Protest On Detention Of Embassy Wives MOSCOW —The Soviet Union today returned a U.S. note pro- testing against what the United States called the forcible detention of the wives of two American Em- bassy officials. The U.S. Embassy_in Moscow takes an extremely; grave view of the incident, feeling that it strikes at the basic issue of the personal safety of American diplomatic per- el in Russia. 3 Washington, the State De- ent said the women were held by Russian secret police for approximately an hour and a half Monday “‘in violation of generally accepted diplomatic practice that prohibits the arrest or detention of persons. having recognized dip- lomatic status.” (U.S. officials said the Soviet government countered the U.S. pro- test by accusing one of the wives, Mrs. Earl E. Sommerlatte, of “hooliganism”—a Soviet term for rowdy behavior—and demanding her recall by the United States. Mrs. Sommerlatte is the wife of the embassy’s second secretary. (The other woman involved in the incident was identified as the wife of Marine Lt. Col. Houston Stiff, assistant naval attache at the "(Washington ington officials said the Washi ic 8 we became alarmed during their detention and a scuffle en- sued. One of the women slapped one of the policemen. This appar- ently was the basis of the hooligan- ism charge against Mrs. Sommer- latte.) U.S. Ambassador Charles E. Bohlen heard about the incident Monday when he returned from lunch, He immediately notified the State Department in Washington and sent Frank Siscoe, first sec- retary of the embassy, to the So- viet Foreign Office to make an} peg oral protest to the acting head o f sion given orally rived last night Embassy. Bohlen sent it back gees version ts fm such papedh pend tradiction of the facts that I am sure that after further investigation the Foreign Minstry will wish to change it.” About 1 a.m. today, the Soviet be Sent its note again to the embassy and at the same tim: turned Bohlen’s note, reas Both women involved are in a highly nervous state and have stayed close to their apartments. “Both these girls behaved ad- mirably,” Bohlen said. Mrs. Sommerlatte is the daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs, Samuel F. McCormack of Wilmington, Del. Mrs. Stiff is from La Jolla, Calif, Her husband is a native of Waco, Tex, Civil Defense Group Organized A meeting for the purpose of forming a Civil Defense organiza- tion for Key West was held Mon- day night at the JayCee Clubhouse.

After receiving authority from Washington, Bohlen sent a first- person note to Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov. Late yesterday, the Soviet For- eign Office summoned U.S. Minis- | ter Walter Walmsley. When he ap- pered at the office, the head: of the protocol section, M. Kisilev, read him a statement setting forth the Soviet position on the case. Walmsley termed the statemen a “fabricaion” and refused to ac- cept a written copy of the oral statement in which the Soviet gov- ernment said Mrs. Sommerlatte was “no longer desirable” in the: Soviet Union.

Lancaster Is “Apache” Star, Co-Producer ‘The long-awaited initial produc- tion of the newly-formed Hecht- Lancaster organization, “Apache,” starring Burt Lancaster and Jean Jeters under the production aegis of Harold Hecht, will open its pre- miere engagement locally on Thursday at the Strand Theatre. The saga of Massai, fiercest and most savage warrior of the Apache tribe, who waged a single-handed bloody war against the whole Unit- ed States Army, is one of the most colorful authentic chapters in the story of the early West. Lancaster is Massai and Jean Peters is Nalinle, the lovely Indian girl whose passionate devotion tarned Massai at last to the tasks of peace. The Supporting cast is headed by John McIntire, Charles Buchinsky, John Dehner, Paul Guilfoyle, Walter Sande, Morris Ankrum and Monte Blue. “Apache” was filmed in color by Technicolor under the direction of Robert Ald- Tich from the screen adaptation by James R. Webb of the best-selling novel by Paul I. Wellman. “Apache” hews close to the line of history in telling the incredible but entirely authentic story of Mas- sai, whose bravery is one of the brightest legends of the Apache In- dians. In the process, it pulls no punches, and put the blame for Maseai’s ill-fated war squarely where it belongs, on a handful of greedy white men whose desire for personal gain resulted in the imposition of unfair treaties on the Indians. An outdoor picture, “Apache” was filmed almost in its entirety on location. There were nineteen loca- tion sites in all, to each of which was transported the whole troupe, consisting of 110 actors and tech- nicians. Among these sites were such striking locales as Burro Flats, Iverson’s Ranch, Solemint Canyon, Vasquez Rocks and Agoura Ranch. Self Defense Is Claimed In Trial For April Slaying PENSACOLA (#—The defense attempted to prove today that Al| Wagner, owner of the Cavalcade of Amusements, was killed in self | defense by a painter employed by the carnival. William 0. Burke, 48, is being | tried for second degree murder in the pistol slaying April 11. Before resting its case yester- day, the state tried to discredit a statement made by Burke shortly after the shooting in which he said he fired only after Wagner “‘took dead aim” at him. Burke said in the statement that when he went to see Wagner to get a pay check, Wagner came out of his trailer and fired several shots in Burke’s direction. Burke said he then started firing his .25 automatic into the ground and when Wagner aimed directly at him he shot him once. Sheriff’s investigator Hamp Gan- dy testified that he found five bul- let holes in the side of Wagner’s trailer and that the showman’s .38 caliber revolver had been fired only once, had misfired once, and still had four bullets in it. Mrs. Harriet Wagner, Wagner’s widow, said that when she ran up after the shooting Burke told her “You stay away from me or you’il get it, too.” Property of the show, which had used Mobile, Ala., as its winter quarters, was auctioned by the government there in August for slightly more than $64,000 to: sat- isfy a federal tax lien for $263,374, story?
