Soviet protest over U S note on detention of embassy wives
Soviet Union returned a U S note protesting the detention of two American embassy wives in Moscow claiming the action violated diplomatic practice. Washington called the detention about an hour and a half flagrant, with one wife allegedly slapping a policeman. The incident drew responses from Bohlen and Molotov, as the Soviet side insisted the women were no longer desirable in the USSR while the United States demanded safe status for diplomats and their families. The two women involved are Mrs Earl E Sommerlatte the wife of the embassy second secretary and Mrs Houston Stiff the wife of the naval attaché.
