West Expected 10 Ask
General Election in
|A|| Sectors Of Berlin
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

BERLIN. July 6.-The Western
powers will ask . general election
for all Berlin when the COM
mandants Of the four occupation
powers renew formal consultations
on the divided city, an American
official predicted today.
An order from the four deputy
military governors of Germany in
structed the commandants to meet
and carry out the decision of the
Paris Foreign Ministers Confer
ence to "normalize" Berlin's life.
Russian Criticism Expected.
Allied sources were doubtful
that Soviet Maj. Gen. Alexander
Kotikov would be empowered by
his government to discuss a city
election.
They said they expected. how
ever, that Gen. Kotikov would at
tack the little occupation statute"
which the Western Allies an
nounced for West Berlin May Il.
Under its terms, the West Berlin
government is now drafting a new
municipal constitution.
Allied officials expressed con-
fidence that in a free city wide
election the Soviet sponsored
Socialist Unity (Communist) Party
would not get more than 10 per
cent Of the votes.
First Session Likely Friday.
The French commandant, Brig.
Gen. Jean Ganeval. was expected
to notify the other three COM
mandants today of the date of
their first meeting, possibly Friday.
The Allied view is that this
would not be q revival Of the old
four power Kommandatura, which
ruled the city as a unit with the
Russians frequently exercising veto
rights.
But it was admitted that steps
might be suggested to bridge the
political and economic abyss be-
tween the Eastern and Western
sectors.

the present operations of the Post

concerning the Post Office De-
partment took the members of
the committee somewhat by sur
prise. even though they were
aware of the Hoover Commits

the department..
Outside of perhaps parcel post
and special delivery increases. Mr..
Hoover said. no major postal rate
increases should be authorized by
Congress until the department
overhauls its present accounting
system and the other phases of its
operation. He declared that,
under the present system, there
was no way to determine just in
what manner the department was
incurring a deficit.
NAVY-The Navy Department
is expected, within the next 10
days. to issue its new order modi-
flying its previous stand against
employes and SUPER
