BERLIN, Nov. 22 —(AP)
—Soviet Marshal Vassily D.
Sokolovsky denounced the
western Allies’ occupation pol-
icies in Germany in a 10,000-
word attack published today,
and charged United States
and British authorities with
promoting "intensive propa-
ganda for a new war."
Promptly Gen. Luciu* D. Cflay,
the American commantter, de-
scribed the charges of Ruoata'a
chief ta Germany a* a "misrepre-
sentation of known facto."
The bnter Soviet blast almost on
the eve of the Foreign Mintaters
Conference in London apparently
foreshadowed, in the opinion of

of Germany.
