.:;,.West Germany Joins Allie 4:::
Ratification Faces Perils
As Russia Blasts. Treaty
BONN, Ger - many, May 26 (JP)—The-United States, Britain,
and France signed with Western Germany today a historic
peace contract welcoming 48 million fo - rmer enemies 'as new
allies in a gamble to avoid World War 111. But a perilous road
lies ahead before the contract can take effect.
While the Russian bear
growled, - the three Western for
eign ministers met with West
German Chancellor Konrad Aden
auer in the Parliament Building
here. They signed documents
which— when and if ratified—
will end the Allied occupation,
bring West Germans into the
European community as an all but
sovereign nation, and permit the
Germans to contribute about 400,-
000 troops to — Europe's western
defense army.
Needs Ratification
"Our work will succeed —it
must succeed if we're to avoid arx
other catastrophe," said French
BERLIN, May 26 (IM—A
thousand screaming Commun
ist ' youngsters stormed across
the West Berlin frontier late
• today, damning the Bonn peace
contract and demanding adop
t! on of the Soviet Union's plan
for Big Four meetings to unify
Germany.
West Berlin p olice slowly
pushed the throng back into the
Sciviet sector. Three persistent
youths were arrested. There
were no serious injuries.

man, speaking on behalf of him
self, British Secretary Anthony
Eden and U.S. Secretary of State
Dean Acheson.
The peace contract, signed over
the repeated and vociferous pro
tests of Moscow, becomes effec
tive upon ratification by the four
Parliaments. When—and if—this
comes about, the split of Germany
will be finalized unless Russia
and the West at some later date
can agree on how the West Ger
mans and the 18 million of the
East zone can be reunited.
Trouble Foreseen
Along with the related Euro-
pean Defense Community Treaty
k to be signed tomorrow in Paris
by six nations, the peace contract
and the European army treaty
face long, • hard battles, particu
larly in the Parliaments of Wes
Germany and France.

Prexy Sees
Intellectual,
Moral Gains
By The Associated Press
President Milton S. Eisenhower
told" the Pennsylvania Federation
of Women's Clubs at a meeting
in Harrisburg last night that
America and the free world "will
win the modern world intellectual
and moral struggle in internal
strength."
"That 'internal strength is com
pounded of military, economic, in
tellectual and moral power,"
Eisenhower said in a prepared
address.
"This power is now a great
force, but it could be multiplied to
the benefit of all mankind if we,
internally, could learn. how to
overcome our lesser 'disagreements
and focus our minds and hearts
on truly great and significant
goals."
Opening the convention, Dr.
Epplinger Reinartz, secretary of
the United Lutheran Church in
America, cautioned that "visions
can be exhausted in talk."
Quiet resolve and real prepara
tion, he said, mean more than
glib talk when one is carried
away by the force and energy
of inspiration. Mayor Claude R.
Robins welcomed the nearly 1000
club women to the city.
Since public policy affdcts every
individual American, Dr. Eisen
hoWer said in. his address "it is
not surprising, then, that current
public policies do not command
the support of all the people.
"We have always had in our
society healthy disagreements
about many things. But I do be
lieve that we have reached a new
depth of bitterness in our dis
agreements . .
"We all want about the same
things. But there is a tremendous
disagreement on how we can at
tain our ends. Indeed, there is so
much confusion and bitterness re
garding methods that one almost
wonders whether any construc
tive modification of present policy
is possible."
When the "sky survey" now un
der way 'at the Palomar Observa
tory in California is completed, an
atlas of 1870 photographic plates
will be published.

West Germany
BERLIN, May 26 (W)) Th e
Communist East German govern
ment announced tonight it was
"strengthening" immediately its
forces facing now virtually sov
ereign West. Germany.
The Cabinet in the Russian-oc
cupied East zone, at a special ses
sion, issued a decree directing Wil
helm Zaisser, chief of the Red
secret police, to set up special con
trols all along the border between
East and West Germany. '
There was no mention of Ber
lin, which also is divided along
East-West lines, but has ostensibly
been under four-power control.
There was no immediate dis
closure of what the East Ger
mans meant by "strengthening"
their border forces. The Western
Allies have long held that the
East German Communists have a
full-fledged military establish
ment under the guise of "police"
units.
• The announcement by the Com
munist zone government came on
the heels of demonstrations by
organized mobs of blue-shirted
Red youths along the edge of
West Berlin today.

GREYHOUND
KOJE ISLAND, Korea, Tuesday, May 27 (M—The Reds min;
dered 115 of their own number in gaining control inside Koje prison
compounds beginning with savage struggles last September, it was•
disclosed Monday.
At least that many were beaten to death, hanged or died from
torture—some of them "executed"
after sentence by kangaroo courts.
One man was buried alive.
Informed sources said the worst
battle was from Sept. 16 to Sept.
20. An episode in which 100 pris
oners were wounded, 15 fatally.
A, doien Allied guards were hurt,
including three American infan
trymen, as they tried to . stop the
fighting.
- Reject Screening
Attesting to the strong domi
nation of the barbed wire stock
ades by the Reds, these sources
said officials were able to screen
only half <}f the 80,000 inmates
now on Koje to determine which
ones want to return to Red rule.
The Red compound leaders
toughly rejected screening for all
prisoners in some stockades, al
though m any anti-Communists
were believed to be among them.
Reds Still in Control
Allied truce negotiators have
reported that 70,000 die-hard Reds
want to return to Red rule and
that nearly 100,000 other military
and civilian internees have said
they would rather die.
The Communists still firmly
control events inside the com
pounds. Allied personnel has been
ordered to keep out. The Reds,
organized into a disciplined army,
-are equipped with •cr u d e but
deadly .weapons.
They are known to have some
guns—seized from guards /during
riots or smuggled in by civilians.
In the "bloody September" riots,
scores of prisoners sent to the
hospital including 15 dead on
arrival—had been severely
beaten. At least 14 were shot by
guards trying to restore order.
Twenty-two Reds suffered bay
onet wounds.
