VIENNA, August 20. Captain Thomas Kendrick, British passport control officer in Vienna, who was arrested as he entered the old Reich on his way to England on leave, was released today. He started for England, with his wife, by car.
According to an official statement issued in Berlin, Captain Kendrick was arrested because the authorities had proof that he did espionage work in Vienna. He has been ordered to leave the Reich at the soonest possible moment. After his release Captain Kendrick refused to make any statement.
All German newspapers allege that Captain Kendrick "confessed" to espionage. Field-Marshal Goering's newspaper, the "National Zeitung," alleges that Captain Kendrick was spying on behalf of the British Intelligence Service, and adds that the British Government must face the German Government's disapproval over the employment of officers for espionage.
Germany emphatically demands the discontinuance of such highly unpleasant visage ar.d the., rigid observance of the limit to diplomatic rights.
