SURVEY

Berlin, Aug. 31-The "People's Police" in the Soviet Zone bears little resemblance to a peace-time organisation and is being trained purely on military lines, the British Military Government asserted in a survey published today.

This survey of the Soviet Zone police force did not estimate the total strength of the so-called police "bereitschaften" (armed reserves), but the German Press has recently placed the figure at between 80,- 000 and 100,000.
