...Russian zone, youngsters this week set out by train, bus and on foot for the long-heralded Whitsuntide demonstration in Berlin. Squads of Communist youths sneaked into West Berlin to paste up Red propaganda posters (see cut). The latest pronouncement from Red Germany's Propaganda Chief Gerhart Eisler was that the demonstration would be a strictly peaceful affair. But U.S. officials were not willing to take Eisler's word for it. The U.S. had announced that it would use force, if necessary, to hold the West's position in Berlin...
...Proof. As the hearing recessed, the evidence against Lattimore was entirely based on hearsay, as Budenz himself admitted. But it had come from a man whose testimony could not lightly be dismissed.

With their wiggling disruption of truck traffic from the West and the launching of Pushkin's pogrom, the heat went on again. Sly Gerhart Eisler, now propaganda boss for Eastern Germany, announced a Soviet Youth March for Whitsuntide (May 27-30). With flag and fife, said he, special "people's police" units would lead half a million members of Communist youth groups in a demonstration into Western Berlin. German anti-Communists were sure that the Reds would try to take the opportunity to provoke violence...
