CHETNIKS FREED GUARDS OVERPOWERED 17 CRIMINALS RELEASED (11 am.) ROME. April 22. One thousand Chetnik followers of the late General Mikhailovitch stormed a train at the Formia railway station and overpowered Allied guards and freed 17 Chetnik criminals. A train carrying 1000 Chetniks from a British camp near Naples to the British zone of Germany and a train carrying criminals to Lipari Islands stopped on adjacent tracks. When the 1000 heard the prison train contained fellow countrymen they acted. British military police and Italian police are hunting for the escapees. They have recaptured one.
