(Rec. 8 pm.) LONDON, June 4. Reuter’s correspondent in Moscow says that Father Philip Joseph Crosbie, an Australian Roman Catholic priest, released last week after almost three years’ internment in North Korea is due to reach Moscow today on the Trans-Siberian Express. Efforts are being made to arrange for Father Crosbie to be flown to Berlin.
Father Crosbie, the only Australian civilian to fall into North Korean hands, was interned in July, 1950. He is the twenty-ninth Allied civilian internee to be released by the North Koreans after Russian intervention.
