BRITAIN GIVES RUSSIANS TASTE OF OWN MEDICINE
LONDON, May 19 (Rec. 10.15 a.m.) The British authorities today imposed restrictions on the movements of the Russian military mission in the British zone of Germany according to the Associated Press Bonn correspondent. . . The chief of the Russian mission, ‘Colonel Stepanov, was summoned to British Army Headquarters and told that he and his staff in future would be confined to the route between Bad Salzuflen and Helmstedt. Bad Salzuflen is a small town where the Russian mission is stationed and Helmstedt is the main border crossing into the Soviet zone.
A British spokesman said that the British measures were taken because of similar restrictions on the British military mission at Potsdam. Britain today demanded the expulsion of Janos Nagy, the Hungarian attache at the Hungarian Legation in London. This is in retaliation for the expulsion of three members of the Britsh Legation in Budapest, ordered by Hungary yesterday and is in keeping with the recently decided policy of taking specific reprisals in all such cases.
