Immediate Release

Of Seven Soldiers

Washington, July 7.

The United States Government today de- nounced Czechoslovakia for the “abduction" of seven United States soldiers and demanded their immediate release.

The note, delivered by the Americat Ambassador, flatly rejected Czech claims that the seven men -- a captain and six enlisted men ---- were spying when seized by Czech border police near the West German town of Baernau,
