Franklin Freed After 18 Hour Detention in Berlin
Dr Franklin, deputy chief of the American military government in Berlin, was released by Russian authorities after 18 hours of detention while identity checks were completed. He claimed no mistreatment and described confinement in a Soviet district HQ room with no bed. The incident followed reports that Franklin, a political and cultural expert with the U.S. sector, had been kidnapped, though officials said it was a detention to verify documents. An American protest sought his release and a probe, while authorities noted the arrest occurred near the Alexanderplatz after a long four power meeting. An accompanying item notes calls in Washington to ban national strikes in vital industries, with I. Eberson Gaines of the National Coal Association urging outlaw efforts to enforce union health funds.
