GERMAN MILITARY FORCES
REBUILDING BY WEST ALLEGED (Rec. 8 p.m.) MOSCOW, March 27. “Just as she did after the Versailles Treaty Germany is now with the help of the British and American occupation authorities reconstructing her military forces,” says the Red Army newspaper “Red Star.” “Camps have been established in the Western zones ostensibly to educate German youth in the spirit of democracy. This finds expression in the learning of • grenade throwing, bayonet fighting, and similar aspects of military training.” The newspaper adds that the British and American authorities have formed a German Black Guard drafted from German unemployed and former war prisoners. Terrorists Kill Two Britons.—A British sergeant was killed and another died of wounds in a clash with Malayan terrorists near Ipoh. A terrorist threw a hand grenade at the soldiers from a tree-top. Both were members of the Fourth Hussars. — Singapore, March 27*
