East Germany Throes of
In
Fake Election
Berlin, Oct. 15.
From early this morning East Germany echoed to the noise of tramping feet and the boom- ing command “Ja, Ja, Ja" ("Yes") from street loudspeakers as 14,000,000 voters hustled to the polls in a high pressure Communist bid for as nearly as possible a 100 percent response to today's : general elections.
No Western newspaper reporters were allowed inside the Soviet Zone to witness them, but official radio and newspaper accounts suggested that the East German population was sastir at dawn with an enthusiasm amounting to football Cup Tie or Zutumn sale-fever.

U.S. DEVISES NEW FORMULA FOR UN POLICE FORCE
Lake Success, Oct. 15.
The United States will put before the United Nations' main Political Committee today its revised version of the resolution to give the General As- sembly a military team for use against aggressors, with prospects that a vote will be reached this week.
The United States and its six co-sponsors revised the revolutionary measure to include the bulk of suggested amendments. In particular, they included the essence of the parallel Chilean resolution. The result, in the opinion of Western observers, is a resolution that will command over- whelming support-aside from Russia and her Cominform partners.
