Deserts to West Sector
By the Associated Press

BERLIN, Aug. Cast Berlin
was damned with Communist
youth today for a world peace
festival whose main theme was
hatred of the United States and
loyalty to Russia's Prime Minister
Stain.
The tone for the $40 million
celebration was set yesterday in
fiery speeches at the opening
Hitler-style rally by East Ger
many's Communist president
Wilhelm PECK.
About 10000 blue-shirted young
Communists crowded a sports
arena in the Russian sector to
hear him denounce the "Ameri-
can-English war-makers. In re-
Spouse, the youngsters roared
Justify:
Long live the Soviet Union,
which gives the great example OF

They heard a chunky blonde,
billed by festival officials as Amer
lean Frances Damon. apologize for
United States "warmongers." who,
she said, had prevented the youth
of America from streaming to the
fete. Only II persons identified
as Americans were present.
PECK boosted that visitors had
flocked to the Communist-run
sector of Berlin from 80 countries
for the third-annual 14-day pro-
Soviet festival.
officials claimed that 2 million
youths would take part in the
show, but admitted that only
100000 were on hand in the city
yesterday. All but 10000 Of these
were from Russian-occupied east
Germany.
Five thousand youths wandered
into the Western sectors, attracted
by free meals, free theater tickets
and free sightseeing. To do so
they had to elude Communist
police and sneak around road bar
riers set up to keep them in the
Soviet sector.

West Berlin authorities per-

cribbing, say a number of the
cadets facing dismissal from West
Point for violating the schools
honor system.
These allegations, Immediately
denied by an Academy spokesman,
were made yesterday as a special
screening board started final ex-
animation of each cadets case.
Ninety cadets were accused FRI
day Of classroom cheating. Their
identities were withheld, but
slowly they and their parents were
beginning to speak up In bitter
criticism Of the Army's action.
In Washington. Senators and
Representatives debated the need
for an investigation into the dis
missalS and discussed the posi-
bility of accomplishing sports,
particularly football. at the acad-
envy.
There were reports that A play
Iers on the Wanted Army football
team were involved in the scandal.
The captain-elect of the 1851
team. Harold j. Loehlein, told
newsmen yesterday that he was
one of those dismissed.
Many Didn't Admit Part.
Cadet Loehlein, who also was
president-elect of the senior class,
said that many cadets involved
have not yet admitted their
guilt" The Kimban (Minn.) ca
Diet added:
1--WE are not culprits. not in
competents, and have not cor
|rupted the Nations morals. We
are 80 individuals apparently un-
lat for the academy, although 1T
for the Army ITSELF"
This latter statement referred
to the fact that dismissed cadets
will be eligible for the draft.
A trio of accused cadets, whose
names were withheld, met with
three newsmen In a private room.
They denied that there had been
classroom cheating. and ex-
planned:
THE cribbing consisted in tell
ing friend what the examination
questions were. The corps is split
into sections for exams, with one
section taking the exam on Mon
day, one on Tuesday. and so on"
Such exchanges of information,
they emphasized, were entirely on
a basis of friendship, with no
other considerations.
Coach Advised Truth.
Football Coach Col. Earl Blaik,
the three cadets said. had heard
of the cribbing investigation and
told the squad to ''tell the board"
if any "of you boys have COM
mitted a wrong"
AS a result, the trio said, many
football players confessed and
were placed on the dismissal list.
Col. Blaik himself has been
rumored planning to resign from
the Points coaching staff.
The three cadets said that when
they first came before the special
board 'they threatened III with
charges Of perjury and possible
Imprisonment in Fort Leaven-
worth. They also threatened that
movies would be shown depicting
cadets exchanging information"
One Of the three said the board
obtained much of Its information
from a hospitalized cadet, called
from his bed for three straight
days. The cadet spokesman con-
tinued to newSmen:
when they were through with
the hospitalized Cadet, a member
of the board said, Sorry we had
to use coercion When they real
lied what that sounded like, they
said: What we meant to say was

ogy for presence of armed troops
in Kaesong Saturday.
Red Violation Charged,

trality.

day. They carried rifles. machine
guns and hand grenades.
The Reds apologized over Pei

or upon first receipt of a Senate

To relieve the jam of legisla-

bills be accepted for introduction
after the 40th day of the session
That day already is the limit for
