To Bo Recalled, However;

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 —
(AP) — Secretary of State
Acheson said today spy charg-
es brought by Czechoslovak-
ia’s Communist Government
against U. S. Embassy em-
ployes in Prague are “obvi-
ously trumped up.”
I He announced, however, that the
I united States had “acceded to the
request’* to withdraw two accused
American diplomata and their as-
signmenu in Prague. He said that
the embassy is attempting to »ee
a third American representative,
who lacked diplomatic status and
who waa imprisoned Friday by the
Czech government on spy charges.
The two regular diplomata whose
recall the Csechs demanded on 24
hour notice an? John G. Heyn, as-
alstant attache in the political de-
partment, and Isaac Patch, the po-
litical attache. The man thrown
into prison is Samuel Meryn, em-
bassy clerk, who has been held in-
communicado since Friday.
Acheson disclosed that tte State
Department is preparing what he
called a communication—evidently
a strong note of protest—to be de-
livered to the Cxech government but
he said that no protest bad been I
made yet.
The government’s efforts, he said,
have been directed toward getting
an embassy representative into j
prison to see Meryn.
