Allied move surprises with plan for Bonn style government
German officials described the Allied proposal as a surprise step toward broadening the German economic council in the Western zones.

Communist critics call it a camouflage for a separate Western German state, but U S and British leaders say the aim remains a united Germany under a German government.
