WASHINGTON, May 13 -W- A
note demanding a mass ouster of
Czechoslovak diplomats from the
United States has been drafted at
the state department. '.
The demand is expected to be
given, the communist Czech gov
eminent in the immediate future
in retaliation for the ejection from
Czechoslovakia- of two-thirds of
the American diplomats there.
If the United States acts on the
same two-thirds scale, it will mean
about 20 of the more than SO
Czech diplomatic employes in this
country will have to get one-way
tickets home. State department
officials said there were about 67
U. S. diplomatic employes in the
embassy at Prague and tne con
sulate at Bratislava.
Officials said the contemplated
slash here which is subject only
to a final approval by top state
department officials would re
sult not only in a reduction of the
five-man staff at the embassy in
Washington but also in the closing
of one or more of" three Czech con
sulates, operating in New York,
Pittsburgh and Cleveland.
The Prague government cracked
down on the U. S. diplomatic and
consular missions following the
trial and conviction of six Czechs
on spy charges.- The defendants
gave the communist court testimony-that
four embassy officials
had organized and aided spies.

Chavez said he still regarded
Budenz as a communist.

he testified three weeks ago. Bud
enz asserted that Lattimore, a far

had been a member of a commun
ist cell and had been referred to
by party leaders asva communist.
Lattimore denied it ,
"I speak as a Roman Catholic,'
Chavez said, adding:
"Budenz has been speaking with
special emphasis as a Catholic, in
vesting his appearances and utter

virtue of the fact that he recently
went through the forms of con
version to Catholicism. -
"My ancestors brought the cross
to uus hemisphere. Louis Budenz
has been using this cross as i
