Who Says Oatis Case Is Closed?—

Truman Opens Door Czechs Tried to Slam

Another Story, Page 20 By United Press

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30— President Truman sharply reminded Czechoslovakia today that this government will not

consider the case of imprisoned American Correspondent William N. Oatis as closed until the reporter is freed. Mr. Truman made the state-! ment at, his news conference in| commenting on Czech Ambassador Vladimir Prochazka’'s remark yesterday that the Oatis case is “closed from a juridical point of view.” The President's firm attitude suggested that the United States is ready for a show-down with Communist Czechoslovakia on the case of the Associated Press correspondent who has been sen-| tenced to 10 years’ imprisonment on trumped-up charges.

bBawled Out

Informed quarters said this government already has started secret pressures on Czechoslovakia and probably will crack down openly on Czech trade next week in retaliation. Mr. Prochazka, who got a bawling out from Mr. Truman and one from Secretary of State Dean Acheson 24 hours later, said yesterday that his government will not yield to America’'s/ “trade, propaganda or political pressures.”

Two Possible ‘Steps

Unless the Czechs give some] gatisfactory answer by next week, the United~ States will be ready to: ONE —Bar all> American exports to Czechoslovakia. TWO—Bar Czech commercial aircraft from flying over Western Germany. This move would be backed by Great Britain and France. Other Western powers also were reported showing more and more interest in the Oatis case. The United States delayed immediate action against the Czechs, apparently to give Prague a few days to answer Secretary of State Dean Acheson's scathing leeture to Mr. Prochazka yesterday. Mr. Acheson told off Mr. Prochazka for more utes during a ‘tense session at the State Department.
