EAST GERMAN ELECTIONS
BERLIN, October 14. The British, American, and French High Commissioners in Germany announced yesterday that they had told the Soviet Union that they could not recognise the elections, to be held on Sunday in East Germany, as giving the Soviet zone regime any legitimacy or claim to represent the people of East Germany. They sent similar letters to General Chuikov, the Soviet Commander-in-Chief in Germany, saying that the single list of candidates m Sunday’s elections “will deny to East Germany democratic Parliamentary government and those democratic processes under which German unification can become a reality.” Western correspondents have been refused permission to observe the elections.
