Acheson Rejects German People's Congress Delegates
In Paris Secretary of State Acheson rejects a Soviet proposal to hear German People's Congress delegates, calling the congress a Soviet puppet with no power to speak for Germans.

Eisler was elected a member, seen by diplomats as a blow to the congress from the U.S. view.
