CAMERA UNDER SUSPICION

MUNICH, Nov. 2

Miss Helen Lyster, of New York, and Mr. Griffiths Johnson, of Washington, were watching Storm Troopers at their daily manoeuvres at the Munich airport, when an official arrested them because a camera was hanging from one of Miss Lyster's arms. The visitors were placed in separate cells and wefe not allowed to communicate with the American Consul or with a lawyer for seven hours, during which period they were repeatedly questioned by officials and secret police. Both were forced to undress in order to be searched, but eventually they were released.

No apologies were made for their treatment. The camera was returned lacking the films, which had been developed. The results proved that the camera had not been used, as Miss Lyster had declared.
