While the Allied High Commissioners and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer dickered, Soviet puppets kept new sideshows going in East Germany. Wilhelm Pieck, East German President, returned from six weeks in Moscow. East Germany took honey, soap and rayon off the ration list, and Propaganda Boss Gerhart Eisler cooed his "deep regrets" that West Germans wouldn't be able to enjoy the same privileges until unification-though the fact is that such rations are no problem in West Germany. East German Premier Otto Grotewohl announced an amnesty for 20,000 prisoners (crimes unspecified, presumably political...

She became the "ideal progressive woman," combining "beauty, Marxist dialectic and industry." In addition to her work at the mill, she had to join Communist committees and youth groups, had to travel around the country making speeches to workers and peasants...

Like Confessions, the new movie wears documentary trimmings. Based on the true story of Pittsburgh's Matt Cvetic, who served the FBI for nine years as an undercover agent in the Communist Party, the picture uses Communist Big Shot Gerhardt Eisler (played by Konstantin Shayne) as one of its characters, bolsters its footage with newsreel shots of the uproar and street brawls the Reds organized during 1949's Manhattan trial of eleven U.S. Communist leaders. The personal torment of the picture's hero (Frank Lovejoy), suffering the bitter contempt of his anti-Communist son and brothers without...
