citizens of a friendly nation" Rus
sia was told.

raises the most energetic protest
against such actions by the Soviet
authorities in Germany, and ex-
poets that those Soviet officials
who are responsible for these acts
will be punished"
For the future, the note In
formed Moscow that the United
States INSISTS that the elementary
rights of it's citizens be observed
in accordance with civilized inter-
national conduct.

the note were Warren j. Oelsnel
