(CP)--Between 1,400 and 1,500 Ford of Canada em- ployees will be dismissed during the company announced Monday.

He said two men met him at Las fess and "told me I could not the test for security reasons." Tc "dy a Washington dispatch to the I¢w York Herald Tribune said that Condon 'has been under study as a. security risk by the military services as well 'as by the atomic energy commission."

Condon, a freshman California € said in an inter- view Monday the commission's action could mean 'political sui- cide" to him unless it was thor- oughly understood in his home district. He said he will take the floor of the House of Represent- atives this week, "to make a full and public statement as to my position." He said former chairman of the AEC, Gordon Dean, later admitted \'some sort of mistake' and added "my status with the commission now is the same as any other mem- ber of this Congress."

Officials said the latest order was dispatched to end confusion which resulted from 10 earlier di- rectives.

BERLIN (AP)--The West Berlin newspaper Telegraf said today that 46 Communist German "peoples' police" have been executed by Russian firing squads for "dis- obeying orders and resisting the Red army" during the June 17 workers revolt in East Germany. No source was given for the re- port, which is considerably higher than any previous estimate of the number of police executions. -Ref- ugee reports have confirmed, how- ever, that the Red German police proved in the uprising that the Rus- sians could not rely upon them against their own people. The "Vopos"--volkspolizei -- often re- fused to fire on rioters and some- times even joined the rebels. Some Unreliable Policemen Executed By Red Bosses 500 have oY to West Berlin in the last month. Spurred by serious food short- ages, the Communist East German government held out new promises to disgruntled farmers today to lure them into delivering quotas asked from the new grain harvest. Quotas were reduced and more credit and farm machinery prom- ised, according to the West Berlin Morgenpost. Demonstrations in front of empty food stores were reported in many sections. The harvest, which be- gan last week, is expected to be slim because 50° many experienced farmers have fled to the West, hampered by Communist red tape and lack of equipment. Dr, James B. Conant, U, S. high commissioner in Germany came to West Berlin today for an on- the-spot study of the situation caused by the Russian martial law barricade dividing the four-power city. The three Western command- ants Monday night made a new demand on the Soviets to lift their armed blockade of the sector border and restore to Berliners "the right to circulate freely throughout their city." Although it has been 20 days since the June 17 revolt, there was still no indication of when martial law would be lifted in East Berlin.
