Russians Deny Firing
On AP Correspondent
By the Assoeioted Press

BERLIN, Dec. 13.-The Russians,
through their official Soviet News
Bureau (SNB), sought to deny today
that one of their soldiers fired on an
American correspondent Thursday
as they were preparing to blow up
Adolf Hitlers air-raid shelter The
Russians said there were no Russian
troops present.
This claim was in direct contra
diction of officially authorized ac-
counts of the blasting published yes
terday in two Russian controlled
newspapers, the Berliner Zeitung
and Der Morgen. These papers
stated the demolition was conducted
by "a commando group of the Red
Army"
An SNB claim that the demolition
was conducted by civilians also was
denied by officials at two German
police headquarters-the main pre-
sidium in the Russian sector of the
city and the local station No. l for
Central Berlin. Germans in charge
at both places said the operation
was conducted by Russian troops.
The Russians shot was fired at

Talk about taxpayers would then

Charges Aggressive Aims.
Quite another state of affairs Is
taking shape at the present time.
Even elementary conditions are not
being provided at present for the
restoration of German industry and
consequently the daily increasing
foreign debts of the Western part
of Germany are placing Germany
in position of complete dependence
on other countries, especially on the
United States of America, where no
little power is welded by those who
are not at all concerned with the
German people but who would like
to use Germany or at least her
Western part for their expansionist
aims and as a strategic base for
aggressive plans of this kind.
The separation of the Western
part of Germany from the rest of
Germany-while again and again
we are confronted with new meas
ures undertaken with this end In
VieW-giVes free hand to those
who are anxious to lord it in the
West.
The German question could be
solved only by the preservation of
the economic and political unity of
Germany. For this purpose the Ger
man economic departments should
be created forthwith as a nucleus
OF government for the whole of
Germany. To this end it is neces-
sary already now to proceed forth
with to the establishment of a
German advisory council composed
of representatives of the Lands, the
democratic parties of the whole of
Germany and also of representatives
OF free trade unions and other large
aatl-Nasl organiza tions.
In that case there would be some
one who could be asked what the
Germans themselves think about
any particular economic aid to Ger
many, about the acceptahility of the
terms OF foreign credits to be given,
about the necessity for importing
any particular foreign goods, ct
cetera. In this case timely fulfill
ment Of Germany's reparation OBJ
legations would also be insured.
The day before yesterday it was
argued here that the Germans
should repay foreign credits before
reparations. 1t goes without saying
that these claims are gfoundless and
unjust.
A Soviet delegation insists that
the question of reparations be set
tied without delay, in accordance
with the Yalta and Petsdam agree
ments.

HerwIg Gets Final Decree

the rehabilitation of the peacetime
branches of German industry
should not be hampered.
Under the American plan 1T Is
proposed further to render so-called
financial aid" in the coming year
to the extent of $1,150, 600, 900 and
hence again the Germans are not
being asked whether the terms of
these new credits are acceptable to
them. And since the industry in the
western zones is not being developed
the Germans have no possibility of
paying back these credits.
The German debt in the western
zones will soon reach several mil
lizards (billions) Of dollars. For the
German people these obligations will
be harder to bear than any repara-
tions. Unless the hampering of in
dustry and the disintegration of idle
industrial equipment are brought
to an end, as long as the debts con-
tinue to increase, an unbearable
burden of foreign debt will fall on
the shoulders of the Germans.

Says We Burden Germans.

At the present time It Is not only
the food Western Germany needs
that Is being brought from the
United States. Kitchen utensils
and beds, cleansing liquid and mops,
as well as wine and cakes, are being
brought in. There are, Of course,

deliveries from the western zones
while the level of industry In the
Joint Anglo American zone reaches
only to 35 per cent of the 1888 level
From the Soviet zone of Germany
current reparation deliveries are
taking place and the level of In
dustry there has already reached 81
per cent of the 1898 level. Thus the
index of industrial output for the
Soviet zone, although conditions
there for the rehabilitation of in
dustry are more difficult, exceeds
one and half times the index OF
industrial output of the Anglo
American zone.
1t follows that reparations deliv-
cries, far from hindering the re-
habilitation of industry, facilitate
this rehabilitation. Indeed, the So
Wet authorities in the Eastern zone
of Germany are making every effort
to assist the rehabilitation of Ger
man peacetime industry. A differ
ent policy is being pursued by the
Anglo-American and French au-
thorities in their zones.
Speaks of Policy on Industry.
The question arises, what policy
should be pursued in respect OF
German industry, bearing in mind
the fact that under no circum-
stances should we allow the resto-
ration of war industry?
One policy is to set the develop
nent of peaceful industry in mo-
ton so as to increase industrial
production in the Western zones
from 35 per cent to at least 10 per
cent OF the 1888 level; i.e., to raise
the level of reconstruction to double
that reached to date In the Anglo
American zone. In this case the
ALLEGATION Of 10 per cent for current
reparation deliveries will leave the
Germans with 90 per cent Of pro-
duction instead of the present y
