E. German Security Minister
Dismissed
DEPT. REDUCED
TO STATUS OF
A SECRETARIAT
Berlin, July 25.
East Germany has dismissed its Security Minister, Herr Wilhelm Zaisser — close friend of the former Soviet Home Minister, Lavrenti Beris, and the second member of the East Zone Govern- ment to fall since Beria was purged,
Herr Zaisser's Ministry has been reduced to a secretariat at the Interior Ministry and put in charge of ex-sailor Ernst Wollweber, believed by West Germans to be the man who directs Commu- nist shipping strikes in all parts of the world.
Herr Zaisser, under the name of “General Gomez" commanded the first International Brigade in the Spanish Civil War. Afterwards he worked in Soviet Military intelligence and was a longstanding friend of Stalin.
Last night's announcement said nothing about his
very future.
