Crisis on Berlin 250.000 of 2 Million Germans In Western Zone Jobless

looms.

By The Scripps-Howard Newspapers

Number of tnemployed (already 250,000 out of 2

million Germans in our zone) is going up. Air lift and military government which had supplied many jobs are gone. German industry, fearing another blockade, is moving farther back into western zone. If Berlin has a hard winter; if poverty, suffering,

bitterness mount, Russia's expected to try to capitalize on it. She may demand plebiscite to determine Berlin'§

future.

Earlier, when Western Powers favored this, Russia . blocked it. This winter, we'd be in danger of defeat as she was then; would probably try to blogk it. Over-all strategic defense plan for North Atlantic Pact countries will be approved in Paris by end of the week. Once it's done, U. S. will start spending $900 million Congress voted for foreign military aid programs.

President Disclaims ‘Collective Guilt’ But Says All Germans Feel Ashamed

respondent for Jewish publications, in an exclusive interview for

the United Press. But he said that they “do acp that the German

cept the view that th a people should feel collectively

ashamed.” He sald that the hew West gov! t will’ create a special section of Jewish affairs and assume “a positive

. attftide” on. the problem of

restitution to Jewish victims of the Hitler regime. With the sympathetic help and understanding of the new

... government, Mr. Heuss said,

he believed “it will be possible to slowly rebuild Jewish life in Germany.” Welcomes Return “1 would welcome the return to Germany of Jews, especially those who still feel a spiritual kinship with this country and who have economic interests here,” he said. He emphasized, however, that he could not consider issuing a public invitation to German Jews abroad to return to Germany. “One cannot, in view of the state of Germany,” Mr. Heuss said. “It is not possible to assure them decent living conditions. “Germany today is terribly overpopulated. But 1 would welcome the return of every German Jew who has not severed his cultural, economic and personal ties with Germany. He would find here a friendly atmosphere and would not feel the evil influences of naziism.” Asked about the desecration of a Jewish -cemetery in Gery many. Mr. Heuss said: “Every desecration of a cemetery is a lost battle for Germany in the moral eyes of the world. The perpetrators of such acts are cowards that want the new, democratic Germany to lose its battle for a place among the democratic nations of the -world.”

Feeling of Shame Mr. Heuss did not minimize the problems facing Germany as a result of the Nazi regime. “I want to state frankly and honestly that every good German has a feeling of shame because he belonged to a people who made the Jews the object of -an unprecedented slaughter,” he said. “But I also know that many Jews realize that the hatred of Jews by the Nazis cannot and should not be reciprocated by hatred and condemnation of all Germans. “1 know the opinion is gainJng ground among Jews that a distinction has to be drawn betwéen Nazis and Germans and that German and Nazis are not one and the same.” While assuring a “positive attitude” by the government on the question of restitution, Mr. Hess cautioned: “This will probably be a lengthy process. As for payments, the sums involved are 50 great that at present we simply have not got the means to meet them at once. Therefore,. payments will have. to be made in instalments, ‘over a long period.” Welcomes 1srael Mr. Huess said he would make a public statement on his attitude toward the Jewish people at the conference of the Association of Christians and
