Jan. 16 M'l Some 75.000 Oerman workers were Idle today In four Ruhr valley cities In strikes protesting food shortages. Authori ties feared the strike movement would spread swiftly In Germany's Industrial heart where hunfter grips 4,000.000 workers. Many of them are living on starvation diets. Oerman newspapers In the western occupation tones linked the labor crisis with what they call a communist master scheme, "protocol M." to wreck the Marshall plan. About 80.000 workers wnlked out at Dulsburg, Muehlheim and Dins laken, quietly and without demonstrations. About 25.000 already were on strike at Oberhausen. Coal miners and most workers In essential services remained on their Jobs Shlploadlnas at Dulburg, the huge inland port at the Junc tion of the Rhine and Ruhr rivers, continued uninterrupted. Freight trains were halted at Dulsburg. but passenger trains were running. Strikes and possible riots were predicted last night by Hans Boeck ler head of the German federation of trade unions, after a conference of 'German and British officials on the food crisis, which ended without any action to relieve the shortages. Boeckler. a moderate, said he Is opposed to the strikes, but that stoppages are certain when people are hungry. , i. Simultaneously, Germany's sputtering political situation boiled up. Several old line German communists revealed they had split with Mos-eow-dlrected communists and formed an opposition party. The Moscow radio added Its bit to the Ruhr's turbulent political pot by broadcasting a special program to huiujery Ruhr miners seeking to prove that the way to more pota toes was through the communist party. Calory Drop The Ruhr, which has remained comparatively quiet since last win ter's food riots, sprang suddenly into the European picture when the 1550 calory subsistence ration level dropped in many places to 1200 and even 1100 levels. Although British-American food imports have been on schedule, col lections from German farmers have not. American and British military governments blamed German offi cials for failure to collect German officials In turn blamed the military governments for not giving them power to enforce collections. Against the advice of their union leaders, Ruhr workers have launched protest strikes. Starting with 25.000 yesterday, the ranks of the strikers appeared to be swelling well over the 100.000 mark today and a general strike Involving most of the 4.000.000 workers threatened the entire Ruhr. "Protocol M" was reported to be an operational order from the cominform communist "interna tional information bureau" for a paralyzing strike in the Ruhr in March, aimed at smashing the Mar shall plan. Details of ihe alleged plan first were published in the French-controlled German newspaper Der Hur ler, but within a few hours military government officials, the British foreign office and German social democrat leader Dr. Kurt Schu macher all said they had copies of the "secret" document. Foreign of fice officials in London said they believed the document was "genuine." Real Estate Case Dropped A lawsuit involving a $1075 com mission allegedly due J. W. Sanders, local real estate agent, was dis missed in circuit court yesterday before It was scheduled to go to the Jury, Insufficiency of evidence was the cause of dismissal. Defendant in the suit was J. E. Whitlatch, Bonanza rancher, and the trial concerned sale of a farm owned by Whitlatch to Joe Elian on March 12, 1946. The farm is lo cated near Malin. Whitlatch said he listed the farm ; for sale with Sanders from Janu ' ary 19 to March 1 of last year, then sold It himself to Illian for $21500. Sanders was asking a commission on the sale. Whitlatch was represented by A. W. Schaupp. Sanders by J. C. O'Neill. High School By MARY LOU CASE Wayne Scott said a few words about the game tonight.
