Election Plan
Put on Walls
In Soviet Zone
BY the Associoted Press

BERLIN, Feb. 9.-Under cover
OF darkness. hardy anti-Com-
munlsts are posting walls and
fences in the Soviet zone with
copies of the Eden plan to unite
Germany through free elections.
Circulation OF the Western pro-
posal, introduced by British For
eign Secretary Eden to the Big
-Four conference here and re-
jected fatty by Soviet Foreign
Minister V. M. Molotov, has been
going on for some days.
German informants in West
Berlin said the mimeographed
leaflets have been seen promi-
nently displayed in many cities
and towns, particularly in Thur
1ngia, the furthermost Western
state of the East zone.
Hand-written and typed leaf
lets demanding the Eden plan be
adopted by the Big Four have
been posted also in Rostock and
IN Stralsund in the Baltic coast
area and in Neu Brandenburg
over the week end.
Leaflets declaring free elections
would sweep the Socialist Unity
tSED COMMUNIST Party out of
power were conf1scated by the
peoples police in the Halle rail-
way station.
Disgruntled East Germans
confined their resistance tactics
to the spreading of leaflets.
Sharp police countermeasures
appeared to have quashed any
tendency of hot-headed workers
to speak out their resentment
in factory rallies. Some 500 ar
rests last week drove that point
home and just about silenced

BERLIN, Feb. 9.-Soviet For

German unification issue today,
dominating the 14th session of

Reports from inside the parley
chamber indicated the Russian
led off the days talks with a
resume of the German situation
as Moscow views it. With the
necessary TRANSACTIONS, it ex-
hausted the best part of two
hours.
Whether Mr.. Molotov had
anything new to add to the
deadlocked situation could not
be ascertained at this time.
While the statesmen were
gradually burying the German
issue in oratory. Austrian For
eign Minister Leopold Figl ar
rived in Berlin by air to present
his nations case for immediate
independence. The Big Four
may take up the Austrian state
treaty Thursday, but in any
event have decided to tackle the
question not later than Friday.
Cool to Korean Move.
A Western bid for the Soviet
Union to prod Red China into
an early Korean peace confer

to have received a cool reception
from Mr.. Molotov. Diplomats
familiar with yesterdays secret
session said the Korean PROPOSE
ton was presented to the Soviet
foreign minister then as a pos
sible step toward ending the
Indo-China war.
Mr.. Molotov. they said, made
no promise. Instead he was re-
