U.S. officers concealed the affair nit it leaked out Thursday night. The Army in Germany still had ssued no official information today, although the State Department released a sketchy account Washington. Army spokesmen said (hey could not confirm reports that Col. Ernest von Pawel, head of the U.S.

iaison mission with the Soviet 'orces in East Germany, would make a protest to Gen. Ivan Yak- ubovsky, the Soviet commander in Sast Germany. The car was an olive-drab sedan of the liaison mission stationed at Potsdam, a suburb in East Germany southwest of Berlin. Two U.S. officers in it were touring nearby areas of East Germany.

A well-informed source said the two officers encountered a Soviet train at a grade crossing. Soviet soldiers, apparently recognizing the car's big yellow license plates, opened fire. Although the source admitted the officers had been observing the train, he insisted they were not in a restricted area and were fully within their rights. The source called the Soviet shooting irresponsible. The secrecy thrown around the incident was designed to minimize its importance, American officials said, because the shooting had no connection with current tensions over Berlin.

They said publication of the news exaggerated its importance.
