They do believe this country's lead in atomic weapons, estimated at 10 or 15 to one.

Russian Tactics In Berlin Are Giving East Germans Jitters I I 0 i 4k Canned Goods Being Hoarded BERLIN, June 13 Russia's policy of harassing the Allies in Berlin has backfired and caused a wave oi war hysteria in East Germany, reliable German informants said Friday. East Germans are crowding government-owned stores in search of flour, sugar, fats and other goods they are permitted to buy at high prices without ration coupons, it was reported. Staples Depleted So great is the demand for items which may be horded that stocks of staple goods have been depleted and many stores have instituted an unofficial ration system, informants said.

In their latest moves, the Russians slowed up truck traffic Friday on the 110-mile "lifeline" superhighway leading to West Germany. Alfred Neumann, deputy mayor of the Soviet sector of Berlin, threatened further restriction of movement between the West and East sectors to keep' out "spies, diversionists and smugglers." East German Communists released 'Friday a West Berlin res- owner who was kidnaped three days ago from the border-line between western and eastern sections of the city. They continued "to hold two West German newspapermen kidnaped at the same time. Stock Market TRADING IS QUIET NEW YORK, June 13 stock market held to a sllshtly upside course today with trading quiet.

In discussing steps to integrate white and Negro troops in the armed forces, Truman commented that "some of our greatest generals have said that our forces had to have segregated units. But our experience has proved that this is nonsense." Truman named no names in this connection, but on April 3, 1948, testifying to a senate committee on universal military training, Eisenhower said "I personally have always stood since that time (1944, when Negro platoons were formed from volunteers for line service) for organizing the Negro down to include units no larger than platoons." (Platoons are made up of two or more squads and number 40 to 50 men.) Given Minor Jobs "If you make a complete amal- nd gamation," Eisenhower went on, wo "what you are going to have is, in every company, the Negro is going to be relegated to the minor jobs, and he is never going to get his promotion to such grades as technical sergeant, master sergeant, and so on because the com- 1- 1 J2.32',».34V..
