Red East Germans
Ask West to Sabotage
U. S. Military Plans
•y the Associated Press
BERLIN, July 22.—The Rus
sian-backed East German Com
munists called on West Germans
today to sabotage American mili
tary preparations for defense of
the West.
The call was issued by Franz
Dahlem, a member of the Polit
buro of the East German Social
ist Unity (Communist) Party
which is holding its annual con
vention here.
A similar appeal was delivered
to the French people from the
same platform by Jacques Duclos,
secretary-general of the French
Communist Party.
Duclos was here with such
other leading lights of the Com
inform as Russia’s Mikhail A.
Suslov and Italy’s Palmiro Tog
liatti.
These men, ostensibly “hon
ored guests” of the East German
Communists, were reported to be
holding secret Cominform ses
sions in which Suslov was giving
them the Kremlin's views on the
Korean war and whatever may
be Moscow’s next pressure points
against the West.
Ulbricht Takes Platform.
In the main convention speech
tonight, Walter Ulbricht, Deputy
Prime Minister of East Germany,
said East Germany would join
the “Molotov plan”—the Eco
nomic Council for Mutual Assist
ance organized by the Soviet
Union among its satellites to
counteract the Marshall plan.
He announced a five-year eco
nomic plan for East Germany and
demanded of the still-rationed
people more work if they ftant
to eat butter.
He said East Germany planned
to build a merchant fleet in the
next five years—after it has built
the shipyards. Existing shipyards
apparently are being used by the
Russians.
Dahlem took up where East
German Chancellor Otto Grote
wohl left off yesterday. Grote
wohl had called on West Ger
mans to display open resistance
to the policies of the Western
occupying powers — the United
States, Britain and France.
“The active fight for peace.”
Dahlem said, “must be the sab
otage of war preparations in West
Germany, such as the unloading
and transport of American arma
ments. This activity must be in
creased.”
(The Communists invariably
characterize as "war prepara
tions” all defense measures
which the Western powers take
against possible Communist ag
gression from the East.)
Boasts Are Tempered.
However, previous boasts by
East German Communist spokes
men that West Germany would
be ‘‘liberated from the American
imperialists” were tempered some
what by Anton Ackermann. He
is East Germany’s unofficial ob
server in the Cominform and the
real power in the East German
Foreign Ministry as state ’secre
tary.
“The liberation of West Ger
many from the American im
perialists and their German help
ers will be achieved only after
several years,” Ackermann said.
“It will take some years to over
come the minority position of the
West German Communist Party
and succeed in driving out the
Americans.”
Duclos told the convention real
reconciliation between France and
Germany could be achieved only
through Communist policies in
both countries and “against the
policies of the West German gov
ernment at Bonn.”

the first World War II veteran
to be elected commander of the
District Department of the Ameri
can Legion.
Walter L. Morgan, of 3524 Pope

controller of the World Bank, was
installed in office shortly after his
nearest competitor, Maj. Gen. U.
S. Grant III, moved that his elec
tion be declared unanimous.
Mr. Morgan was named to suc
ceed Charles K* Dunn at the clos
ing session of the department’s
32d annual convention in the
Shoreham Hotel.
About 750 members of the Le

McCalla of Sergt. Jasper Post,
Massis Blankenship of the Gov

A. Walker of the Fort Stevens
Post was elected alternate com

The department named 23 del
egates and 23 alternates to the
National Convention at Los
Angeles October 8-12.
Mr. Morgan and his assistants
were installed in office in the main
ballroom at the Shoreham at
exercises over which Paul J. Mc
Gahan, past commander of the
department presided.
Mr. Morgan, a native of Birm
ingham, enlisted as an aviation
cadet at Bolling Field in February,
1943. He served 11 months in
Asia and the Pacific as' a B-24
pilot. He was discharged at An
drews Field base a few months
after VJ Day.
Elected Commander.
He joined the Kenna-Main Post
of the Legion soon after leaving
the service, and a year later was
elected senior vice commander. In
1947 he was named post com
mander. Last year Mr. Morgan
was chairman of the District
Department’s Convention Com
mittee and served on the Civic
Relations and Aeronautics Com
mittees.
Mr. Morgan graduated from
Eastern High School here before
entering the service, and for five
years was a page in the House.
After his discharge from the Air
Force, he entered George Wash
ington University, graduating in
1947. He was graduated from the
law school there last year.

Two Gambling Raids
Result in Depositing
Of Collateral by 43
Two vice squad raids yesterday
netted a total of 43 dice shooters
and card players. They forfeited
from $5 to $25 each on disorderly
conduct charges. f
William W. Beach, 32, of the
1300 block of M street N.W.,
charged with setting up a gaming
table and permitting gaming in a
house in the 600 block of F street
S.W., was released on $2,000 bond.
The raiders first descended up
on a "vacant” house at the F
street address. At a large table
inside were 16 men absorbed in
a crap game, police reported.
Lt. Roy Blick, vice squad chief,
led the 11-man squad.
One player, shooting “Eighter
from Decatur,” kept right on when
the police arrived. Lt. Blick and
his associates swept in $3,900 in
cash. But one winner proclaimed
that he wanted his $150 “from
somebody.” With the rest, he was
taken to the First Precinct. Each
deposited $25 collateral on dis
orderly conduct charges.
Subsequently, the vice squad
raided a place in the 1400 block of
Fourteenth street N.W. Noise in
an apartment over a store brought
complaints from neighbors. Police
said they found a card-strewn
room and 27 men.
This group was taken'to Num
ber 2 Precinct, and deposited col
lateral of from $5 to $25 on dis
orderly conduct charges.

Homeowner Blocks Off Street;
'If I Pay Taxes, I Own It'
By th« Associated Press
FITCHBURG, Mass., July 22.—
Harry H. Meloon decided today
that Coolidge avenue is still his
and it’s up to him to keep it free
of accidents.
So at each end of the short
roadway in a residential neigh
borhood Mr. Meloon placed signs
reading: "Private property. No
trespassing.”
Mr. Meloon reported that for
years the city had refused to ac
cept the avenue as a public way,
but that last year the city paved
the avenue and the city water de
partment put in a main.
He thought that meant the city
was going to accept Coolidge ave
nue at last, Mr. Meloon said.
But today he reported he just
had a tax bill and he’s still taxed
for Coolidge avenue.
Says Mr. Meloon: “If I pay
taxes on it then I must own it.
If I own it I’m responsible for
what happens on it. There have
been three accidents on it within
a year because of speeding.”
City officials said It’s a mystery
how the avenue got its surfacing
and its water main.
Slain Watchman's Widow Loses Compensation Plea
ly th« Associottd Prats
RICHMOND, July 22.—The
State industrial commission ruled
today that the employer of a
night watchman slain while on
duty does not necessarily have to
pay compensation to his widow.
The opinion affirmed an earlier
opinion of Commissioner W. H.
Nickels, Jr., which denied compen
sation to the widow of J. Calvin
Torian, a South Boston night
watchman.
Mr. Torian was beaten fatally
in May, 1949, while working as a
night watchman for the Boston
Dunham Ice Cream Co. and a
man subsequently was sentenced
to 20 years in the penitentiary on
a charge of murder.
The commission held that Mrs.
Iris D. Torian had failed to estab
lish a motive “for the assault that
would connect it with a hazard of
the employment,” since the as
sault may not have been in a rob
bery of the company.

world’s farm lands than any other
crop, and is grown in all 48 Amer
ican States.
