Action Is Rejoinder
To Creation of West
German Government
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Mar. 19.-The Com
munist-controlled peoples Coun-
Gil" adopted today . constitution
for the 100000 Germans living
under Soviet rule.
The 400-man body-established
by the Soviet-picked politicians OF
Eastern Germany - ru b bel r
stamped a basic law embodying
Communist principles for the en-
tire Russian zone and also the
Russian sector of Berlin. The vote
was unanimous.
The action was taken as re-
joinder to the Western German
government being established at
Bonn.
Split Nearly Complete.
Prof. Hermann KaStner, CO.
chairman of the Peoples Council
declared the action was lone of
the most important and decisive
IN German history.
1t made the partition of Ger
many virtually complete.
Wilhelm PECK, co-chairman OF
the Communist Social Unity (SED)
Party, told the Council that "a
serious political situation grips
Germany. He blamed it on the
West, charged that the West had
prevented a 'just peace treaty"
Obviously hitting at the Atlantic
Pact, he said the West had adopt
ed recent measures aiming at a
new war"
PECK instructed the party to
issue a call for a full meeting OF
the Peoples Congress. This is a
2,000-man body which sits as a
parliament to approve the DEGREES
handed down by the SED Polit-
buro and the council.
Date of Session Unannounced.
The Congress probably will be
given the new constitution for its
sanction. Date for the meeting
was not Immediately disclosed.
The Communists are linked with
splinter elements of the Christian
Democrats, Social Democrats and
Liberal Democrats, in these con-
crosses and councils to give them
a facade of unity. The parent
parties disown the splinter groups,
however.
In the announcement on the
constitution, the Communist lead
ers asserted that "the German
people must be enabled to have a
constitution out of their own re-
sponsibility' and that "a united
Germany must be the principle
and the law"

Berlin Goes on Spree
OF Buying as Currency
Revision Is Forecast
Western Powers Expected
To Holt East Marks Use
In City Tomorrow
By the Assoeioied Press

BERLIN, Mar. 19.-An impend-
ing new move in Berlin's currency
war sent West Berliners off on a
buying spree today.
Authoritative sources said the
United States, Britain and France
will halt the use of Soviet-Spon-
sored East marks in their block
AIDED sectors of Berlin tomorrow
and make the West German mark
the only legal currency.
So West Berliners rushed to get
rid of their East marks.
A counter move by the Russians
also was rumored. The British
licensed newspaper, Mittags Echo
said the Russians will issue new
money next Wednesday to replace
the nine-month-old East mark in
their entire occupation zone as
we'll as in East Berlin.
The report was denied by the
finance chief of the East German
Economic Commission, but it ad-
ded to the confusion.
Ever since last June's currency
reform, when the Russians ano
the Western Allies issued rival new
currencies for their areas. both the
Soviet East mark and the Alliec
West mark have circulated ir
West Berlin.

powers decided to make clear
break in the money tug-of war
They won't outlaw the East mark
like the Russians did the West

ABOARD U. S. s. EDISTO, Mar.
19.-This ship yesterday felt its
way through an ice pack extending
from horizon to horizon and
ranging from 10 to 20 feet thick.
It is sometimes necessary to
sail 20 miles east to go five miles
west. The art of negotiating an
ice pack consists largely OF find
ing areas of relatively thin ice
through which the ship can move
at reasonable speed.
Advantage is taken of one OF
these paths regardless of direc-
ton in the hope that sooner or
later it will branch off on the
right course. Otherwise progress
might be greatly reduced r'halt-
ed together by mountainous ice
ridges.
