On East Reich Regime
BY The Assoeiofsd Press

WARSAW, June 24.-The For
eign Ministers of Russia and
seven satellite countries we're
reliably reported today to be
putting the finishing touches to
plans to set up a separate gov
eminent in Eastern Germany.
One conference observer said that
would be their most likely answer
to the Western Allies proposed fed
eralization OF Western Germany.
This source added, however, that
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov
and his colleagues probably would
60 one step further than the West
ern powers.
If separate government is set
up, he said, it still, in the opinion
of Russia and her neighbors, would
be a government aimed at German
unity.
Leipzig has been mentioned as
the government center.
All Germans to Be Invited.
Conference observers who cannot
be named said the Eastern nations
would declare any government
formed to be open to all Germans
(The Western powers invited
the Russian zone to participate
in formation OF the German
government, but the Russians
turned down the bid)
Such a government would be ex-
pected to seek recognition by the
support Of German Communists In
the western occupation zones.
Thus Russia and her neighbors
could keep effective channels open
for spreading Communism and
waging Russia's own cold war
against the Western powers
German Communist Leader Will
helm PECK was reported attending
the conference.
Mr.. Molotov and the other min
listers motored over rainsWept ROADS

aggression"
