Yesterday’s climaxing parade of 500,000 communist-led youth went off with precision, with shouted hate for the west—and without incident. Both sides claimed victories but the facts showed only a continuing deadlock. The Soviet-sponsored “March on Berlin by rank after rank of blue-shirted “free German youth” turned out be just another big communist demonstration, not the threatened Putsch for which the west had prepared. Throughout the blustery day of rain and sun yesterday the communists demonstrated their ordered hate of the west and their professed love for the Soviet Union—and showed by their iron discipline that the east was firmly in the communist grip. East Germany’s communist president, Wilhelm Pieck, sounded the theme of the big Whitsuntide week-end rally. He hailed Stalin as “the greatest and best friend of the German people.” He told the cheering mass that the west’s “imperialist foreign ministers” had tried to “get Germany’s youth for cannon fodder and use west Germany as a base for a new war.” West Berlin Quiet West Berlin was quiet, almost like an ordinary Sunday, except that west German police and western allied troops lined the streets on watch against possible trouble.
