US. Reaffirms Ban on Reds
AT Military Exhibitions
Rx the Associntad Press

The United States is adhering to
a policy, first adopted month ago,
of banning Russian Embassy mill
tary attaches from demonstrations
of American weapons or tactics. The
ban is in retaliation for Russian
treatment of American observers.
Army officials were asked about a
Moscow dispatch yesterday saying
the United States attaches had not
been invited to a parade of Soviet
troops because Russian officers here
were not included among foreign
attaches invited to witness a recent
demonstration of aviation, airborne
troops and air supply at Fort Ben
ming, Ga. ....-
The Army confirmed the report.
The Fort Benning demonstration
followed by about month an ex-
hibit at the Army's Aberdeen, Md,
proving ground-a show from which
the Russians also were excluded.
At the time the Army said officially
that the matter of inviting foreign
observers was entirely reciprocal
and that Soviet officers were not
taken TO Aberdeen because American
observers in Russia had been ex-
cluded from military demonstrations
there.

British in Reich Spurn
j. ). Anti-Red Drive
BY the Associated Press

Dusseldorf, Germany, Nov
8.-British occupation zone officials
have quietly circulated a directive
to British military government Of
ficers not to join the American
zones anticommunism campaign in
Germany, it was learned today.
The British position, as expressed
by one officer, is that ATTACKS on
communism would be indistinguish-
able from attacks on Russia"
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, the American
military governor, recently an
nounced policy under which
Americans in Germany would reply
to Communist accusations with q
positive Communist campaign
The British informant, indicat-
ing that Britain would hold to the
more passive policy at least through
the November conference in London
of the Council of Foreign Ministers
explained in this way the difference
in the British and American view
points:
IF the Communists say the Amer
leans are responsible for the lack of
a unified Germany, the Americans
say they are not, but that the Com
munists are responsible. If the
Communists say the British are re-
sponsible for the lack of unity, we
simply say that we are not-period. u
