PEOPLE SWARM ID BRIDCEHEAD AREA
Civilians Eager to Escape From Disturbances In

CUbIeqz, Thursday. March 6.---C5y The Associated Press. )---Tyhe disturb ances an Berlin and other parts of unoccnried Germany have resulted in such an increase in the number of civilians eager to reach the bridge head area where conditions are nor nal that the American forces of Oc- cJrpation have been compelled to take steps to prevent Germans from all parts of the country overTunning the occupied zone along the GShipe-
 Within the last few days, since the strike began in Berlin, the number of applicantes desiring to reach Coblenz or other parts of the American dis trtot has more than doubled the mum Der of the previous week. To prevent civilians coming in merely to take ad- vantage of the food situation and to get away from the Centers of disturb ance the American authorities have had to tighten up permit privileges Only those desiring to travel on urg- ent business or returning to their homes win be allowed to pass within the American occupied area
 Tho Germans within the occupied Eone are already laying their plans for the days after the Americans have withdrawn. For instance, ap- phcattoDs were made recently for tho private holding of public meetings to urge the organization of volunteer forces to take over affairs when the Americans left the district. These ap- picafaons. however, were denied to- day by the Third Army officials. The Germans were planning to organize small forces in various districts, these forces to act as guards and do police duty when the time came for the army of occupation to start for home. The applications were denied on the ground that meetings of this kind were prohibited by the orders forbid ding any organized enemy forces within the bridgehead limits
