BRITISHER'S ARREST
INQUIRIES IN BERLIN
(Received August 20, 9 a.m.)
LONDON, August 19,
The Government has instructed the Ambassador at Berlin, Sir Nevile Henderson, to inform Germany that Britain takes a serious view of the arrest of Captain T. Kendrick, former British passport officer in Vienna, and expects a full and speedy explanation. Britain has also asked for particulars of the charge. The German Foreign Ministry has promised a full inquiry. It is hoped representations from London will lead to Captain Kendrick's release. Reports from Vienna state that all requests to see Captain Kendrick have been refused, even those by his wife and colleagues. The Gestapo (Nazi secret police) has referred the case to headquarters in Berlin. The question arises whether Captain Kendrick can claim diplomatic status.
The Berlin correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" says that the authorities still decline to make a statement regarding the arrest of Captain Kendrick. He is allowed to receive gifts but not to seftd messages.
