Talks in Kremlin Hint Favorable Developments for Czechoslovaks
Reports from nist sources speak of favorable developments for the Czechoslovaks in Sunday talks at the Kremlin but offer no specifics. Pessimism colored the diplomatic mood as President Ludvik Svoboda indicated limited progress while Czechoslovak leaders Dubcek Cernik and Smrkovsky faced arrests tied to the invasion era. Delegates from four bloc nations including Gomulka Ulbricht Kadár Zhivkov were expected to back any agreement with Soviet approval. Soviet officials pressed the line of restraint, but Tass noted hostile acts by Czechoslovak forces as tensions stretched the crisis urge.
