Czechs Hint Deal May Free Oatis From Prison Cell
Hints from Czechoslovakia suggested a possible swap to free AP reporter William N. Oatis from prison if the United States released a $17 million steel mill. The State Department denied any link between the mill and the Oatis case, saying no offer had been made and the steel mill decision would not be connected. Oatis faces spy charges the U.S. has called false. The mill had been bought after World War II and blocked from delivery since the Communist takeover.
