Red Plan Reported Sci
oCreale East German
Army Of Is Divisions
Washington, D. C.
SUNDAY. APRIL 2a, 1851
By the Associated Pres. .

BERLIN, April 21.-Soviet Rus
sia has completed detailed plans
for creating a Communist East
German army of 25 divisions, an
authoritative East German source
said today.
He described this army--to be
based on alert units (BereitSchaf-
ten) of the militarized, 50,000-man
peoples police e"-as Moscow's ace
in the hole if Big -Four talks fail
to settle East West differences.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko denounced West
ern defense plans and limited for
the first time at the possibility of
failure of the talks in meetings of
the four-power deputies in Paris
this week.
Malenkov Visit Recalled.
Allied officials in Berlin con-
firmed several key points in the
report of the East German source.
BY this informant's account:
The widely reported visit OF
Georgi M. Malenkov of the Soviet
Politburo to East Germany in
early February concerned military
as well as political affairs. NAL
enkov discussed the army plan
with high Soviet officers at Bah
elsberg Castle, the residence of
Gen. VASTLY Chuikov, the Soviet
commander -in-chief in Germany.
Malenkov told the officers the
Politboro had decided to rush the
formation of an East German
army if the Russians failed to
block the West German rearma-
ment or to neutralize Germany
through four-power discussions.
The grim and ruthless Commu-
mist boss, high among the candi-
dates to. succeed Joseph Stain,
outlined the strategy:
If the bid to keep Germany as
q power vacuum fails, East Ger
many will be granted the status
of a full-fledged satellite, backed
by a Russian security guarantee.
COnscription Law Drafted.
After the East German army
has been set up, the Russians
will withdraw their occupation
troops gradually and call on the
United States, Britain and
France to follow suit.
In preparation for this step,
Malenkov and the Soviet officers:
/. Prepared the draft of an
East German military conscrip-
ton law.
2. Directed reorganization of
the East German peoples police
along Soviet army lines.
3. Planned re-equipping of this
force with new Soviet weapons.
4. Ordered a speedup in the
training of East German pilots
and strengthening of the East
German sea police, now estimated
to number 5000 men. i
Equipment 1doving. sh
Allied officials confirmed that
large amounts of new Soviet
equipment. are moving direct from
Russian factories to East German
depots for the police. They said
the equipment includes tanks, ar
tillery and anti-tank and anti
aircraft guns.
Presumably it is being stockpiled
for quick use later.
A high Allied official said:
Il think Moscow intends to ex-
pSnd the Bereitschaften and to
use it. While it's training is not
advanced, it is a pretty hot outfit
composed of men who are on the
Communist team. We take a Seri-
Gus view of it,"

Strong Civilian Control Needed

provide continuous overall po-

amount of pitching, anyway, and

where it counts"
Harris isn't likely to subscribe
to that theory. He saw Gene late
last year against the Red Sox
when Bearden had control of his
fast ball and liked what he
glimpsed.
Gene pitched 70 per cent fast
balls that day and beat Boston,

Hoya Basketba||ers
Turn From Fix Story
Ito n. {. State Game

Georgetown's basketball squad
put all thoughts OF fixed games
and attempted bribes out of its
mind today and tried to concen-
trate on winning tomorrow nights
contest with North Carolina State
at Raleigh, N. C.
| Meanwhile. the Rev. Brian Nc
Grath, S. j.. dean of the col
lege, and Jack Hagerty, director
of athletics, spoke warmly in
praise of Barry Sullivan. the
1 sophomore star who was ap-
preached by a mysterious caller
suspected of trying to "fix" a
game through the player. Sullivan
tried to lure his caller into a
trap but failed when the flxer
failed to keep an appointment
with him at a downtown drug
store.
Told He Could Make $1,000.
It still had not been decided
whether the caller was a prank
ster, a person who hoped to upset
Sullivan and the other Hoya play
ers by his telephone calls, or a
gambler actually hopeful of brib-
ing Barry to throw a game. Sui
livan told school officials and po-
lice he was told he could make
between $1,000 and $4,000 by "co-
operating"
Probably most relieved of all by
publication of the story was
Coach Buddy O'Grady. The
youthful Hoya coach said today
he was under a great strain, wor-
rying about the safety of his play
ers, during the attempt to lure
the would-be fixer into a trap.
O'Grady said only Sullivan would
know how much the incident had
affected his playing. but that it
undoubtedly had hurt him.
First Call February Z.
Sullivan told Father McGrath
and Police Capt. Otto P. Fuss of
the robbery squad that his mys-
terious caller first communicated
with him on February Z. Later,
after a series of calls, it was sug-
gested that Sullivan cooperate
with the caller letting Oklahoma
City beat Georgetown by six points
in their game at Uline Arena.
A meeting was arranged at a
downtown drugstore. where half a
dozen detectives were waiting to
spring trap on the suspect, but
he failed to appear.
Sullivan said his attempts to
get some means of identifying the
caller were fruitless and that the
man became suspicious when he
pressed him on that point. The
player said no further calls were
received after the proposed meet
ing fell through.
Both police and Georgetown
said today the investigation has
been dropped.

Big Things Expected of Beorden
HHe Can Control His Fast Ball
By Burton Hawkins
S+or Stoff Correspondent

ORLANDO. Fla, Feb. 23.-If
Gene Bearden can regain control
of his fast ball, he's likely to be-
come once more the pitcher he
was in 1948 when he won 20
games, in the opinion of Manager
Bucky Harris. Bucky is planning
to devote a large portion of the
Mats drills to helping Gene har-
ness the pitch.
Bearden rode to heeting fame
with the Indians on a knuckle
ball, beating the Red Sox in a
pennant playoff for his greatest
moment. But Bucky is hoping
he'll virtually abandon that spe-
cialty this season.
Got Wise to Knuckler.
"It took a year for the leagues
hitters to get wise to the fact that
Genes knuckler breaks down and
away, frequently outside the strike
zone," Bucky said. His second
year they wouldn't nibble at the
pitch and Bearden slumped. The
hitters merely waited and Bearden
walked 'em.
Its my idea that if he con-
centrates on his fast ball he'll
get back to the point where he'll
win IL or is games for us. If he
can get that over for strike,
he can afford to gamble on his
knuckler. Since he throws a
speedy knuckler, he's liable to
have the hitters chasing it-but
only If he can cross them up
with a good fast ball.
Harris is impressed by Bearden's
attitude. Hes the hardest worker
in camp" Bucky said. "If he
doesn't make the grade, it won't
be due to lack of condition. I
think he'd pitch every day if I'd
let. him"
Eager for More Work.
Bearden is eager to get more
work. "I'd like to pitch one day,
rest the next, relieve the follow
ing day, then start the fourth
day." he says. I'm at my best
when I'm pitching frequently.
Most pitchers waste a day
