A resolution published in Buch-
Arrest by Scanteia, official organ

the party's organization bureau for
admitting hostile class elements
to party ranks.
The paper said party leaders

partments to supervise execution
of party directives in industry
commerce, agriculture and health.
This was interpreted as establish

Communist Germany
Revives Gestapo and.
Nazi Youth Group
BY fhe Associated Press

BERLIN, Feb. 9.-East Ger
many is to have its regimented
youth and an all-powerful Ges-
tapo, just as in the days of Hitler.
With an unquestioning raise of
hands the unist-controlled
Volkskammer peoples Chamber
yesterday passed two laws which
appear to roll the calendar back
to 1888.
One bill creates a new Ministry
of State Security to direct spe-
cial secret police force outside the
Ministry of Interior. This polit-
lcal force is to have unlimited
authority to arrest and imprison
any suspected enemy agents,
spies and saboteurs."
The other law virtually forces
some 100000 youths in the So
Wet zone of Germany to become
members of the FDJ-the Free
German Youth. They must join
if they want to participate in
even the most ordinary everyday
activities, including sports, GER
tain school work and the choice
of profession.
New Laws Acclaimed.
BY the language of the law the
Free German Youth becomes a
potential gigantic home spy ring
much like the Hitler Jugend in
which boys and girls were en-
couraged to betray even their
parents If they were anti-Nazi.
There was nothing but acclaim
and approval in the rubber stamp
Peoples Chamber, the legislative
body for the Russian n-backed
regime, after Deputy Prime Min
lister Walter Upright said the
youth organization would have as
its sacred duty" the deepening
of Soviet-German friendship and
anti-Americanism."
The new police bill was intro
duced by East Germany's Interior
Minister Karl Steinhoff, who said
1t was necessary because enemy
American agents" had threatened
peace and order in the Soviet
zone.
The force, modelled after Rus
sia's own secret police, the MVD.
may embrace vast network of
informers similar to that of Hit
ler's Gestapo.
Party Leaders Purged.
AS the bills were passed, West
German sources were reporting
an intensified purge among East
German minority party leaders
accused of failing to cooperate
sufficiently with the Communists.
Members of the Christian
Democrat and Liberal Democrat
Parties who held public posts in
Saxony. Brandenburg and Sach-
sen-Anhalt are said to have been
ousted and other key members
arrested.
At the same time the Red Army
newspaper 1aegllche RunQSchau
reported that 127 East German
agents of American imperialists"
had been caught In acts of sabo-
tage. This report has been termed
by Western officials a Soviet
smokescreen to hide discomfort in
the East German zone.
Political tension in divided Ber-
lin was accentuated yesterday
when Socialists staged an anti
Communist rally in West Berlin,
just at the border of the Russian
sector.

many from the Eastern sector
