Russians 'Sovietize'
AdministrativeAgency
Controlling East Zone

BERLIN, Nov. n CDN.-The
German Economic Commission-the
central German administrative
agency for the Russian-occupied
Eastern zone-has been transformed
into something very similar to the
"Soviets," or councils, on which the
Russian government was based
after the 1918 revolution.
Marshal VASTLY Sokolovsky, So
Wet military governor, ordered that
the commission, whose members
are now appointive, should be en-
larged from So to 101 persons dur
ing the next three weeks.
The commission was given the
special task. meantime, of study
ing the relationship of this enlarged
group to Berlin's own city govern
ment. The Russians contend Ber-
lin is an integral part of the Eastern
zone and not a separate power
city.
Follows Soviet Pattern.
The new commission follows the
pattern of RusSia's "Soviets." Not
only will it include elected repre-
sentatives of the five Eastern Ger
man provinces, but also representa-
tives of each Soviet-recognized po-
Ilitical party and each so-called
mass organization" such as trade
unions, consumers co-operatives
and youth groups.
Tie m Lou,, will ho or,,othipo lilo
this:
There will be 48 members chosen
by the !andtags legislatures of the
five provinces in the Soviet-occupied
zone, about one delegate for each
$50 900, inhabitants. All five legisla-
lures are under the Soviet thumb.
Is Represent Parties. -,
Fifteen others will directly repre-
sent the political parties of which
the SovietS now recognize five. Only
two of these parties have even faint
connections with the parties in the
three western zones of occupation.
There will be 10 persons chosen by
labor unions, youth groups, women's
organizations and similar agencies,
all of which are controlled closely,
in turn, by the Soviet-sponsored So
cialists Unity Party.
There will be % others who hold
appointive jobs with the present
Economic Commission and presum-
ably will continue to carry the main
burden of the actual administration.
AS can plainly be seen, it is not
an agency which is likely to get out
of hand or pass awkward legisla-
ton. Presumably, it will become
the German government" If Soviet
policy continues its present course

Agree on Breakdown.
The defense official refused any
comment on the division of the over
all plans among the Army, Navy and
Air Force. There has been a fight
between the Navy and Air Force
over division of the funds and the
budget conferences have gone over
several months. The joint chiefs
have reached an agreement on the
general breakdown, however.
Mr.. Forrestal has said there will
be adjustments" in the 70-group

that they would have to be fitted

Meanwhile, the Army, with a
strength of approximately $4,000
officers and men, awaited the final
budget decision before sending its
February draft quota to Selective

call will be either for $1,000 or 90

high Army officer said.

the Army and 1898 to the Air

Names of Reich Streets
'Denuzified' by British

BERLIN.-Nearly four years after
the war the occupying powers are
still "demilitarizing" and "denazify-

view of this process.

The new Washington and Lee
University stamp probably will be
of a design suggested by Senator
Robertson, Democrat, of Virginia.
The Post Office Department an
nounced last week it will issue April
II a Scent stamp commemorating

Senator Robertson, in urging such
a stamp, suggested to Postmaster
General Donaldson that 1t could

Washington and Gen. Lee on each
side of "a panel showing the white
doric columns of the administra-

A department official said such
a design would very likely be
adopted ....
Washington and Lee will be the
first school ever honored by the is
suance of a special stamp. Harvard
and Princeton tried and failed, aides
of Senator Robertson said.

Senator'S Design May Be Used
On w. & L. Memorial Stamps

Authority for the stamp came
from Mr.. Donaldson after Senator
Robertson said he would offer a bill
unless the department approved the
plan.
Senator Robertson wrote Mr.. Don
aldson that 'our nation has prob
ably honored Washington more
often and in more different ways
than 1t has any American citizen
but 1t has never honored him fol-
his educational work"
In my opinion" he added, "the
200th anniversary of Washing
ton and Lee, which has turned out
more public leaders in proportion
to its school enrolment than any
university or school in the Nation
would be most appropriate time
for our government to recognize
the contribution of Gen. WASH
ington and Gen. Lee to the
cause of higher education by the
issuance of q commemorative
stamp"

by the foreign ministers council

Russia bid for a trusteeship in

sideration. The foreign ministers

as little notice as possible OF Presi-
dent Truman's attacks on the COP
throughout the campaign.
Those who hold this view believe
the New York Governor will present
his own program to the voters while
other Republican minute-men argue
with Mr.. Truman.
1914 Campaign Recalled.
NeWsmen who covered the 1914
campaign recall that Gov. Dewey
began then also to present his views
calmly and dispassionately on So
cial security, farm problems and the
had gone more than half way in his
cross-counUry tour the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt had drawn him into
verbal slugging match.
This year, however, Republicans
ere so optimistic over their chances
of electing a President that veteran
observers on the sidelines here are
convinced Gov. Dewey will resist any
impulse to answer Truman speeches
directly, and thereby put himself in
a defensive role.
The decision to let Harold E. Stas
sen reply to Mr.. Truman's Detroit
speech gave the first inkling OF
Dewey strategy.
1t was apparent again yesterday,
when Senator Wherry of Nebraska,
acting Republican floor leader, lei
loose another blast at President Tru-
man in a press conference held just
after he had conferred with Gov.
Dewey on campaign plans.
Geography Favors Democrats.
Republican concern over the Sen
ate races this year grows out OF the
fact that the geographical location
of the seats at stake favors the Dem
ocrats. Only a third of the Senate
is elected at time, and this year II
of the 33 seats (two in louisiana
are in the Solid South, where Demo-
Gratis are sure to win. OF the re-
manning Senate contests several in
volve seats now held by Republicans
from border States-like Kentucky,
West Virginia and Oklahoma
where the normal trend is Demo-
cratic.
COP strategists are aware of this
situation, and, quite naturally, want
10 avoid the embarrassing conse-
quences that might ensue if they
succeeded in electing their first
President in 16 years only to have
him face Democratic Senate.
Ordinarily, when the voters are in
mood to change administrations
they do it all down the line. This
year, however, much of the Republi-
can optimism Is due to the Wallace
third party in the North, and the
States Rights revolt in the South
rather than to direct swing in
sentiment between the old parties.
And these defections could give the
Republicans a victory in the presi-
dental race, without having the
same effect in the senatorial con-
tests.
