SEQUEL TO DISMISSAL
OF OFFICIALS
Berlin, Dec. 21-Political observers in Berlin declared today that the swift succession of rulings by the Soviet military headquarters, which ́ ́had resulted in the dismissal during the weekend of three leaders of the Christian Democrat Union, might soon be followed by "important political events."
One such development, it was suggested, might be a plebiscite by which Germans in the Soviet occu- pation Zone could "determine their destiny"--such as was demanded on Saturday for the whole of Germany by the Permanent Committee of the "People's Congress", an organisation created under the sponsorship of the Soviet-supported Socialist Unity Party..

ADVISED TO FORM THIRD
POLITICAL PARTY
Washington, Dec. 21.-Mr Henry Wallace, the former Democrat Vice-President of the United States, has been subjected this week to strong pres- sure from the extreme Leftwing of his supporters to found a third political party and declare im- mediately his intention of becoming a candidate for the Presidency next year in opposition to both the Republican and Democrat candidates,
Mr Wallace has, so far, avoided committing himself in any way, but reports that he was inclining towards setting up a third party were sufficient to cause a split in the diminished number of organisa- tions which still strongly support him.
