For Reich Red Zone
BY the Associoted Press

BERLIN, Nov. 26.-The Ameri-
can-sponsored Neue Zeitung de-
clared today that the Russians have
made preparations for establishing
separate central government for

The Neue zeitung, official Ger
man-language newspaper OF the

gave its report in a special full
page account of the situation in
the eastern zone"
German Spirits at Low Ebb."
It asserted also:
l. That the spirits Of the Ger
man people in the Communist-ruled
Eastern zone have sunk to the
lowest ebb since the occupation be-
gan" partly because of reports that
if the London conference ends In
deadlock, the zone will be bound
into the Soviet orbit.
2. The economy of the zone has
reached a critical stage" with in
dustry on its last reserves, but
despite this the Russians are TAX
ing increasing preparations and de-
manding still more production from
the Germans.
Charge Denied in Paper.
The Neue Zietungs report that
an East zone central government
was planned was denied by Col
Sergei Tulpanov, political chief OF
the Soviet military administration
in the Taegliche Rundschau.
The Rundschau reiterated previ-
Gus charges that the Americans ano
British have completed plans to di.
vide Germany permanently through
establishment of a Western German
government.
It devoted most Of its four-page
edition to attacks on the American
and British administration in Ger,
many, including a long article which
attempted to represent the American
Military Government as a branch
of Wall Street.
Cabinet Discussed by Reds.
The American controlled newspa.
per said Russian officials had helo
discussions with German politicians
for laying the groundwork OF ar
eastern zone cabinet for months
This cabinet would include a for.
eign minister, the paper said, and II
named numerous eastern zone Ger
mans who we're considered fol
portfolios.
The political situation in the
eastern zone as the London Confer
ence meets is marked by hopeless
ness and despair of the people" II
said. 1t reported general dissatis-
faction with the ruling regime (the
Communist dominated Socialist
Unity Party).
Continuing labor drafts to obtain
more workers for Russian uranium
mines in Saxony, the Zeitung said
represent "a further inexhaustible
