WESTERN AGENTS ARE BLAMED IN ANTI-RED ACTS IN E. GERMANY New POW Escapees Quickly Commie Puppet Regime Hurls Accusations In Face-Saving Try BERLIN (® — Communist East Germany admitted today sabotage had occurred in the Soviet-man- aged uranium mines and violence continued .elsewiere against the Red puppet regime.

The company “has never partici- “the best club I) S. officials derided the accusations 5 ever pitched against.” as fantastic, “TI don’t go along with the-idea perils-a Korean truce. The U. N.

ADN quoted statements of loy- alty by uranium miners saying they would expand their efforts to make up for lost production “and to reconstruct the areas de- stroyed by the Fascist provoca- | teurs.” No estimate of damage was given. A West Berlin newspaper, | Telégraf, reported yesterday that 100,000 Germans went on strike Thursday in the Saxony uranium mines ‘after a Soviet firing squad executed 12 anti-Red demonstra- tors, The strikers represented more than one third of the men in the mines. Accusations that American and West Germany money and effort supplied paratreop saboteurs to keep the flames of revolt alive were contained in a Socialist Unity (Communist) party declaration which pleaded with East Germans to get back to work and support the Red government. The party declaration said a “great number” of the parachutists had been cap- tured but admitted that in the sixth day of Soviet martial law ‘‘quiet is not yet entirely secured.” U, S, officials in Berlin in deny- ing the paratroop accusation said the RusBians had recorded only one violation of the East zone’s air sovereignty outside the Allied cor- ridors this month and that was 10 days ago. It involved an American jet fighter plane. Said a senior - American official: “The idea of parachuting ynder- ground saboteurs into the Soviet Zone is ridiculous. They'd better realize as long as this Communist gang is in power there are already 48 million there.” The sealed-off Soviet sector re- leased trains for West Berlin’s ele- vated system, which carries a mil- lion passengers daily, but none of the five operating lines was per- mitted to cross the border dividing East and West Berlin. Lack of trains had conipelled the working | seat in Western sector to ip along on foot, bicycle, over- crowded bus and street car lines. From Bonn, ‘meanwhile, German Chancellor Konrad Ade- nauer telegraphed President Eisen- hower, Prime Minister Churchill and Rene Mayer, head of the care- taker French government, asking them to do all ihey could to free East Germany by securing unifica- tion of the divided country. Adenauer said only with a uni- fied Germany governed by a freely West | that they are a lucky club,” said |“*You make one mistake, and |they’re ready to jump on you. |They take advantage of every break. It’s a real good ball team.” It was cool in the Tigers club- house after the steaming 102- degree heat on the Yankee Sta- dium mound. Newhouser sat on a rubbing table, alternately dragging on a coke and a cigarette. A small | white radio blared out the details lof the final innings of the first game, in which he had been knocked out of the box. jof an injury to his left arm, New- Mickey Mantle, who had blasted him for a 425-foot home run, “I made a good pitch’ to him too,” he said slowly, “Tried to keep him from pulling, But he just hit it high and away. That boy may become one of the great. hitters. He has a terrific advantage on most hitters because he switches at the plate, You never get a chance to work on him.” Newhouser stopped a minute and then added, “I would like to have pitched against him, though, when I had my good stuff.’ ’ Although he rates Mantle as a potential great, Newhouser consid- ers Hank Bauer the best hitter in the American League—‘‘at least against me.” Louise Suggs Heads For Title Defense ATLANTA (#—Louise Suggs, At- lanta’s golfing queen, didn’t even have time to bank her $1,000 win- nings for her victory’ in the Wom- en’s Western Open before she left for Rocsester, N. Y., to defend her title in the USGA Open. Miss Suggs, the nearest thing to Ben Hogan the women golfers can offer, polished off a tiring Patty Berg, 6 and 5, Saturday to win her fourth Western. Early yesterday she headed for Rochester by auto- mobile. Her Western victory put Miss Suggs in a bracket with Miss Berg and Babe Zaharias as the only four-time winners. : Patty got $500 money, bringing her total winnings this year to $10,873—second only to Miss Suggs’ record $15,766.

American troops halted another escape attempt Sunday. They fired short bursts of automatic weapons fire into the ground in front of POWs running from two com- pounds near Masan. Tear gas bombs were used to restore order. No casualties were reported. The Communists have demanded that the U. N. command recapture the prisoners, an almost impossible task because South Korea’s govern- ment hasbeen encouraging civ- ilians to house them and is re- ported preparing to issue them identification papers.
