Czech Police Arrest Western Agents Vienna (U.R) Communist Czech police have arrested "sev eral large groups of Western agents" engaged in espionage for "certain foreign power s," Prague Radio said Saturday. The broadcast said the agents were "acting on the orders" of the foreign powers, but it nam ed neither the powers nor the suspected spies. It's illegal,' Barry said. "All in Libertyville street banners are illegal." But the burst of local pride and enthusiasm which had help ed hoist the banner was not eas ily squelched not even by the village president. Berry instructed a policeman to haul down the offending sign, but the businessmen wouldn't stand for that. They tugged back on a wire to keep the banner fly ing while the policeman pleaded with them to let go. A truce was finally agreed up on, and Berry called a special meeting of the village board. However, only one village offi cial showed up in contrast to 60 townspeople. The meeting was postponed until Tuesday. Once things had quieted down a policeman lowered the sign. i EAGLE POINT.
