Berlin, Oct. 26.
A worker at the Zeiss optical plant at Jena, Thur- ingia, who stated that he fled to the British zone to evade transportation of technicians and skilled workers to Russia, alleged tonight that Soviet troops had "used rifle butts freely" against reluctant workers.
Many of the Soviet soldiers were drunk, he assert- ed, adding that they packed workers into lor- ries in the Liedenecht Strasse by night. Wo- mcn and children were screaming as 300 fami- lies were taken away, he said.

This year's show will be the first full dress occasion since 1938 and the four-ton gilded coach, specially built for the conveyance of the city's nominal head, will be used after a break of seven years.
The Boogie Woogie band comes into the mile-long procession as port of the tableau of the nation': i worlime mood and the down-beat will be given by, the maestro of a famous, London dance orchestra. Another aspect of this year's show is symbolic. The last ful I scale ceremony was inspired by the theme "London and the De- fence of the Realm" that was nf- tor Munich.
