Soviet Shift in East Germany
Could Mean Recall of Troops

he Said.)
The Russian action was re-
garded in Allied and German
quarters in Berlin as matching
that of the West. It could mean
that Moscow is convinced the
European treaties will be ratified
by all, including reluctant France,
and therefore it must be ready
to recognize the Russian zone of
Germany as an autonomous
state, too. In so doing, it would
be virtually necessary to with
draw the 300, 00O-man Red army
which has lived off the fat of
East Germany since 1945.
East Zone Being Divided
The Russians have indicated
some new strategy recently by
denuding the east zone of meat,
fat, sugar, fish and raw mate
rails. Refugees fleeing to the
West in record numbers now say
a genuine threat of hunger hangs
over the Soviet zone.
In the light of the Moscow
announcement today, there was
considerable thought in Berlin
that the "scorched earth" tactics
of recent weeks have amounted
to a take while the taking's

Confirmed and Built
Up Report, Mundt Says
By Cecil HoIIond

Senate investigators released
today a State Department letter
identifying as the Perico and
Miramar the British-owned ships
alleged to have carried Chinese
Communist troops during the
Korean war.
The letter said that informa-
ton in the State Department
shows the ships were owned by
the British Hong Kong firm of
Wallem and Co. and the Wheel
ock Marden Co. It also disclosed
the periods in 1851 and 1852 and
the areas between which the
Communist troops we're said to
have been transported.
Senator Mundt, Republican, of
South Dakota. acting chairman
Of the Senate Investigations sub
committee, released the State
Department letter and said the
department "has confirmed and
elaborated" on the sensational
testimony - denied by British
sources-given two weeks ago be-
fore the subcommittee headed
by Senator Mccarthy, Republic
can, of Wisconsin.
British Statement Awaited.
Senator Mundt took note of a
recent British Foreign Office
statement that it was difficult
to comment on a report that "un-
identified ships of unknown ton
mage carried unsupported number
Of troops at a date not known be-
tween unstated ports" and said

indicated that an immediate
check would be made and that q
statement might be issued
promptly.
The State Department letter,
signed by Assistant Secretary of
State Thruston B. Morton, said
the department had received
reliable information" that the
Perico made a voyage in June,
1851. from Yellow Sea port to
the Pearl River estuary carrying
Chinese Communist troops.
Troop Number Undisclosed.
Further information, the let
ter added, indicates that this
ship carrying Communist troops
sailed from Hainan Island to
the Pearl River estuary during
July, 1851"

partment also has reliable in

City Heads to Ask 8 Pct. Raise
For Teachers and Principals
But No Boost Sought for Administrators
In Compromise Victory for School Board

a 10 per cent raise for the pol
ice and firemen, but the Federal
Budget Bureau after the House
action recommended 8 per cent
instead and the city heads de-
cided to accept the lower amount.
The Senate hasn't acted on the
subject yet.
School officials used the pay
proposal for police and firemen
as their chief argument. They
said leaving the teachers out
would be discriminatory.
Originally the School Board
asked for an elaborate new
teacher salary schedule which
would have provided consider
ably larger increases in the long
run. Supt. Hobart M. Corning
under this schedule, would have
been jumped from his present
$4,000 a year to $4,000.
School officials still maintain
the proposed schedule is needed
But the city heads said it was
out of the question now.

plan the maximum strength

The question came into to-
days conference when a report

Gen. Eisenhower to give his

this country's security.
Expressing willingness to give
such assurance, Gen. Eisenhower
said the reduction of IS billion

The amount requested, he in

The President explained that
he was always anticipating bet

his conviction that the defense
