German General Staff
Formed in East Reich,
Adenauer Declares
BY the Associated Press

BONN, Germany, Oct. 19.-The
Communist rulers of East Ger
many are forming a new General
Staff and plan to start drafting
all youths over 1S for military
training soon, the West German
government charged last night.
A government announcement
declared the Communist aim is to
boost the manpower of the mill
tarized East German Peoples Po-
lice and conquer West Germany
by force.
The West German Ministry of
Alderman Affairs, which keeps
watch on developments in the
Russian-occup East zone, esti-
mated that Peoples Police will
number 100000 by the end of 1850
and that the reported conscrip-
ton plan would add 10000
youths year. A separate East
German air force probably will
be created by the spring of 1851.
the ministry added.
Adenauer Seeks Force.
West German Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer has sought permis-
sion Of the United States, Britain
and France to create a West
German force to counter the po-
lice detachments across the bor-
der. Allied authorities have
described the East German force
as an Illegal army. formed in
violation of Big Four agreements
to keep the Germans demilitarized.
The part West Germany will play
in West Europe's defense setup
is still under discussion.
However Maj. Gen. George P.
Hays deputy American high COM
missioner, denied yesterday that
American officials and the West
German government plan to Gre
ate German military units. He
also denied that West Germany
is producing war weapons.
Gen. Hays obviously referred to
charges by Pastor Martin Niemoel-
Ter last Sunday that military units
are being organized and "remili-
tarization of West Germany is
going on full blast" Pastor Me
moeller is among West German
figures opposing rearmament.
Draft Order Predicted.
West German officials declared
a draft order will be one of the
first official acts of the new East
German Communist government,
chosen last Sunday in a one-slate
election. .
A report by the Alderman
Affairs Ministry said:
The east zone Interior Min
tstry has been working since
April on the draft of a compulsory
training law. Under this law, all
youths over 18 years will be SUBJ
ject to compulsory training.
The former chief of the Peo-
pies Police, DR.. CKurt) Fischer,
announced at a meeting of hign
east zone officials shortly before
his death June 22) that revo-
lutionary measures regarding the
police will be made. He said
that, Immediately after the Oc-
tober elections, the introduction
of compulsory service will have to
be prepared
In report to newspapermen.
the Alderman Affairs Ministry
said the reported new general
staff was to direct a peoples
army"
The dangers in the creation of
a peoples army are serious" the
ministry said. Systematic rein
forcement of the Communist po-
lice. their arming and political
training indicate clearly the men
who control the Soviet zone ex-
pect to conquer West Germany

Both the f1ve-day week pro-
posal and the investigation petit
ton were referred to the Police

further study and the federation
took no further action on either
