today that seven Russians were
killed and five wounded between
July and October during alter

Cooperative efforts have sharp

fatal altercations have occurred
for three weeks, the marshal
Lt. Col. Gerald F. Beane of Hol

Dual patrols of Americans
now pace the border areas and
around "rail stations were many
cases of Russian looting." Amer

Beane said "elements are here
for a terrific crime wave" in the
American sector this winter.
Larceny and robbery are the
most frequent crimes of Amer

of rape are practically non-exis
