Communist Big Push
In Germany Expected
In Spring Of 1949
Nv tho Associotsd Press

FRANKFURT, Nov. 25.-Ameri-
can Military Government officials
express belief that the Communists
big push against Western German
economic recovery will begin next
spring.
Odicials who follow trends closely
say the Communists are in no posi-
tion to sabotage German recovery
now.
They give two reasons:
Socialist labor leaders firmly con-
troll most of the key trade unions.
The Communists are concerned over
the loyalty of many party members.
As a result, these officials say, the
Cominform has ordered Western
Germany's Communist leaders to
concentrate on Tightening the party
machinery.
Objective Outlined.
The objective Is to weld the 800 900
party members into militant force
poised to:
/. Attack the European recovery
program in a vital area-the Ruhr.
2. Spring into action as shock
troops" if the United States, Britain
and France should withdraw, leav-
Ling control in German hands.
The drive to strengthen the party
in the three Western zones centers
around a wide educational" pro-
gram, American officials say.
All members except the top heir
archy are receiving basic course
in Marxist principles, designed to
instill answering allegiance to
party orders. g.. Il.
Attendance at night classes" for
instruction in Communist theology
is compulsory.
Quite a number" of party func-
tionaries are being expelled, these
officials state. Some have quit.
Membership Rules frightened.
Membership requirements have
been drastically frightened. This re-
verses the mass enrolment policy
of Z l945-47 when one-seventh Of
Communist voting strength carried
party cards.
The Communists are now work.
| ing intensively rather than extern
sively in Western Germany" said
one official.
Funds for this program and other
Communist activities are flowing to
the party through neighboring
countries, possibly Switzerland and
Czechoslovakia, say these officials.

the Russian zone. 1t is smuggled

across the American and British
2onal borders. (Since the Soviets
banned distribution Of Westeru-n-
censed newspapers in the Russian
zone, American officials have pro-
hibited importation Of Soviet-u-
censed newspapers and publications
into the American zone)
American officials estimate the
Communists have $4,000 to 100000
dues-paying members in the Ameri-
can zone, 10000 to 175,000 in the
British zone and perhaps $4,000 in
the French zone.
