MAN OPPOSED BY RUSSIANS ELECTED BERLIN’S MAYOR
(Hec. 10 a.m.) BERLIN, June 24. The City Assembly elected Professor Ernst Reuter (Social Democratic) Mayor of Berlin. The Soviet occupation authorities opposed Reuter, who, before Hitler’s rise, was a transport expert, and later chief mayor of Magdeburg. He spent a year in a concentration camp, but escaped to Turkey and returned to Germany after the war. The authorities in the British zone and in the British Sector of Berlin have removed 3,286 Germans from office in the past few months on the grounds of their former association with the Nazis. The number of Nazis removed or excluded from office since the occupation began totals 324.603.
