fOKMKH PvtKftfDEXT Herbert Hoover tells a Senate foreign

b« made in the fnited Nations charter. The HO-year-old Kopub

East Hints More 'Inconveniences'
It West Germans Fail to Recognize
BERLIN (API East Ger
many isald Sunday if the Went
continue* to withhold recognition
of it* Communist government,
n«-w and "'greater inconvenience*”
will he clamped on Soviet-sur
rounded West Bprltn.
Deputy Pnme Minister Otto
Nuachke *aid current harassment
of West Beilin would not have
begun if the non-recognition pol
icy did not exist. He specifically
named the sharply increased road
tax on Western trucks as one of
the present harassment*.
It was the first time since the
tax was imposed April 1 that
East Germany has conceded the
measure was a mean* to secure
governmental recognition. For
the record, they have said the in
creased taxes were needed to
keep the roads in *hape.
The Western allies have always
contended, and the Bonn govern
ment has followed their lead, that
East Germany's Communist gov
ernment was formed illegally and
hence has no standing.
"We can survive these child
ish policies of ignoring political
realities for quite a long time,”
Nuschke declared in a statement
published by the East Beilin
newspaper, Neue Zeit.
"It has been proved in recent
times that the German democrat
ic republic (East Germany) is a
sovereign state with which one,
must reckon politically.
“If Bonn (the West German
capital i and West Berlin hadn't
fallen into political folly through
American orders, then they could
t: have spared themselves certain
unpleasantness, and in the future
they would avoid still greater in
conveniences.
“A significant event in that
connection is the establishment of
the higher road taxes for the
strongly increased interzonal
traffic, and particularly for the 1
strongly increased transport traf
fic to West Berlin.”
Nuschke complained that "in
stead of negotiating" on the
taxes, West Berlin Mayor Otto;
Suhr made two futile trips to
Bonn. West Germany has at- i
tempted to negotiate a reduction
in the taxes through interzonal
trade officials.
The Fast Germans refused to
do this, and hesld out for talks
on a ministry level. Last week,
the Communists offered to dis
cuss the matter with officials of
of the West German Traffic min
istry. Bonn has yet to announce
its agreement.
Survival City Awaits Doom
From Another A-Bomb Blast

SURVIVAL CITY, Nev. (AUi
A lonely little village. flanked by
tanks and guns and the gear of
war, atood watting Sunday for
the fiery ordeal of atomic explo
sion.
Out there in the shimmeyng
light of the desert stood the com
fortable homes, the store, all the
things like those in your home
town. “Survival City" today
would be a nice place to live.
Next Tuesday morning some of
It. perhaps much of it, will be
shambles.
That was why it was built, as
a target town for test by an ex
plosion expected to equal the un
earthly might of 40.000 tons of
TNT.
A mile beyond the Western
outskirts of “Survival City" was
arrayed the military's test equip
ment.
Oimtmy Soldiers
Lashed to the "command
trench” are soldier mannikins,
the dusty desert wind whipping
at their combat clothing. They
stand looking out and upward at
the looming. f»00-foot steel tower
from which will flash out in the
pre-dawn hours of Tuesday the
fury of the bomb.
The grim, still figures are
symbolic of soldiers waiting on
some tomorrow s atomic battle
ground.
There will he live soldiers, too,
huddling in slit trenrhes. shelter
ed within the protective armor of
tanks, more than 2,000 of them.
Women Braxe Blast
And civilians, among them wo
men, will be close to the blast so
that they, like the soldiers, will
know what to expect if nuclear
war comes to cities and battle
fields.
In charge of the women in the
trenches will be Mrs. Lydia Durst
of Silver Spring. Md.
The explosion is scheduled for
5:20 a.m. It will be telecast na
tionally by NBC and CBS. Radio

A thousand or more infantry
men were standing by Sunday at
Camp Desert Rock. 30 miles
down the toad, to move up late
Monday night and take up trench
positions an close as 2,600 yards
from the blast.
Across a sawtoothed range of
mountains was a task force of
tanks. The force will come rum
bling over the ridgeline Monday
to deploy near the trenches.
When the “count down” starts
at zero hour Tuesday the tank
crews, weary from a three-day
tick across the desert from Cali
fornia. will “button up” their ve
hicles, swing the turrets away
from the direction of the shot
tower and brace themselves for
the reeling shook and battering;
stones flung out by the blast -o
close to them.
Ahead of the planned position
for the manned tanks are deploy
eri in constantly decreasing dis
tances from the shot tower—
other tanks, artillery, machine
guns and soldier mannikins.
Within the tanks will be be
tween 400 and 500 men, including
newsmen.
Turrets of tanks will be turned
at 180 degrees away from the ex
plosion to prevent bla-st or heat
from the flash probing in through
the openings surrounding the bar
re Is of the 90-millimeter guns.
