One difficulty is foreseen who can Tell if its aircraft whirring along the Highway for a the Russi using both an Iron hand and kid Glove to win the Friendship of conquered germans by Paul Green stars and stripes staff writer. A1lied correspondents thus far have Quot had Little Opportunity to travel in the russian occupation Aone in Germany and to observe the development of soviet policy. Moat of what la known about Rumian policy has been announced by official sources and this has been issued intermittently in Small doses. Collecting these scattered bits of information however presents an interesting picture of the behaviour of russians toward the citizens of a nation that plunged them into the most critical War of their history. American soldiers at first believed that russian Els did no to observe any non fraternization Rule in their occupation Aone and shacked up at will. This belief was supported by various facts. Russian officials done to publicize any non Fra Telza Tion rules. Allied military men who travelled in the russian area saw soviet soldiers associating freely with Reich Fraulein. Swedish diplomats in Berlin when the russians entered noticed German women often in the company of russian officers and pie there does however appear to be some sort of non fraternization policy. Allied correspondents in Berlin were told that close personal relations with German to a men meant severe punishment for red i army men. A stars and stripes Corree a pendent who crossed the american lines along the Mulde River into the territory j of the first ukrainian army heard from the soviet commandant that fraternizing 5 by russian soldiers brought five Days imprisonment russian officers lost in addition half their pay during the period involved. However. Some reports indicated that being seen with an anti nazi woman might not be so bad As fraternizing w the the Ordinary Type. A a no pampering but no brutality was the pay a soviet spokesman summed lip the russian attitude. The russians Are ruthless with nazi party members Stem with military men but co operative with rt4 a Iff we go i. I t r. The bulk of the population. They Are working on the theory that the germans have been misled and can be changed. Their keyed to this theme. With signs carrying .  famous statement a hitlers come and go but the German people and the German state remain. Significant of the change in russian feeling was the Public reprimand Given correspondent Hya Ehrenborg who had consistently written that All germans were evil Phe russians Are making a 1 propaganda Effort to win the German masses. The keynote of a a Stem but Friendly soviet neighbor la maintained in the newspapers which Germana Are permitted to edit and stressed Over radio Berlin the chief russian radio outlet Over radio Berlin propaganda talks Are Given frequently by Germana under russian direction. The station Speaks continually of the welfare and happiness of the German people and Freedom from nazi tyranny. Germans Are often quoted expressing satisfaction at a the unexpected leniency and efficiency of the russians. The food situation is a Good example of Success of radio Berlin. Germans in every Comer of the country in both the russian and Allied zones believe that the russians Are making a distinct Effort to feed the germans liberally whereas the allies done to particularly care. Yet official figures reveal this Story German workers in Berlin receive rations exceeding at times 2.000 calories while those who do not work get much less in the american 15th army zone heavy workers get a minimum of 2.000 calories and the average German gets somewhat less. Thanks to Clever presentation Over radio Berlin this relatively Small difference has been magnified Many times Over the russians also Snow a different approach in other matters. As opposed to the Allied policy of a political  they Are supporting anti nazis in every Field. Formation of political parties is encouraged and catholics. Social democrats and communists Are allowed to propaganda. Organization of unions affiliated with the free German Trade Union Congress is proceeding rapidly in Many industries. Anti nazis released from concentration Camps Are appointed to important posts in the local administrations. The new Burgo Melster of Berlin for instance is or. Arthur Werner who had been arrested by the Gestapo. The russians feel that aiding anti fascists regain their strength will undermine fascists still in Power and Root out the Type of reactionary German who under the cloak of the Weimar regime paved the Way for the nazi dictatorship the russians will to a great extent rely on education to change the germans. In this work they use germans themselves. A victims of a seism committee composed of germans persecuted by Hitler has been established to tep the German people the truth about nazism. The russians will emphasize the Horr cps of the nazi regime in movies newspaper lectures and radio. Textbooks being printed by the russians for the opening of her Man schools in autumn emphasize. This them but on the other hand they lab discuss the great heritage of German Patton and the debt the world owes germans As Bach Beethoven Kant and Goethe. There is no doubt about the russian. Policy having a Strong effect on the Ger. Mans. A they Are still afraid of us a a Sian admitted a but they Are very much. Surprised at the treatment they Are getting. They Are beginning to respect us which is one step toward respecting the things we fought  a a a typical German said a things Are bet. Ter now than they have been for a Long a time. We Are worried about the fut i. But we have More for the present than we thought we would get. The russians Are not Savages. They Are  the russians human coming from a German who lived 12 years under Hitler that in itself seems a Triumph of soviet activity in Germany.
