That same night the late Robin- son Warren was ret'l;'nlI.g to his home via the old bridge. Suddenly the horse refused to draw the wagon.

In West Berlin
smsn, chief of the West Berlin police political department. coin- cided with publication by the Com- munist East German news agency ADN of a declaration allegedly made by Dr. Alexander Trushno- vich.
Trushnovich was a leading af- ficial of a Russian refugee society whom West Berlin police reported kidnapped a week ago. The de- claration was headed: "Why I broke with the past."
Weissman Tuesday warned the 1,000 persons of the precautions his department is taking on their be- half and stressed the dangers they face if they step out alone in a strange place.
Ho said police are ordered to keep a constant watch on their homes and offices and that any strangers seen loitering nearby are questioned.
PRECAUTIONS TIGHTENED
Precautions have been tightened following the disappearance of Trusnovich last week. West Berlin police claim he was kidnapped. The East German government as- serts Trushnovich deserted to the Soviet sector seeking political asy- lum.
Following 'I‘hrushnovich's disap- pearance, Ernst Tillich. head of the fighting group against inhumanity," said he and a num- ber of other prominent snti-Com- munists were likely to be kid- nspped.
Dr. Walter Linse. leading of- ficial of the anti-Communist free jurists association, is alleged to have been kidnapped by Commu- nists in July, 1952, and has not been heard of since—although re- ports last month said he had been
sentenced to death and sent to Russia. The declaration published by
ADN Tuesday quotes Trushnovich as saying: “l had to leave my home country 20 years ago because I did not agree with the condi- tions in Russia. For many years I was a member of various emigre organizations and eventually be- came one of the leading officials. “During extended travels through Europe. I became con- vinced that there is no future in these emigre organisations."
