Red Czech Officer
Shot Accidentally,
Americans Believe
By the Associated Press

INCHON. Korea, Nov. 27.-A
Communist Czech officer who
was shot and wounded here will
be sent to a. Red hospital near
Panmunjom in the neutral zone
tomorrow. the United Nations
Command said tonight.
The officer, a member of q
neutral nations truce inspection
team working here. was shot in
the head early yesterday. His
condition is listed as serious.
The Czech, 1t. Col. Vojetech
Bagda, was taken aboard the
United States hospital ship Con-
ISOLATION shortly after the shoot
ing. He will be flown from the
ship to Panmunjom by helicop-
ter.
Other Czech team members
did not allow American officers
to question the wounded man.
They reported he was shot acci-
dentally when pistol he was
packing in a bag went off.
No Protest Indicated.
American officers pointed out
that Col. Bagda should not have
brought a loaded gun on his
South Korean inspection trip,
but indicated they would make
no protest.
They also indicated they be-
lieved the accidental shooting
theory. 1T was just minor in
cident," one officer said.
Doctors aboard the consolation
reported the bullet entered the
Czech's head at an unlikely
angle for a suicide attempt.
Speculation on Suicide.
The Czech had been scheduled
to return to North Korea yes
terday. This fact, coupled with
the gunshot wound, led to some
speculation the officer may have
tried suicide in rebellion against
going back to communism.
However, consolation doctors
said the man originally was being
returned to North Korea for
treatment of a tonsil infection.
