WARSAW PACT FORCES TO BE WITHDRAWN FROM PRAGUE

MOSCOW, August 26 Soviet and allied occupying troops will be withdrawn from Czechoslovakia under an agreement between Soviet and Chechoslovak leaders here, Czechoslovak diplomatic sources reported tonight.

The sources said the talks were still continuing to work out a communique, which was expected to be discussed later tonight or tomorrow. The agreement was hammered out after four days of secret talks between the leaders.

Leaders of East Germany, Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria were also reported to have taken part in the discussions, but there was no official Soviet confirmation.

The Czechoslovak diplomatic sources said the Prague leaders had agreed to introduce control over the press to prevent the appearance of articles critical of the Soviet Union and other Communist countries.

All members of the Czechoslovak Government and Communist Party leadership, many of whom have been attacked as traitors, revisionists and aiders of counter-revolutionaries here in the past few days will be allowed to retain their posts, the sources said.

No official corroboration of the report was available from the Soviet Foreign Ministry or other Soviet sources. The Soviet troops which marched into Czechoslovakia together with units from East Germany, Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria will be withdrawn when“constitutional Government is consolidated ,” the sources added.
