Stockholm, 24-Jan 1954
Berlin, 23 January 1954 (By own correspondent) -- According to reports
from the GDR, dependents of Soviet Army officers and officials in the Soviet
occupation administration in recent days have begun to arrive in great numbers
in the GDR.
To provire living quarters for the approximately 1,000 women and children
arriving daily, the Soviets are requisitioning houses and apartments in all the
cities and comm?,mities at which Soviet troops are garrisoned. Everyday, East
Germans arriving in West Berlin give as the reason for their flight the fact
that their homes have been taken over by the Soviets. The arrival of the de-
pendents indicates that the Soviets do not think the Berlin Conferedce will
bring about the withdrawal of the occupation troops.
