Reds Extend Border Guard BERLIN tiTi The Soviet Zone government decreed Thursday an extension ol Its ahoot-to-klll secur ity measures to Include the border around Berlin as well as the Iron- tier with West Oermany. An order signed by Communist boss Waller Ulbrlcht. deputy prime minister, directed the atale secur ity police to "extend generally" the measures begun at first on the Interzonal frontier to "hinder the entrance ol dlversloulals, spies and terrorists In the terrltury ol tho German Democratic Republic." It provided sentences at least two yrara In jail lor violators "un less lliey are not liable lor higher punishment under other reguln lions." 'I1ie death penalty Is already provided for major violators ol a catch-all Communist law "lor pro tection ol the peace." The order came as the Western high commission met In this blockade-threatened city for a discussion ol the Communist squeeze.
