Underground resistance grows in East Germany
Richard S. Weil reports from Berlin on a fast-growing underground army in Soviet Germany resisting Communist oppression. Key groups include Polish resistance and N. T. S. saboteurs aided by Western press articles and local sympathizers, with plans for a half million strong reserve. Authorities cite 2900 sabotage cases in Thuringia and a security service likened to a Gestapo by opponents. The article details torture claims, repeated regrouping after raids, and the constant influx of volunteers amid rising anti Communist sentiment.

Magnuson Ousted as Chief In V. A. Medical Controversy
Dr. Paul B. Magnuson, medical director of the Veterans Administration, says he has been ousted and accuses Administrator Carl R. Gray Jr. of endorsing policies that would wreck VA medicine. Gray says Magnuson offered resignation years ago, while Magnuson claims he refused. The dispute centers on whether doctors or nonmedical officials should run VA hospitals, a clash magnified by red tape concerns and past visions for VA care. The two men have clashed since 1948, with Magnuson warning of a return to inefficient systems if Gray’s policies prevail. A VA consultants’ board session is set to discuss the matter.
