Order Grows Out of Leap By Teacher
Flatly . Rejects Molotov Protest WASHINGTON, Aug: 20 (UP)~—This country today stripped Jacob Lomakin of his authority as Soviet Con-|
sul General in New York and
ordered him to get out of the! country for “abuse” of his posi-| tion and “gross violation” of decent standards of official conduct. It also rejected as false from beginning to end charges leveled at this country by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov and Ambassador Alexander 8. Panyushkin in the case of the three Rus#lan school teachers who refused’ to go back to their Communist
homeland. And the United States denounced as “highly improper” the conduct of “officials of the Soviet government” who made the charges. It did not ask Mr. Panyushkin’s recall, but it did demand that Mr. Lomakin get out of this country “within a reasonable time.” White House Press Secretary Charles G. Ross said the action against Mr. Lomakin was ‘taken at the direction of President Trun. The U. 8. rejection of ‘Russian charges and its diplomatic coup-~ tér-attack were contained in a note handed to the Soviet ambas-| sador last night and made public today.

But they have made it plain they do not want to, the U. 8. note said, and this country will not force them to do so against their will, They are “entitled to the protection of the applicable laws of the United States, and the government of the United States cannot,” the note said, the. exercise within the United States of the police power of any foreign government.” ; “Hindered” Police Mr. Lomakin's recall was demanded because he “hindered” investigation of New York police officials by refusing to allow them to interview Mrs. Oksana! 8.

Few Cities Escape Requests for telephone directories, telephone system capacities and numbers of telephones went to telephone companies in New York. Boston, Philadelphia and New Orleans. Hardly a major city has escaped the attention- of the Russians, officers said.
U. 8. counter intelligence officers have no special powers for use in combatting the Russian efforts and they are not asking for any. They are, however, asking the voluntary co-operation of civilian agencies, businesses and individuals. They ask anybody receiving suspect inquiries to seek advice about them from the nearest Army, Navy, Air Force, FBI, State Department, or national munitions board office. Seemingly Trivial They have asked businessmen all over the country to be wary of Inquiries from overseas, no matter how harmless the requested information may look. European requests for informa-

BERLIN, Aug. 20 (UP)~—8even German policemen from the American sector of Berlin were reported kidnaped by Russian soldiers today, and 600 to 800 German civilians were rounded up in a series of Soviet black market raids. 3 American public safety officers said the seven policemen were kidnaped “at gun point.” Three of the German policemen escaped from their Soviet

The Wichita: Chamber of Commerce, in reply to' two requests from Germany, sent booklets giving the city’s altitude, ical location, frost-free periods, and average température, precipitation, and wind velocity. Wichita, a wheat-land city of 200,000, is the site of Boeing Aircraft's No. 2 plant where most of World War II's B-29 bombers were made. Beechcraft and Cessna aircraft factories are situated there. The city is the center of one of the world's largest oii and gas regions... The Air Force's Smoky Hill base is 100 miles to the northwest. Big Army Base San Antonio received information requests from Austria and Switzerland as “Austro-American Society” in Vienna wanted a copy of the San Antonio Red Book—a directory of business Firms.
