East Berlin Police Arrest American 61 - Berlin-U.R) The U; S. Army announced today that an Amer ican soldier was arrested by Communist police yesterday aft er a minor traffic accident in East Berlin. He still is missing. The army identified the soldier as M. Sgt. Mike Kliman of Brooklyn. Authorities asked the Russians today to return Kliman. He was last seen at about 10:30 p.m. yesterday when East Berlin "people's police" took him to East Berlin Police Headquarters. It was the second time since the East -Germans began insist ing on "sovereignty" in East Berlin that an American soldier has been arrested. Earlier this month, two GIs were arrested and accused of beating a cabaret actor in the Soviet zone of the city. They were returned to Army control by the Russians despite the East German claims that they should have been tried in East German courts. The arrest of Kliman raised the question of whether the East Germans will exercise their "sov ereignty," which the West does not recognize, by trying the soldier. They threatened last week to try Americans after a U. S. Army court martial ac quitted the two men accused of manhandling the actor.
