Russians Free Three Americans After Berlin Photo Capture
In Berlin the Russians freed three Americans after detaining them near the Potsdamer Platz No Man's Land. Thomas P. Headen, deputy chief of the U S military government information division, was released following overnight detention in the Russian sector. Two other Americans, Turner and Myers, were freed at Herzfeld. The photographer’s seizure underscores Russian efforts to bar photography near their zone as Western authorities report repeated incursions into the American sector. Headen described his treatment as calm with occasional courtesy, and noted the Russians returned his camera. Headen, Turner, and Myers were later turned over to U S liaison officers. Somerset weather data closes the item with temperatures recorded.
