U S Demands Closing Of Two Consulates By Czechs
The United States demanded Czechoslovakia close its consulates in Cleveland and Pittsburgh and cut two thirds of Czech officials in the U S. The note, delivered in Prague and here to Ambassador Outrata, cited Kremlin dictates and a failed independent policy. Twenty two Czech officials would be affected, with 33 total representational staff in the U S outside the UN delegation. The Chicago consulate had already closed, and New York remains open with 15 staff. The action follows a prior demand to reduce U S representation in Czechoslovakia by two thirds.
