I0ffer Rich Rewards
For West Reich Aid
By the Associated Press

BERLIN, Aug. 22.-Russia's new
campaign to win Western Ger
many from the Allies rolled ahead
today with top propagandists
warning of the horrors of war for
anti Communists, but Offering
multi-million dollar economic re-
wards for collaborators.
Soviet-controlled press and
radio networks in East Germany
sought to focus the attention of
66 million Germans on both sides
of the Elbe frontier on the ma
tional Congress" which meets
here Friday and Saturday to
speak for all Germany"
The Congress will indorse a
program of national resistance"
against the western powers and
their illegal intervention troops"
Russians Change Tactics.
The shift of Communist tactics
from mere vocal opposition to
open resistance was announced
last month under the impact of
the Korean war at the annual
convention of the Socialist Unity
(Communist) Party, the Krem-
Inns chosen political instrument
in Germany.
Gerhardt Eisler, Soviet zone
propaganda chief and fugitive
from United States prosecution,
summed up the claims of the
national congress" in a bitter
statement in Berlin today.
This body. handpicked by Com
munists in closed meetings in
East and West Germany, will
number about 5000 delegates
allegedly half of them from the
Allied zones.
Membership is open to "all pa
triotic Germans" But the ma
chinery of the congress is entirely
in the hands of the Socialist
Unity Party's Politburo, led by
the former Moscow expatriate,
Walter Ulbright. East German
deputy premier.
Units Ordered to Attend.
Eisler said the Congress, through
its National Front" would fight
against "the splitting of Ger
many, the establishment of (West
German mercenary armies, the
degradation of the (West Ger
mani economy as an armament
hanger-on of American war
makers, and the unleashing of war
on German soil, which is the
American way"
The politburo ordered all Com
munist-controlled trade unions,
the Free German youth,p and
other mass organizations to ap-
pear at huge rally Friday aft
ernoon at East Berlin's Lustgar-
ten.
Strong West Berlin police de-
tachments will be on the alert to
prevent Red demonstrators from
marching into Allied sectors.

Bookie Held 50 Times
Without Being Jailed
Faces Brooklyn Jury
BY the Associu,ed Press

NEW YORK, Aug. PA tall
natily- dressed bookmaker was held
in $25, 900 bail today after Brook
lyn racket investigators called him
a big time operator who often was
arrested but never jailed.
The bookie, Mike Hackmeyer,
43. was held as a material witness
after he went before a Brooklyn
anti-gambling grand jury.
Assistant District Attorney
Joseph P. Hoey said Hackmeyer
could have told the jury plenty
about syndicate gambling In
Brooklyn, but wouldn't.
Mr.. Hoey called him "a big time
operator" with record of so ar
rests and IA convictions.
He has never spent a day in
JAIL" Mr.. Hoey told Kings County
Judge Samuel S. Leibowitz.
How is that possible? Do you
wish to tell me?" asked Judge
Leibowitz.
II don't know just don't
know" replied Hackmeyer.
Hackmeyer went on to describe
himself as never more than a
corner bookmaker" who always
worked alone or with a partner
never for a syndicate.
He insisted there's not a thing
in the world" he can tell the
district attorneys office or the
grand jury.
Judge LeibowitZ put a number
Of other questions to Hackmeyer
and finally told him:
II don't believe you and neither
would any one else with a spoon
full of brains. This is an aggra-
waiting case"
The grand jury returned to its
gambling investigation for the
first time since August 2.
They had been forced to turn
aside from gambling to look into
charges by Mayor William
O'Dwyer that District Attorney
Miles F Mcdonald was conduct
ing a witch hunt"
Mayor O'Dwyer was angry at
McDonald's attempt to discover if
police officers were mixed up in
gambling rackets in Brooklyn.
The grand jury reported the
mayors charges unfounded and
gave MIR. Mcdonald a go-ahead
sign for his gambling inquiry.

The strike of textile workers

The strike began March 28 in

said the work force now totals
more than TOO, the number of

ing the day amendments were
voted to deal specifically with
prices for fluid milk not subject
to Federal marketing area agree
mentS and for certain kinds of
tobacco. Last week the Senate
had adopted an amendment to
require a fair margin of profit
on each segment of meat produc-
ton.
Standby Authority Given.
President Truman originally
asked Congress only for authority
to allocate scarce materials at
the industrial level. to requisition
property for defense purposes at
fair compensation, to control all
forms of credit and to make loans
to defense industries. All of these
powers are in both the House and
Senate bills.
The President did not ask for
control over wages, retail prices
or the power to ration, and has
said he does not regard these steps
as necessary at this time.
