Detained American Youth Wins Release From Austria
Rada Krnish, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Krnish of Wells Street, returned home after two years detained in Croatia and Austria. He was deemed an Austrian subject until his father’s naturalization papers were produced, with help from attorney John H. White, Congressman Hollingsworth, and Secretary of State Lansing. The American government secured his passport after six months of negotiations through the consul at Fiume, ending his forced military service risk and enabling safe passage to the United States.
