Prague Action
BY the Associated Press


The United States has pro-
tested to Czechoslovakia about
police interference with visitors
to the United States Embassy
at Prague.
Oficials said the protest was
made last week end by United
States Ambassador Alexis John
son.
Mr.. johnson told the Czech
Foreign Ministry that such
haraSsment was entirely I'M
warranted"
He reported to the State De-
partment that two to five Czech
policemen have been posted out
side the Embassy for several
weeks.
officials said this seemed to
REJECT Czech uneasiness about
activities of the Czech people
in the light of upheavals against
Communist rule in Hungary and
Poland.
Mr.. johnson reported the
policemen have been checking
Identification papers. taking
down names and inquiring of
Czech visitors what business
they have at the United States
Embassy.
On occasion, however, they
apparently overStepped them
selves and questioned Americans
and other non Czech nationals.
One of these was the wife of
Colombian Consul General Fer
nando Gaitan. Other Western
embassies in Prague are re-
ported having the same ex-
perience.
