GERMAN IN BERLIN RALLY
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, MONDAY, MAY 80, 1949.
COMMUNISTS
Delegation To Be Sent To Paris
Berlin, May 29.-The Red flag of the Soviet Union and the green, red and gold ban- ner of the Weimar Republic flew in the flower- bedecked Berlin State Opera House today, as 1,500 delegates met for the two-day session of the Communist-sponsored German People's Congress.
Soviet officials looked down from a re- served box on the delegates, who included 200 chosen from among the "democratic groups" in Western Germany, where the Congress is banned.
The Eastern German delegates were elected by ballot two weeks ago, when voters had the option of voting "Yes" or "No" to a single list of candidates."
