BAILLIE-STEWART

APPEARANCE IN COURT REMANDED AT BOW STREET (Reed. 6.30 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 20 Norman Baillie-Stewart arrived at Croydon from Brussels by air. Two special branch Scotland Yard men met the R.A.F. Transport Command plane and drove him to Scotland Yard. He was then immediately transferred to a police van and taken to Bow Street police station, where he was charged and remanded until Monday. Baillie-Stewart, who was pale but appeared fit and in the highest spirits, chatted all the way from the airport. After he had been charged, his finger prints were taken. He will spend the week-end in custody at Bow Street. Military authorities refused to say where he had been kept since his capture in the Austrian mountains last May. Baillie-Stewart is reported to have offered his services to the Allies, expressing the opinion that this would be "a much more enlightened procedure than punishing him for any past youthful indiscretions." Cablegrams last May reported BaillieStewart to be a prisoner in Holland. He was alleged to have made broadcasts over the Hamburg and Bremen radios* RENNER RECOGNISED FOUR-POWER COMMUNIQUE (Herd. 7.30 p.m.) VIENNA, Oct. 21 Dr Karl Renner's Provisional Government in Austria was officially recognised yesterday by the four Powers on the Allied Council for Austria, according to a communique issued after a five-hour meeting of the commission under the chairmanship of General McCreery, Commander-in-Chief of the British occupation forces.
