BAERNAU, Germany R-Ger.
man border police said today that
Czech authorities have offered to
trade seven US. soldiers they ar.
rested Sunday for three. members
of Czech labor gang who fled
to the West over the weekend.
Czech border police grabbed the
Americans - six enlisted men and
captain on leave - when they
came too close to the border while
sightseeing.
Hans Buettner, a district com
mander of the German border po-
lice, said the Czechs made their
swap offer at border meeting

U. S. Army officials at Heidels-
berg said they had no knowledge
of the reported offer.
Second Meeting
Baettner told newsmen he would
have a second meeting with the
CzechS at the border near here
later today.
1--WE have been told by Ameri-
can authorities not to make any
promises" he said.
He said the three Czechs who fled
across are being held by the
Germans in the Weiden area, near
here. He said one was accused of
murder by the Czech police.
He said four CzechS were present
at the morning meeting. "There
may have been more in the vicinity
but they must have been hiding "
he added.
US. authorities said earlier at
Heidelberg that they were pressing
for the release of the seven Amer
leans. They refused to reveal their
identities.
Army authorities said: "We are
in communication with the Czechs
and are trying to obtain the re-
lease of the men," They would not
elaborate.

New Government
Refuses To Deal
With Red Nations
By CARLOS EscUpERo

GUATEMALA "a - Guatemala
new government has turned its
back on the Communist world in
. bid to get on better terms with
its Western Hemisphere neighbors.
Elfego Monzon and Carlos Cas-

the ousted government ex-Presi-

The colonies said Guatemala also
would rejoin the Organization of
Central American States (ODECA)

United Nations.
Bid Fer Recognition
This was considered an appeal
for diplomatic recognition. So far
two countries--Costa RIGA and Ell
Salvador-have served notice they

the five-day-old military regime.
The leftist Arbenz government
dropped out Of ODECA last year
accusing the other members of ag-
gressive intentions toward Guate-
mala. Six weeks before Castillo's
anti Communist revolution top
pied Arbenz from power, his gov
eminent received a 10-million-dol-
lar arms shipment from behind
the Iron Curtain.
Monzon, who is titular head of
the junta until it elects a perma-
nent chief July II, said yesterday
the police have completely filled
the country's jails with 1000 Com
nunists suspects and now are pre-
pairing new places of confinement.
Refuge Sought
Monzon said 1000 persons have
taken refuge in foreign embassies.
The case Of each Of these will be
studied, he said, and no safe con-
ducts out of the country will be
granted for any persons wanted
for crimes.
He said no request for safe con-
duct has been made by Arbenz,
who is. in the Mexican Embassy.
The colonies announced they
would suspend the national land
law, under which Arbenz cut up
and redistributed large land hold.
