RETALIATION
WEST GERMANY
Frankfurt, May 20. American and British authorl- ties today sharply restricted the moyements of Soviet military mirions in Western Germany.
The restrictions were imposed in retaliation for the withdrawal of free travel passes from the U.S. and British missions at Pots- dam in the Soviet zone.
U.S. Army officials said mem- bers of the American mission there are now allowed to travel only between their homes and their offices.
The Russian mission in the Bri- tish rone will be confined to the route between
