'"Rut American troops "oxt d-iy withdrow from th Berlin sub urbs to the river Elbe about 50 miles south. "This withdrawal was ordered larcelv bt cause of a previous ifreement with the Russians that thev were to oecuny Berlin and because of their insistence that the .ireernent be kent. "The disagreement with the Rusinrc started about fo'ir davs b- fore President Roosevelt died, when Stalin sent him a verv harn rote. But the final decision to withdraw from the suburbs of Berlin was made after his death, largely by General Eisen hower. "Berlin by May" "The facts in the situation are eorpolica'ed and date back to the Yalta conforon- where Stalin said that the 'Red armv would be ready to begin their Oder river offensive in May." The Rus--ian advance had Daused on the Oder river, just 30 miles from Berlin, after the early smin.g thaw, and Sfalin indicated he would take Vienna first, then concentrate- on Berlin in May. This met no objection from Churchill and Roosevelt. "After Yalta, however. the Germans unexoectcdlv transferr er their Cth Armored armv. in cluding seven armored divisions, plus several other infantry di visions from the Rhine to the eastern front to block the Rus sians. This helped to speed the American advance. Also there seemed to be definite evidence that the Germans preferred hav ing their country occupied by American troops and surrender ed in tremendous numbers. "So at the height of the rapid U. S. advance, and just before Roosevelt's death, Stalin sent him a brusaue note accusing the United States of making a deal with the nazis in order to ad vance more rapidly through Ger many. The note was couched in most caustic and critical langu age. The inference was that a U. S. -German deal had per mitted the nazis to transfer more troops to the eastern front and thus kill more Russians.' (Copyright, 1948, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.)
