German Reds Call For 120000 Troops To Gain Jump On U S
East German authorities announce plans to raise a 12 division national army by 1952 to counter West Germany and a potential Western mobilization. The Wilhelm Pick Battalion of 609 men is cited as the first unit, with 60,000 police cadres slated as division nuclei. Meanwhile, reports from East Berlin describe residents forming an underground army to resist evictions along the Iron Curtain.

Sailor Strike Accord Seen to End West Coast Walkout
In San Francisco on June 17, an end to the 42 day AFL sailors strike in West Coast ports seemed near after a settlement of a jurisdiction dispute and a long first meeting between rival unions, shipping interests, and the NLRB. A neutral hiring hall will pick employees impartially from both unions until a collective bargaining election is held, but the President Cleveland voyage to the Far East was delayed for lack of stewards signing on. The MCS objected unofficially to a rival AFL steward being hired.
