Communist Wilhelm Pieck and ex-Socialist Otto Gorewohl, co- chairman of the Soviet-sponsored Socialist Unity Party, publicly call- ed upon "al health democratic fofces to fight the new lie campaign against Marxism or Communism." They likened the American cam- paign to "the Hitler-Goebbels cru- sade against democracy." Immediately, the Russian-con- trolled section of Berlin's press, which is in the vast majority, cut loose with ,a barrage of charges against United States policies and motives in Germany. These includ- ed an assertion that the late Nazi Foreign Minister, Joachim Ribben- trop, hanged at Nuernberg as a war criminal, was "one of the founders of the 'American' ideas." This charge was made by the Berlin Zeitung which dug from its files and reprinted on its front page a picture of "capitalist" Rib- bentrop . playing host to Britain's Lord Rothemere during the Nazi era. The Zeitung also began printing American anti-Communist reports under the heading of 'war com- munique" and issued in the style of Wehrmacht field communiques. To- day's report was headed "war com- munique No. 2--Berlin 14 Novembx The High Command reports."

They were reported to have sailed from the Romanian Black Sea port of Constanza, with 10,000 passengers. The third ship, also expected in Palestinian waters early today, was said to be carrying about 1,000 Jews who embarked from the Venice area of Italy Nov. 11, School Buildings Cost $13 Million, Althouse States Toronto, Nov. 15--(CP)--Dr. J.

Althouse, chief director of educa- tion for Ontario, announced yester- day that a school construction pro- gram approved by the edupcation department and scheduled to be completed in 1947 will cost an esti- mated $13,000,000.

There is evidence of growing un- easiness among a section of govern- ment supporters and others over the possible long-term effects of the events which culminated in Dalton's resignation after he had admitted leakage of budget information. Feeling on the question, it is sug- gested, threatens to divide the La- bor Party. Dalton, generally acknowledged to be a brilliant Chancellor, had been steadily rising in popularity. Some quarters argue that it would be a tragedy for the party to lose his ability for all time as a result of a single indiscretion which had no ul- terior motive.
