May 17-CPV- First scattered returns today from eastern Eerhn in the soviet zone elections showed the communists were taking a licking. This was in contrast with the confident predictions of commun ist politicians in the soviet zone of occupation that an overwhelm ing majority of the voters would support them. The voting took place Sunday and yesterday for a "people" con gress" of 2.000 members, all hand picked by communist - controlled organizations and put on a single ticket. The main election committee of the "people's congress" for Berlin announced that of 7.000 votes counted only 2.20 endorsed the list of candidates on the ballot. A tot,.l of 3.S09 votes said no. Some w rote on their ballots "we won't vote for a police state and we re ject communism.' About 350 votes were declared invalid. The early returns from Berlin showed a majority of "no' votes the only way the congress could oe rejected s nee only one list of candidates was submitted. Russian - controlled propaganda outlets gave r.o returns They gave out reports only of a heavy vote being cast, ranging from 97 8 to : h3 3 p-er cent. The "people's congress' would i be the Soviet answer to the wes tern state being set up in the wes tern occupation .'one by the Bri 'i. French and Americans. It would back Russia m the four pi w er conference on Germany scheduled to open m Paris May 23. Earlier, ea-tern one commun ists had claimed they would roll up ! 0.000.
