Salem, Oregon, Thursday, East German -X Reds Rehearse War on Revolt By JOSEPH FLEMING ' United Presi Staff Correspondent BERLIN Iiipi n - '; Communists are openly rehears- ' lng for revolution. They are practising the meas ures they would take against any i anti-Communist attempt to over- . throw the Red government which rules the eastern half of divided ": Germany. They are trying to show the res- . tive East German populace that loyal German Communists units ' could crush any rebellion without ; calling for help from the 22 Soviet army divisions stationed in the Russian zone. ' The maneuvers revealed the deep fear which has gripped all satellite governments since Hun garian freedom fighters rose against their Communist overlords ix months ago. . Does East Germany face re Volt? Only Spark Needed In the early days of the Hun Karian revolution a spark could have touched off widespread ac tions against the East German government, There had been an open uprising of workers In Easl Germany in June of 1953. But the spark did not flare and row the mood appears to be one (5 deep discontent rather than revo1' lutionary zeal. . ; -.,- 1 anv case the1 Communists re taking no chances. They have staged maneuvers in East Berlin, Magdeburg,' Leipzig, Dresden and other cities.-The maneuvers are carried out' by Communist forces composed of .the police; army and 'fighting groups"- workers mil itia formed in factories, govern ment agencies , and on collective farms. , v., ; . The Communists speak constant ly of the threat posed to Easl Germany .by. the North Atlantic - Treaty 0 r g a n j zation (NATO), American -"imperialism" and West German "militarism,!" ' panger Within But in these war games all pre text is dropped, that the danger comes from outside. The' "enemy" is the East German anti-Commu-nist movement, labeled as "fas cists," "terrorists'," "counter-rev- . Iutionaries,,"' and. "provocateurs." In East Perlin maneuvers they attempted to seize police- head quarters.. In Magdeburg they at tacked the local Communist union headquarters. In Eisenach , they tried to take over., the -automobile plant. In Potsdam they raided- the 'local Communist party newspaper '.plant. f In each case the "attacks" were erushed. In the words of a Com J munist commentator: "So will all ; attacks." ; ; ; Western observers do not' be 1 lieve that the East German mil I Itia are so loyal; as the Commu ! nists claim. In. a showdown, 1 they ; believe Soviet troops would have v to be called out in East Germany ; just as they were in Hungary, I I Interior Aide Affirms Dam Study Pol icy WASHINGTON (UP) Acting Interior Secretary Hatfield Chil son today reaffirmed the responsi bility of his department in investi gations to assure maximum de velopment of the Middle Snake river.
