Photo tale of a Prague stay by an American hockey manager
C V Thomas of the Baltimore and Ohio Public Relations Department recalled a brief Communist detention in Czechoslovakia during a goodwill hockey tour. His wife’s photo with a team member triggered charges of military objective photography, prompting 24 hours in custody and a guarded stay with ten detectives. The group faced limited dialogue, surveillance, and ticket control, with travel hardships from France to Berlin via Holland, and varied treatment across nations. Thomas urged pride in U S railroads, noting 29 billion invested and 400 000 miles of track, arguing private ownership outperforms government control.
