Reds Demand Return Of Zone Deputy Premier
Russian authorities insist East German Deputy Premier Otto Nuschke be returned from West Berlin after the riots. Tass quotes a letter urging immediate release and removal of obstacles to his return to the democratic sector. American officials say arrangements are underway to hand him to Russia. Nuschke praised his rescue by West Berlin police, but rioters beat and car-shoved him into the western sector. The Kremlin seeks to deflect Western outrage over the shooting of a unemployed father of two amid the unrest.
