"I shined the light completely around inside the capsule," he said, "and I couldn't see anything except burnt wires hanging down. I told the man on the headset, There's no one in there.'

Repeatedly the East Germans have urged a detente in Europe which would enable them to establish diplomatic ties with the NATO powers.
