Anti-Reds Clash With Police

Berlin, Aug. 2.

East Germans revolted again against their Communist government tonight after the Com- munists had clamped down a road and rail block- ade of Berlin for 18,000,000 Soviet Zone residents seeking gift food parcels.

In towns through East Germany, furious anti- Communists set fire to government buildings, fought with police and called strikes in a new effort to overthrow the Soviet-backed government.

The revolt began in Chemnitz, Merseburg and Potsdam and spread to other cities and

towns like wildfire, according to reports given by East Germans who managed to run the Communist blockade and get

Pays Sunday Visit To The Queen

CAUSES POLITICAL STIR

London, Aug. 3.

Sir Winston Churchill caused a political stir last night by paying a visit to Queen Elizabeth at Royal Lodge, Windsor.

The Prime Minister went by car to Windsor from Chequers, his Buckinghamshire official re sidence about 25 miles distant and had a 45 minutes' audience with the Sovereign.

The audience announced in the official Court cir cular immediately provoked surpriss and speculation as to whether it portended any new political develop

mont.

Sir Winston, who on doctors' orders has been resting for over a month, has not seen the Queen since visiting her al Buckingham Palace on Juno: 22. In the interval there has been a welter of newspaper speculation on the Prime Minister's future-and the possibility of his retirement.

According to authoritative quarters his visit to the Queen Inst night had no political significance.

Normally, the Prime Minister and Queen Elizabeth met week- ly. That has been impossible recently and as the Queen leaves for Scotland tomorrow, for a long holiday it was desirable that they should have a talk before her departure.
