Russian Bloc CHARGES
Allies Prepare 10 Bar
Settlement on Berlin
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Nov. 25.-High-ranking
Soviet bloc sources charged to-
day that the Western powers are
preparing to wreck a Berlin
settlement to further their mill
tary plans in Europe.
This was Eastern Europe's unoff1-
eial reply to recent comments from
Western sources that there is little
hope of success for current efforts
to end the Berlin crisis.
The accusations came from in
formantS close to the Russian dele
cation and its satellites in the
United Nations General Assembly.
Those who commented refused to
permit themselves to be identified
by name or nationality.
Three Objectives Charged.
These Eastern diplomatic sources
asserted in interviews that the
United States, Britain and France
seem bent on throwing away any
chance of a Berlin accord so that,
under cover of heightened tension

achieve these objectives:
l. Push the projected North At
lantic defense pact through the
United States Congress.
g. Launch a program for rearm-
ing Western Europe.
3. Establish United States military
bases at key continental points.
One Eastern European diplomat,
who is in frequent contact with
Andrei Y. Vishinsky. Deputy Soviet
Foreign Minister and chief of the
Russian U. N. delegation, said:
The Western powers do not want
q Berlin agreement. They have,
in effect, repudiated the accord
reached in Moscow August 30.
They have, in fact, rejected the
plea, proposed by Herbert v. Evatt
of Australia. president of the AsA
sembly, and U. N. Secretary General
Trygve Lie, to. the Big -Four to
begin immediate negotiations.
Allied Pessimism Cited.
They are now claiming the polit-
ical situation in Berlin Is 'deteri-
Grating. Yet they have always
claimed the situation there was bad
"a threat to peace. They have al
ways claimed there are, in effect.
two cities. Surely the settlement of
existing differences would improve,
not worsen. the general atmosphere.

last week, has not been admitting
any patients eligible for care at
Gallinger whose conditions permit
them to be sent there This step
was taken, officials said, because
the hospital no longer could afford
to assume losses for such patients
Col. N. L. McDiarmid, admins
traitor at Columbia. said he thought
his hospital had made one claim,
but officials at the permit bureau
said they had no record of it. The
administrator added, however. he
doubted that, under the present
policies, the hospital would get
enough return from the city to JUS
tify setting up machinery for re-
porting the few emergency cases
at his hospital that would be eligible
for payment.
All the claims from George Wash
ington during the three months,
officials said, were for clinic visits.
Under the contracts, the District
will pay up to SO for each day of
bed care and So for each clinic pa
tient accepted by the private hos
pitfalls and certified as eligible by
the pc timruau. brf1o, oftoNNN
the permit bureau.
At Gallinger, meanwhile, officials
have been forced to move extra beds
into some of medical and surgery
wards to accommodate the large
number of patients.
1875 Surgery Patients.
One day this week, for example,
the hospital had 1875 surgery pa
tients with 251 beds available in
the service. About so of the beds
are on a floor used only two days
a week for tonsil and adenoid
operations, officials said.
Hospital records showed that on
the medical service the same day,
there were 254 patients with 1853
beds available. Sixteen of these
beds are not available for normal
use. Records showed that the aver
age daily bed occupancy last year
was only 1856 for the service.
officials pointed out that despite
the high bed occupancy, generally
for these medical and surgical
patients, some wards are more
crowded than others because it is
necessary to separate patients by
race and sex. Further separation
must be made for certain types of
