CAP WirephotoJ misted Si pies As 'Martyrs' at Funeral iulomzei 1 Uranium Mines Riots Continue In Germany, Say Russians BERLIN CT) Communist East Germany admitted today sabotage had occurred in the Soviet-managed uranium mines and violence continued elsewhere against the Red puppet regime. Communists hurled new charges that Western agents parachuted into East Germany to spread havoc after the workers revolt flared last Wednesday. U.S. officials called the accusations fantastic.

ADN, Soviet German news agency, confirmed reports that the anti-Red mutiny had struck in the Saxony uranium fields which have been exploited by the Russians since 1947 in the atomic weapons race. Expanded Efforts ADN quoted statements of loyalty by uranium miners saying they would expand their efforts to make up for lost production and to reconstruct the. areas destroyed by the Fascist provocateurs. No estimate of damage was A West Berlin newspaper, Telegraf, said 100,000 Germans struck Thursday in the Saxony uranium mines after a Soviet firing squad executed 12 anti-Red demonstrators. The strikers represented more than one-third 'of the men in the mines.

A statement by the Socialist Unity Communist Partys Central Committee said a great number of the parachutists had been captured, but admitted that in the sixth day of martial law carried on by Russian troops and armor, quiet is not yet entirely secured. As reports flew that the Russians were about to throw out the satellite East German government of Prime Minister Otto Gro-tewohl, the party declaration attested to the still continuing strikes with frantic appeals to the 18 million captive East Germans to go back to work. Throwing off restraint, the statement made clear the magnitude of the workers' rebellion the most gigantic rebuff from a captive civilian population in the history of Moscow-directed com-munnism. The enemy, the Communists said, incited millions of East Germans to take to the streets in wild disorder and threatened the security and lives of workers of (East) German Democratic" Republic. The Fascist agents, also planned to incite farmers to destroy their crops, the party said.

The Reds said the parachutists agents of American warmak-ers and their West German tools landed in Saxony and Thuringia after the revolt broke out last Wednesday. The Western Allies already have denied in the strongest terms that they had anything to do with the rebellion. The Communists said some Western agents equipped with earphones and radio sets had been, captured on the superhighway, the Autobahn, between Berlin Leipzig. The statement, however, did not elaborate the number, nationality or fate "of those assertedly captured. NEW YORK (U.P Atom spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were buried side by side in a common grave yesterday after a funeral service in which they were eulogized as martyrs by the lawyer who tried for two years to save them from death in the electric chair.
