her delegate, V. K. Krishna Men
on, who masterminded the pro
posal in the committee.
The Soviet Foreign minis t,e r
said: "We won't be carried away
by any false and spurious -appeals
for unity, thus trying .. to turn
eyes on us. No, the eyes are on
you. Mr. Menon. You by your
resolution are trying to nush peo
ple into the holocaust of war - . . .
At best sir, you are dreamers,
fantasts . . . at the worst, you,
Mr. Menon, don't understand your
own position as regards the Amer
icans." -

1. A repatriation co m mission
made up of Czechoslovakia, Po

Britain Claims
Russia Doubled
German Forces
LONDON, Dec. 1 (/P)—Britain
accused Russia tonight of nearly
doubling the size and firepower
of a modern East German land,
air, and sea force within the last
six months.
A press statement issued by the
Foreign Office said the East Ger
man "people's police" now is de
veloping into a well organized
force with modern weapons close
ly supervised by Soviet
_officers.
The three arms of the force con
stitute cadre units with a high
proportion of officers, and as such
can be swiftly expanded• if pres
't coercive methods' of recruit
z are intensified, the statement
said.
Until recently the people's police
was estimated to be about, 55,000
strong, the Foreign Office said,
but according to evidence which
has reached Britain. from undis
closed sources in recent weeks,
more than 100,000 East Germans
now are under arms. It added that
they are equipped with Soviet
tanks, self propelled guns, howit
zers and anti-aircraft artillery.
The Foreign Office commented:
"There can be no doubt that fi
nal decisions by all countries con
cerned on the West German de
fense contribution are a matter
of growing urgency in view of in
creasing East German rearma
ment as an addition to the military
strength of the Soviet bloc."
This was a reference to the
agreement of the Atlantic Allies
to set up a European Army with
500,000 West German troops in it.
Neither France which sponsored
the idea nor the West German
Parliament so far have ratified the
agreement.

Merger
Suggested
ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 1 (?P)—
Delegates attending opening ses
sions of the CIO convention today
called for an end of government
wage controls . and applauded a
suggested meager with the rival
AFL.
The delegates appeared to be
still deadlocked, however, in a
furious, behind scenes battle for
votes on a successor to the late
Philip Murray as the ClO's presi
dent. ..
Forces support in g Walter
Reuther, president of the big auto
workers union, and Allan S. Hay
wood, CIO executive vice presi
dent, were engaged in a neck and
neck race for the top CIO post,
with neither side giving any
quarter.
A few relatively small unions,
including the rubber workers and
oil workers, were holding caucuses
to determine their positions in the
leadership fight, and could hold
the balance of power in the tilt
for political control of the labor
group.
- The end of government wage
controls was recommended in a
resolution unanimously adopted
by the convention. It also urged
dropping most price controls, but
retaining checks on rents and use
of scarce materials:,
