West Berlin Amazed
BY Response 10 Poll
In Communist Zone
375,7l2 Cast Votes
Against Red Rule
In Secret BoIIoting
BY the Assoeioied Press

BERLIN, Oct. 12.-More than
2 million West Berliners paid
silent tribute today to Germans
resisting Communist terror" in
the city's Soviet sector.
At noon sirens signaled two
minute silence throughout West
Berlin.
The tribute followed Mayor
Ernst Reuters announcement that
375,712 adult residents Of Rus
sian occupied East Berlin had
voted against Communism and for
democratic unification of the city
by mailing old ration cards as an
indication of their sentiments to
the Western city hall.
The jangle of street traffic died
away. Workers paused in the
factories. Western radio stations
vent silent.
Protest Against Terror.
i Mayor Reuter- said the silence
expressed our protest against
terror in the east, our unity with
brethren there and the will of
all citizens for free elections in
all Berlin"
The huge response in the mail
Ballot amazed even the most opti-
mistic nti-Communists. Swamped
by the ballots, which were ac-
cepted postage free at Western
mail boxes, authorities had to
hire 125 emergency tabulators.
Children's ration cards were ex-
cluded from the count, but they
alone ran into thousands. Two
Soviet control ration cards with
the names of Russian civilians
carried the pencilled inscription
Down with the U. S. S. r."
/ Heavy Psychological Blow.
The secret plebiscite apparently
was the heaviest psychological
blow to the Communist regime in
East Berlin since the lifting of
the Soviet blockade against the
Western sectors in 1949.
A jubilant West Berlin Assem-
bly, heard the mayor disclose the
final votes voluntarily mailed to
the city hall by East Berliners,
despite stern Russian warnings
The ballots were September
ration cards from which East Ber-
liners removed their names to
avoid possible identification by
Communist spies.
More than half the estimated
100000 enfranchised citizens of
the Soviet sector participated in
the secret poll conducted for
seven days by anti Communist
Western political parties.
Reward Offer Ignored.
Even after Communist authori-
ties announced they would give
an unexpected clothing ration to
holders of September cards, more
than 100000 poured into city hall.
The West defined the plebiscite
as: Cd Against Communist terror
sponsored by Russia and 90 for a
free democratic election to unity
divided Berlin.

DC. Housing Officials
Report DeadIine Rush
For Home Financing
$4,000 Applications
Filed Here in Final
Hours of Old Low
By Robert J. Lewis

District housing officials de-
scribed today a fantastic rush. of
builders yesterday to beat the
midnight deadline on the Govern
ment's new housing curbs.
Veterans Administration and
Federal Housing Administration
officials estimated that builders
had filed applications to assure
financing Of about $4,000 houses
under the old, more liberal terms,
Government mortgage financing
involved was estimated at as much
as $l20 million.
S500,OO0 Is Average.
An average days business prob
ably would show applications for
about so units calling for financ-
ing amounting to $500,00o. ~
The Governments new mort
gage credit curbs went into effect
at midnight last night. They were
designed to check imitation by re-
quiring greater down payments
and a shorter mortgage term.
Officials also indicated the dras-
tic new curbs also will lead to:
/. A great increase in the use OF
Government mortgage credit aids
and less use of on-Government-
aided loans by banks, building and
loan associations and other lend
ing institutions.
2. Construction of thousands OF
units of "co-operative" housing in
this area by private builders and
promoters who rushed their appli-
cations into the Federal Housing
Administration yesterday.
3. Construction of the bulk OF
next years housing in this area
by a relatively few big builders, q
marked reduction in the output OF
smaller builders, or even their
complete disappearance from the
housing field.
1900 Units Possible.
Officials pointed out that il
builders go ahead next year with
10000 units exempt from the new
credit curbs, plus the units which
they have not yet started but fol-
which financing previously was as
sured, they may be able to builo
as many as 1900 single family
houses in 1851 under the old, more
liberal credit regulations, plus
others which may be built under
the new regulations.
In contrast, District area build
ers produced $3.50 single family
units last year. So far this year,
12,840 single-family units have
been started.

Meanwhile, strange and awful
things had been happening in Santa
Land.
On this particular night Mrs.
Claus woke from a deep sleep.
Santa! Santa!" she cried, shaking
Santa's bed. There's something
bothering the reindeer. Listen!"
Santa, instantly wide awake, sat
up and listened. He heard mad
trampling In the stables. Santa
pulled on his boots and coat and
raced from the house. Lights went
on all over Santa Land. All the little
workers, wakened by the noise,
poured from their houses-some
still in their pajamas and night
gowns.
Marlowe, the sledmaker, ran by
Santa's side.
What do you think it is?" he
painted.
Don't know" said Santa. "Tie
your bathrobe around you. We
can't all be getting colds Just be-
fore Christmas"
At the stables they found the
reindeer skittering around their
stalls, rolling their eyes with fright,
and pounding the floor with their
hooves. While the brownies lit
lanterns, Santa went to the deer,
talking gently, soothing them.
Don't see anything the matter"
said Pudding. Guess the wind
frightened them"
"DaSher Has Gone"
Suddenly there was a cry from
the far end of the barn. Dewey,
the whistlemaker, burst from a
stall and shouted: "DaSher has
gone! Our very best deer has
gone!"
The little folk rushed to the stall.
1t was empty. They hunted through
the barn and the stable yard.
Dasher was nowhere to be found.
Santa stood silent and serious. The
workers gathered around him cry
ing, "Jindians again!"
And the workers shook with
fright. For weeks the Jindians had
been annoying the Santa Land
workers.
