed.
