Reds Said Running 13 Slave Camps in Russian Zone
BERLIN Aug 2 The official Berlin Soviet newspaper today charged 13 large and well‑fenced camps were operating in the Russian occupation zone. It said the NKVD ran the camps with thousands of inmates including many Germans deemed undesirable. Two former Nazi camps Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen were named. American reporters were denied access to these camps when seeking tours. The paper also tied Social Democrats to the Soviet merger with the Communists in April 1946.

General Motors Price Increase Signals Industry Rise
Detroit August 2 Automo bile circles questioned a reported 82 to 6 percent price boost by General Motors as a possible early inflationary trend. GM raised prices on all five passenger models and Chevrolets, with Ford and Chrysler watchers unsure if they will follow. GM cited wage costs, steel and material price hikes as factors, saying stocks at former prices were exhausted. Walter P. Reuther of the United Auto Workers warned the move could fuel inflation and unemployment concerns.
