Miss Helen Lyster, of Now York, and Mr. Griffiths Johnson, of Washington, were watching the Storm Troopers’ daily manoeuvres at the local airport when an official dashed up and arrested them because a camera was hanging from Miss Lyster’s arm. They were placed in separate cells and not allowed to communicate with the American Consul or a, lawyer for seven hours, during which time they were repeatedly questioned by officials of the Secret Police. Both were forced to strip in order to be searched, and eventually they were released. No apologies were tendered. The camera was returned lacking films, which had been developed, proving that they had not been used, as Miss Lyster had declared. .
