To Former Nazis

Berlin, Aug. 28.-The Russians have restored full citizenship to all former Nazis in Eastern Berlin, except a few known war criminals.

This was disclosed today by the Soviet-licensed National Zeitung, a newspaper which appeals frank- ly to one-time followers of the Nazi party philo- sophy.

The action of restoring full rights was taken by the Count- munist-dominated magistrat, created by the Russians during the blockade as a rival to the legally clected West Berlin city EUvernment.
