East German
Renews Plan
On Unification

BERLIN, July ~ (R.-Com-
munist East German Premier
Otto Grotewohl said today the
only possible way Germany can
be unified is through creation
of a state federation" of an
East and West Germany. He
rejected the idea Of free elec-
tons.
Grotewohl's proposai-which
has been made several times be-
fore by his regime-would Gre
ate a federal council that would
have no power to rule. 1t could
only make Suggestions" to the
two German states.
The Premier said creation Of
the council would be the first
step to actual reunification.
Counters Western Move
The proposal was obviously
designed to counter q move to
be made here Monday by
France, Britain and the United
States. Their Ambassadors are
to meet In West Berlin for the
signing of a Joint declaration on
reuniflcation. West Germany
will also sign.
The chief point in the dec
laration will be reafiirmation Of
the Western stand that reuni-
f1cation can only follow free
elections in all of Germany,
Western sources say.
Grotewohl rejected the idea
of free elections, saying that
differences between East and
West Germany ARE too great to
be bridged over with a ballot"
He charged that West Germany
under direction of the United
States-is preparing for an
atomic war. while his part of
Germany is going along the
path to socialism.
Grotewohl said the fedora
ton could be created only if:
/. Both parts of Germany
agree to ban the manufacture
or storage Of nuclear weapons
on German soil.
Withdrawal From NATO
2. West German withdrawal
from the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO). In re-
turn, East Germany would
withdraw from the Warsaw
pact, designed by the Russians
as a counterweight to NATO.
8. Abolition of West German
CONSUMPTION and agreement on
German troop strengths.
4. At the same time, both
German SUBSTANTIALLY or
singly," as Grotewohl put it
are to ask the Big Four to grad
ually withdraw their troops
from German soil.
Western sources say their
declaration is being timed to
take the edge of any propa-
ganda drive which Soviet Com
munist Party Boss Nikita
Khrushchev may open on his
scheduled visit to East Ger
many next month.
The visit raised Western fears
that Khrushchev may attempt
to influence West Germany's
national elections September Is.
