PROTEST AGAINST RED Whipped By
RUMP GOVT.
Berlin Problem
Paris, Dec. 5.—The Western powers charged on Sunday night that Russia directly dis- regarded the expressed wish of the President of the United Nations Security Council by setting up a rump government in Berlin.
They told the United Nations the Soviet government "will end all possibility of the legal, unified ad- ministration functioning on a city- wide basis" and will make the establishment of a single currency for Berlin "extremely difficult."
1
The charge wus contained in British, American and French memorandum mnade public here shortly after the polis closed in the municipal elections held in Berlin's three Western sectors.
The memorandum contained general comment and chronology elted specie Instances in which the Western
powers charged Russlo failed to co-operate with the four- power administration in Berlin,
NO PROGRESS
Western delcgation Bources said the document W83 not meant specifically to be submitted in con- nection with Berlin's elcelions but the elections were watched closely here.
There was no sign any progress had been made in the United Nation toward settling the Berlin problem.
ad-
The memorandum said it would be dificult to exerelse four power Control of currency in a city in
previous unified which the ministration under the four-power control was not fully functioning.
"In diaregard of the expressed of the wish of the President Security Counell that any steps should be avoided whilch would lead to complication of the Berlin crisis," the memorandum sald, "develop- ments instigated
Soviet by the Command In Germany have now stil further detracted from the uriifled administration."
ILLEGAL BODY
It added: "On the afternoon of November 30, the Soviet nuthorities countenanced, and Indeed ch- couraged, a series of events in their sector which have completed the tra- exclusion of the legal city administra- tion from its proper seat in the Soviet sector and from the exercise of its legal authority in the areas of Berlin which are under the, Soviet occupation."
Polish Communists And
Socialists Merge
SEQUEL TO BLOODLESS REVOLUTION
Warsaw, Dec. 5.—Poland's bloodless revolution idnters a new decisive phase with the merger in Warsaw on December 15 of the Polish Communist and Socialist parties-the two dominant political groups here.
The fusion is the climax to a series of measures by which the Co-operative Movement, the trade unions, youth organisations and now the Socialist party itself, have successfully during the past year come under Communist control.
The new party, the United Workers Party, will, for the first time, givo the Polish Communists open domina- tion over all the other parties and wifi formally establish Marxism as the political basis of the Polish State.
The fusion of the two parties will take place between December 15 and 20 at a national rally of 2,000 Socialist and Communist delegates.
NEW IDEOLOGY The President of the Polish Re- public. M. Bodeslaw Bierut, who is of the Polish Secretary General
the Prime Communist Party, and Minister, M. Josef Cyrankiewicz, the Socialist Patry, will jointly outline the ideological basis of the Parts.
