From Page One) cussion of any contemplated change in the army command in Germany. Asked io comment on a columnist's report that Clay had renewed his request for retirement, Royall said: "I know of no recent request for retirement by General Clay. I have heard rumors some time ago of changes in Germany, but not recently." Clay had intended to retire this year, but dropped his plans when the Russians blockaded Berlin. Clay later told the United Press he has not renewed his ap plication 'for retirement, and described the columnist's story as "untrue." Royall said Russian concentration camps contained 13,000.0001 persons. The figure, he said, was based on a "most reliable intelligence summary.” The 13,000.000. he said, included , only the camps in Russia' proper. He said the report was that 9,000.000 of the prisoners were Russians. 2.000.000 Germans and 2.000.000 Poles, Czechs and petsons of other nationalities. The estimates did not include war prisoners. in the countries he has visited on this current trip. Royal! said, he was impressed by the "great j courage and determination t< ■tand up against totalitarian ag I gression and imposition." The *i)ec 5 election in Berlin j he said, was a "dramatic example" of this courage. “The western Europeans ere de 1 termined to defend their freedom.
