IChurches in Berlin
Being Reopened With
Soviet Approval
BY EDDY GILMORE,
ssociated Press War Corresponden

BERLIN, June 10 Delayed -
Berlin's war-scarred churches are
being reopened for Protestant,
Catholic and Jewish worship with
Soviet approval. Arthur Werner, 3d.
year-old German educator and Rus
sian-appointed burgomeister of the
city, said today.
1T is very interesting" Werner
said in an interview, that three
weeks ago Col. Gen. Nikolai E. Be-
zarin, commandant of Berlin, told
me: Please educate the children of
this city so they will believe there
is God and have fear Of God"
The main difficulty in returning
religion to the people of Berlin ap-
pears to be the lack of places to
hold services. Most Of the churches
were wrecked. The Nazis took re-
fuge behind their fortress-like walls
and used their tall steeples for
sniping.
About 20 Churches Open.
Gen. Bezarin said about 20
churches, mostly Evangelical Lu-
theran, were open.
I'VE have the Red Army consent
and approval" Werner explained.
Il have appointed a Catholic priest,
Father Bucholtz, to the town coun-
Gil. He is in charge of the depart
ment of religion"
Father BucholtZ, the burgomeister
said, is former prisoner of the
Nazis. He was jailed with 1854 others.
many of whom were executed.
Werner said the priest himself mar
rowly escaped execution.
Werner said representation on the
town council as head of the re-
ligious department will rotate from
year to year among Catholics, Prot
estants and Jews.
! Werner estimated Berlin has 5000
Jews now and said more are return
ing every day. Among those have
met was a l6-year-old boy, Morris
Rosenthal who said his father was
killed in a concentration camp, but
that he has uncles. aunts and sew
eral cousins living in Philadelphia
Werner said his new town council
consists Of several persons who were
former prisoners of the Nazis, in
cluding the well-known anti-Nazi,
Otto Mark Geschke, who heads the
social department.
I'VE realize Naziism must be
stamped out" Werner said. Il be-
lieve most of the people believe this,
too, but. of course, we have some
isolated cases of Nazis still at work
and am afraid they will continue
their operations
"The population of Berlin, in my
opinion, is anti-Nazi. For instance
l only yesterday had two people
come to me to tell me there would
be attempts on my life. Now I have
six guards, two all the time. and
contrary to warnings I walk in my
| garden when 1 want to-"
Werner was more optimistic than
Gen. Bezarin on the opening OF
schools. predicting they would be
functioning this autumn Gen
Bezarin feels that printing new text
books-free of Goebbels' propaganda
will be such a job the opening
might have to be postponed.
Werner said transit was one of
Berlin's greatest problems, but added
the Red Army had donated 1000
trucks and buses for the people.
Berlin's downtown street car system
is not working yet, and the down.
town subway also is out of commits,
sion.

In the last Parliament, elected In

Progressive Conservatives were the
official opposition with 40, and the

London Charges Red,
Fail 10 Take Care Of
British Subjects
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 1.-THE British
Foreign Once last night sharply
denied Russian criticisms about
Allied treatment of liberated Soviet
nationals and countered with COM
plants about Russia's treatment Of
British subjects.
Everything possible was done for
the welfare and comfort" OF Rus
slams in Allied hands, the Foreign
Office said in statement replying
to criticism made recently by Col.
Gen. Golikov, Soviet Repatriation
Bureau chief.
On the other hand, the Foreign
ONCE charged. the Russians them
selves were taking inadequate care
of British subjects and blocking
British efforts to aid them.
There is no doubt" said the
Foreign ONCE, that conditions in
which the Soviet citizens are being
cared for compare more than favor
ably with those under which large
numbers of liberated British citi-
zens lived in Soviet-occupied terri
tory"
Statement Issued.
Pointing out evidence of the pres
ence of many Allied stragglers in
territories under Soviet control, the
Foreign ONCE said:
Some are in hospitals and others
are in need of medical attention
but all efforts to secure for British
repatriation officers the freedom OF
movement which would have en-
abled them to locate and care fol-
these men have throughout been
unavailing."
On the other hand, the British de-
clared. the Russians had been given
the fullest possible facilities" for
visiting Allied camps in Western
Europe, and at present 100 Soviet
officers are helping in repatriation.
LAS regards alleged slowness in re-
patriating Soviet citizens the FoS.
eign Office continued, "the fault lies
with the Soviet government. They
provided no ships whatever for this
purpose.
To Soviet charge that LIP Rus
slams were being kept in three camps
in the United Kingdom. the exist
ence of which had been kept from
Soviet authorities, the Foreign Once
said those camps were under Ameri-
can Army control and that the
Americans had told the Soviets all
about them last fall.
Propaganda Denied.
The Foreign ONCE said Gen. Coli
kov's claim that $40 Soviets were be-
ing held in another camp by British
authorities plainly referred Ito q
group of persons who claim they are
not Soviet citizens on grounds which
appear to British authorities to be
completely valid" namely, that they
are either Poles or Baltic nationals
The British also denied that anti
Soviet propaganda had been permit
ted in camp housing Russians in
Egypt. AS for Soviet charge that
Russian citizens were kept under
German guards in Norway after the
Nal surrender, the statement said
IN the circumstances there was re-
grettably no alternative but to re-
tain the existing organization OF the
camps for a few days in the interests
of the prisoners themselves.
