ANOTHER CHANCE TO AGAIN UNITE BERLIN HAS GONE BY, Behind The World New: By WILLIAM JOLESCH, | Associated Press Writer | Another chance to- reunite -Ber-| lin, very. likely. has gone jby ‘the Board. oes Ru German, appeal put the sectors together ’s official newspaper in ag rejected a‘ Western a city-wide eleetion- to of Berlin back | But the Russian again. Paper didn’t just stop there. It} went further to denounce , the | suggestion by calling the West) Berlin government a puppet and} aying it is senseless to go ahead with a city-wide vote. Officially, there has. been no answer yet from the Soviet Com- mandant in Berlin—Major General Alexander Kotikov. The suggestion was addressed to him but the Soviet paper’ ¥ angry re action wa: presentati of the offici sian attitude Actually. no one ever had much hop? that the Russians would accept the Western offer.| But observers believe the _ rejec- tion may put Russia on the de- fensive in the current cold war, over Berlin Also, it is believed that rejection may clearly point j the finger of blame for the con-| tinued division of the. ¢ity into} two parts The western half of Berlin has worked hard since the war to re- pair the damage. Both physi¢al and spiritual. But in the Eastern Sector, the Russians have bee! striving to make the former G man capital over in the image of} their own capital A comparison of the two cities before the war would have made little sense. One was a big, mod- ern city, and the other a shabby overgrown village, with the ex ception of a small area in the center. But bombs leveled Berlin to the point where it now has more in common with Moscow! than ever before, even though! the Russian capital was practical-| ly untouched by war. There is a patch-work effect in Berlin that is strongly reminis: cent of the Soviet city. Window panes are missing here and there, and windows are boarded up with strips of wood. Balconies on apartment buildings are broken or missing. So are the pavements of some of the streets. Despite the destruction in Ber- lin, the people there are better | housed than in’ Misebw. Almost} every German family » hag at least two rooms. But frequently two Russian families share one room. 2 5 The greatest | similiatity . be- tween Moscow and Soviet Berlin is not a physical one. It is in the effect of Moscow’s hand on the} life of the ‘one-million-two-hun- | dred-thovsand Germans who in- habit Soviet Berlin People familiar with both cities} say it is safer not to discuss poli tics either in Soviet Berlin or Soviet Moscow unless the views} happen to coincide with the men| in the Kremlin The same reserve available in the shops, on the streets or) anywhere else, for > ears of} the political police are lon | One of the most str effects | of the Soviet oegupation has been on German labor’ At one time, German labor was among the| most skilled in the wo 3ut | today it has sunk to the vel of | Soviet lakor. The poor quality of the good: attributed to the low price labor in both Moscow and Soviet} Berlin. One of the first thimgs4 heard upon arriving in West Ber- lin is—“If you want something! done cheaply take it to East Ber- lin.” But for manufactured goods such as clothing and shoes, East Berliners often go west. Despite the inequality of exchange, the East Berliner prefers to pay so} that they at least can profit from} East Berlin as well as in Moscow, one can see a play called “Wolves And Thieves.” West Berliners say the title deseribes: the Russians among the East Germans.

The nine Liberals in the House of Commons have decided to jjoin with the Conservatives in | opposing the government actions. But the prediction is that the government will serape through, | possibly by five votes. The Labor | Party holds 311 seats, as com- pared with 305 for the Conserva- tives and Liberals combined, Qbservers expect some mem- bers on both sides to be absent or unable to, vote. And the final tally Nis put at a possible 305 for Labor agaiftst 300: for the opposition. However, if a few Labor mem- ber should miss their trains or fall suddenly ill, the result might be a defeat for the government. Under the government plan, the gasoline tax would be in- creased: to. one shilling six pence, twice what it is now, for an im- perial, or five-quart, gallon. The tax would amount to 21 cents, to one-third of the price. Admiral Richard .L. Conolly, born in Waukegan, lil, 59° years ago.
