Secretary Brucker Warns Os Trouble WASHINGTON (UPD — Army Secretary Wilber M. Brucker warned today that the West still can expect trouble in Berlin at the end of May. Brucker said that, if trouble starts, the United States is "not going o be an appearer.” He said the U.S. 7th Army in Germany is poised to “defend against any act of aggression” and if there is any aggression there is “no doubt that the maximum will be given" in return. Brucker, just back from a 19day European trip, said Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev had done nothing to “automatically" set aside the May 27 deadline on his "get out” ultimatum to the West. Last November, Khrushchev said Russia would take steps to get the Western Allies out of Berlin if such a move had not been made voluntarily by May 27. Brucker also told a news conference that no more than 4 to 15 per cent of East Germans would support the Communists in “real secret elections.” He said he was assured on highest authority during his visit to Berlin that the “east German people are not sympathetic with he Russian atempt to keep' East Germany under its heel." He said that Russia could make use of the three East German divisions only by marching them to battle with guns at their backs. Trade in i» *tood ♦own — Lecatm.
