West Berlin’s Mayor
Battles With Soviets
Washington, Oct. 16 (if)—His tourists. Climax of the affair
■ . ---- — —
official title is mayor of the West
Berlin borough of Kreutzberg,
but Willy Krcssmann is not an of-
ficial type. He has been called a
clown and he has been called a
secret weapon against commun-
ism, but basically he is an irre-
pressible imp whose heart and
mind are in the right place.
Mayor Willy has stuck to un-
conventional methods to achieve
useful ends. Recently he raised
eyebrows in free West Berlin by
throwing a party for 25 Russian

came when Willy danced his per-
sonal version :of the boggie-woogie
with a pretty Soviet visitor. The
Wept Berlin cabinet stiffly ex-
pressed its disapproval of the af-
fair. This despite (the fact that
Willy took the opportunity to
needle his Russian guests.
During the party at his modern-
istic city hall, Kressmann called
their attention to a specially pre-
pared map of Moscow showing
the Soviet capital divided in the
same manner as Berlin. It didn’t
take the Russians long to get the
point.
Some time ago, Kressman put
the Bast Berlin authorities on the
spot by asking permission to make
a political speech in their sector.
The Reds, he said innocently, had
b,een clamoring for closer ties
with the West, so here was their
chance to prove that they meant
what they said.
After much hemming and haw-
ing, and consulting with the fel-
lows at the top, he was allowed to
speak. This was provided he ad-
dressed a closed gathering of East
Berliners belonging to his own so-
cialist party. Kressman accepted
and became the first Western poli-
tician to speak in the Communist
sector since the city was divided
in 1948.
In 1953, after the bitter anti*
Red riots in the East Zone, Kress-
mann enraged the Communists by
inviting hungry East Berliners
into his borough to receive food.
The eastern moguls then dubbed
him “Texas Willy,” and called
him a tool of the West.
He happens to be very proud
of his “Texas Willy” tag, by the
way. His American tour in J952
remains onp of the mayor’s favor-
ite topics. His standard observa-
tion on the subject goes some-
thing like this, “I still haven’t
been able to think of anything
that I found disappointing about
America.” <
He was particularly enthusias-
tic about Texas and Texans. Their
independent ways won him com-
pletely, and since then doing the
unusual is routine for the ebull-
ient West Berlin mayor.
Kressman spent the Hitler years
in exile. Returning to Germany
after the war, he entered politics
and was elected mayor of Kreutz-
berg in 1949. His problems were
huge. The borough was West Ber-
lin’s poorest, and about half of
it had been leveled in wartime
bombing.
The mayor keeps himself acces-
sible to his constituents and his
popularity has been steady. The
man has done a great deal to
build up confidence in his baili-
wick. He may play the clown on
occasion, but he has serious, con-
structive ideas. He once proposed
an international committee to
study food needs in underpriv-
ileged nations.
On another front, he has made
it his business to expose the Com-
munists on every likely occasion.
He was the one who proved with
statistics at hand that the East
Berlin claim of full employment
was without foundation.
Mayor Kressman is barely 49.

Argentina Orders
Watchdog Board
On Communists
« > i
Buenos Aires, Oct. 16 UP—Ar-
gentina’s post-Peron regime has
ordered the nation’s totalitarian
fronts —from Communist to ex-
treme rightist—to operate under
true descriptions.
A 5-number watchdog board
will designate totalitarian-groups
for what they are. The group is
called the board for the defense
of democracy.
This is a blow to the Commun-
ists. In recent months they have
increased their activities through
a score or more front organiza-
tions.
The totalitarian identification
order also cracks down on fascist
