<By The Associated Press)
Russian-controlled newspapers
in Berlin conceded for the first
time Saturday that serious food
shortages exist in the Soviet-oc
cupied zone of Germany.
Moscow has promised to de
liver 10,800 tons of fat to eastern
Germany *in answer to a request
by the Soviet military adminis
tration. said ADN, the Soviet-li
censed news agency.
The first tip off on the food
situation came last week when
communist publications reported
strong punitive measures against
hoarders in the Russian zone.
Berlin newspapers licensed by
the western allies speculated that
i the food shortage might have been
caused by Soviet requisitioning of
| food from the Russian zone to
meet an announced plan to feed
all Berlin. American and British
sources regard the Russian’s feed
Berlin program as a propaganda
effort designed to overcome re
sentment among the Germans
over the Soviet blockade of the
city.
Germans in the American oc
cupation zone have demonstrated
against high food prices.
The Moscow-directed commun
ist international information bur
eau fCominform) made a new at
tack of Yugoslavias premier mar
Tito. A new issue of the Comin
form bulletin predicted that Tito
and his lieutenants sooner or
later w'ill be replaced as leaders
of the Yugoslav communist party.
Previously the Comi n f o r m
charged Tito with departing from
the party line and pursunig a
hateful policy toward Russia.
Only Friday the official Yugoslav
news agency reported that Tito
has reaffirmed the solidarity of
Yugoslavia with Russia and east
ern Europe’s communist bloc.
At the Danube conference in
Belgrade U. S. ambassador Caen

posed new Danubian shipping
pact would permit Russia to dom
inate Europe’s most important in
land waterway. The pact also
would open the way for Russia to
practice imperialistic discrimina
tion on the river, he said.
The conference rejected 6 to 3
Saturday a United States propos
al to specifically guarantee equal

! cret police.
Officials here immediately rais
ed two questions:
Why had the Russians waited
1 almost four months to break the
case and then chosen a moment of
great excitement here and abroad
;over the Kosenkina and Samarin
1 incidents?
Also why should be customs of
ficial be designated only with the
letter “E” in the public release if
the Soviets considered the charges
legitimate and were bringing le
gal action against him?
State department officials ten
I tatively concluded that the Soviet
1 government is recognizing that it
badly overplayed its charges of
American criminality, kidnaping
and violations of international law
in the case of the two school
j teachers in New York.
; These officials beileve that
probably even in the Soviet Union
itself some facts in the case are
beginning to leak through.
