Soviets Release !
Some Western
Zone Prisoners
(Continued from Page One)
rested a German photographer.
He was the tenth German seized
since Thursday by the Russians
and their German police, either in
the western parts of Berlin or
along the border.
The Americans released today
were:
Thomas P. Headen, deputy
head of the American military
government information services
division in Berlin. He was ab
ducted yesterday in Potsdamer
Platz, where the Russian. Ameri
can and British zones meet. It
was not clear whether he had
stepped across the vague boun
dary.
Lt. Sherman Turner of Council
Bluffs, Iowa, and Roland Myers of
Brooklyn, American military gov
ernment officers who were seized
18 days ago while on a border in
spection. They had crossed into
the Russian zone at Mellrichstadt,
75 miles from Frankfurt, appar
ently by mistake. The Russians
tried without success to force
Turner and Myers to sign a re
cept saying they entered the Rus
sian zone of Germany “wi'hout
authority” and took illegal pic
tures of the border.
Toward dusk, the Russians re
leased Paul Hoppe, German po
lice chief for the Berlin borough
of Kreuzberg in the U. S. zone.
American officials said Hoppe
was arrested Saturday when he
sought to negotiate the release of
several of his policemen the Rus
sians had taken. The Soviets also
| returned a police jeep and its
driver.
Headern was held 21 hours.
American officials who question
ed him said the Russians did not
manhandle him.
“They accused me of taking
I pictures of Soviet soldiers and
jailed me for this,” Headen said.
Headen said he immediately
identified himself, but that this
seemed to have no effect. The
Russians refused him permission
to telephone American authorities
and took him to a Soviet head
quarters jail. His story continued:
“I was put in a cell with a
three-tiered wooden bunk with a
raised end as a pillow. The cell
was clean, but poorly lighted. I
was told I would have to follow
the usual rules for inmates, name
ly that I could not lie down be
tween 5 a.m., and 11 p.m.”
“I’m glad to be back, and I cer
tainly don't want to have any
part of that any more,” Headen
commented as he was brought
back to American military police
headquarters.
. He said the Russians had re
turned the camera he had with
him when he was picked up, be
fore the eyes of his wife and two
children.
Both Turner and Myers are U.
S. military .government officials.
They were picked up by the Rus
sians while on a border inspection
Aug. 5. U. S. officers who talked
with the two quoted them as say
; ing they had been “well treated
by Russian standards.”
I “From the information they
gave us, they apparently weremot
held in jail and were well treat
ed,” one constabulary officer said,
i The detention of Turner and
Myers was the longest by Russian
bfficers in the recent series of ar
rests of Americans.

Fishburgers !
Ahead Of Us
COLLEGE PARK, Md., (A3) —
What this country needs, says a 1
government scientist, is a good
popular-priced fishburger.
It might compete with the tra
ditional American hambur g e r
which once sold for five cents—
with pickle and mustard.
At the U. S. fish nad wildlife
service laboratory here, Norman
D. Harvis has been experiment
ing with more than 40 species of
fish in the production of canned
fish pastes.
He is using tomato, flour, dried i
skimmed milk, margarine and a
small amount of seasoning—and
fish, of course — in a formula
which he hopes to perfect this
fall. The formula then will be
made available to the fish can
ning industry. The more promis
ing formulae are to be tried out
CHINESE MUST “PAY
UP OR BE EXPOSED”
SHANGHAI t/P)—If 30 wealthy
Shanghai Chinese do not hurry
and make their contribution to
the special “soak the rich” levy,
they are going to have their names
published in the newspapers.
The committee out to collect
the special relief fund for the
destitute sent the notices today
to pay up or be exposed.
The welfare fund is a bit short
—only two trillion 500 billion
Chinese dollars of Shanghai’s
quota of eight trillion 500 billion
has been collected.
TOKYO, f/P)—Horse racing in
Japan may be suspended until
the sleeping sickness epidemic is
over. The disease has struck 1,230
horses throughout Japan with an
estimated 50 per cent of them
dying.
