First explanation of the week-old

agency published a summary of
the protest, which it said was de-

confirmed they had received the
protest and said it was "under

Trussov said "the ruling and
safeguarding of traffic” along the
autobahn were the exclusive privi-
lege of Soviet military authorities
by virtue,of a Soviet-British-Amer-
