West Berlin newspaper Der Tag,
with close political and church
connections in the east, has
said that 800 Germans lost their
lives in the June uprising. West
German Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer has said that the
Russians executed 81 persons in
smashing the rebellion.
Refugees sneaking into West
Berlin during the last "a hours

Optical Works in Jena had quit
in protest over the continued
imprisonment of so of their COM
radeS. Other strikes were said
to be in progress in zwickau,

and at Borna.
Unrest also was reported at
SchWerin over the jailing of 400
participants in the June II up
heaval, mostly for attacks on
police and Communist Party
headquarters.
The Red Party newspaper
Neues Deutschland declared to-
day that Western agents are
planning a new X-day," but in
sisted any new rebellion would
fail like the last one. This ap-
peared to Western observers to
be an alibi-in-advance if the
East German pot boiled over
again.
The party and the Eastern
government kept pumping out
desperate announcements of new
housing projects and relaxations
of the repreSsive Communist con-
trolls in an effort to appease the
18 million East Germans. One
statement said consumer goods
would be taken off the ration.
but Western sources viewed this
as an empty promise in the light
of the East's known scarcities.

Czech, Hungarian Radios
Shift Propaganda Formal
BY the Associofed Press

VIENNA, July 8.-Communist
leaders of Czechoslovakia and
Hungary today accompanied
their newly announced velvet
glove policy with soft music,
much of it western.
Radio stations of both nations
have ended their monotonous
daylong intonation of political
speeches, Marxist lectures and
Russian-type peoples music. Z"
Propaganda has been stream
lined to few and very brief an
nouncements.
Instead, programs consisted
largely of western classical mu-
sic and more shows for women
and children during the day. In
the evening, light French and
American dance music has been
reintroduced.

East Berlin Workers.
Stage Sit-Down 10
Protest Red Arrests
BY the ASsoeIafed Press

BERLIN, July 8.-Th0usands
of resentful East Berlin indus
trial workers staged sitdown
strikes today. The Russians,
apparently fearful of another
bloody revolt, met one of the
workers demands by announc-
ing restoration of intracity
travel.
The workers were demanding
also that hundreds of their
comrades arrested in the anti
Communist rebellion of June II
be released from Jail. The work.
ers staged the sitdown strikes in
Soviet-operated plants and the
peoples owned" mills and fac
tories.
Radio Berlin said the elevated
and subway trains would run on
normal schedules tomorrow and
all persons would be permitted
to cross the border in either di-
rection without special passes.
This removed the last restric-
tion placed on the east sector of
the divided city by the Red Army
under martial law imposed after
the June II rioting.
Demand Workers Release.
West Berlin Police Chief Jo-
hanneS Stumm, in reporting the
strikes, said the men were de-
manding release of all workers
arrested in the June II revolt.
Earlier reports OF the sitdowns
touched off speculation that q
new workers march on the gov
ernment would materialize. much
in the manner of the June II
uprising, which shook the Red
world and brought Soviet ar
niored legions pouring into East
Berlin.
This time, however, the East
Germans apparently tried the
peaceful sitdown protest rather
than risk further bloody clashes
with Communist arms.
Refugees from East Berlin
said angry workers by the hun
dredS had laid down their tools
at the Bergman Borsig works,
the Stain Alice housing project,
the Henningsdorf steel mills, the
Siemens electrical parts plant
and the RuderSdorf pottery mill.
Free Traffic Due Tomorrow.
Despite the new strike reports.
East Berlin's police headquarters
announced on Red Radio Berlin's
noon broadcast that free traffic
between the city's east and west
sectors would be permitted start
ing tomorrow.
Since the June II revolt, traf-
flc between the East and West
sectors had been permitted only
to persons with special passes.
Resumption of the traffic had
been demanded twice by the AL
lied commandants in West Ber-
lin. who denied Russian charges
that the workers rebellion was
fomented by Western agents.
The United States high COM
missions Berlin newspaper, Neue
Zeitung, reported strikes and
demonstrations in other Soviet
zone cities. The protestants, it
said, demanded the additional
food and consumer goods prom
ised by Communist Premier Otto
GroteWohl's lottery puppet re-
gime.
During the night the Com
munist German police were
placed on a NO. l Alert" and
night patrols which normally
operate in pairs were increased
to four men.

Is Told by Council
By the Assoeiated Press

HOT SPRINGS, Va, May g..
Industry leaders assured Sec
retary of Commerce Weeks today
that business activity in 1858
promises to top last years boom
level.
But profits may lag because of
harder competition in prices and
services. members of the Depart
ment of Commerce Business Ad-
visory Council predicted in their
closed meeting here.
Ten corporation heads. speak
ing for as many major fields Of
industry, presented the forecasts
to the conference of 100 execu-
tives. Council Chairman John D.
Biggers summarized the outlook
later for reporters, saying:
I'm many lines, the sellers
market has passed or is passing.
Competition is becoming more
intense, and the council considers
this a desirable economic devel-
opment.
1T was the general conviction
Of members that business will
be good, certainly for the rest of
1858, and that the volume in
most lines-and as a whole
will be better than in 1882"
Vice President Nixon, speak
ing off the record, gave what
members later called an i'm
pressive and lucid account of the
Eisenhower administrations ef-
forts to cope with the double
barreled problem of keeping the
Government solvent and the
country secure"
Privately, industry men said
they were impressed with the
attack made by the Eisenhower
administration on the problems.
Speakers reported no sign of a
substantial drop in business plans
to invest in new plant and
equipment. These are now NOV
ing forward at a rate of $27.5
billion annually.

promising development which
may raise substantially certain
of the operating limits beyond
which we have not been able to
go in some of our major plants.
If we are successful, and the

more time, we will have added
one more achievement to the
long list of examples of how re-

2. The Acc Is concerned
whether the supply of uranium
needed for maximum production
in plant operations will be avail
able over the next year or two.
But the longer range outlook for
uranium procurement is much
more encouraging" Moreover,
between 1947 and 1852 the aver

I'VE have never shot off any,
thing in Nevada simply to show
it would go off. because we know
it will go off," Mr.. Dean ex-
planned, I'VE have no intention

So consequently the whole pro-
gram in Nevada is one to test
out new ideas which are develop
ed at Los Alamos and Sandia
and then the feasibility of their
being incorporated in the stock
pile of weapons. It is entirely a
development program and, be-
lieve me. good one"
