(AP Wirephoto Map) Two Million In W. Berlin FedbylLS. Continued From Page 1 eration have been questioned, often for hours, by the dreaded Soviet secret police. The Red Armys high command was said to be shifting units which had been used to crush the demonstration to points as far away from the scene of the riots as possible. An especially severe purge was reported in the 73rd rifle regiment, which cut down the uprising in Magdeburg, one of the centers of resistance in the June riots.

The Communists made spot checks for identity cards through out Soviet zone today in a new effort to terrorize East Germans seeking "Eisenhower food packages." SPECIAL squads were reported being sent to factories to force workers to produce their identity cards. Those who did not have the cards with them were reported to police for action, according to East Germans who ran the blockade to West Berlin. East Germans who could not come to the West themselves for the free food have been giving their identity cards to friends and relatives. West Berlin distribution offices issued a food parcel for each identity card presented by any person. The spot checks combined with a tightened rail and road blockade cut the flow of East Germans to the West.

WESTERN officials estimated less than 100,000 persons applied for food parcels Sunday and today. The previous daily average was about 150,000. West German officials met to discuss a new and bigger free food campaign despite the new squeeze imposed on East German food- seekers by Soviet zone authorities. The give-away program went Into its third week with more than 2,020,000 seven-pound parcels of lard, flour, milk and dried beans carried into Communist Germany. About 500,000 packages are left to be distributed before the present program ends next Saturday.

MAYOR Ernst Reuter of West Berlin met with representatives of the Bonn government to work out a second food and campaign to go into effect when the first one ends. President Eisenhower has promised food will be flown in at a rate of 5,000 tons a week under his 000,000 program.

This was the exchange group that was switched by the Reds. Tuesday's group, the Reds an nounced, all will be in srood health.

N. soldiers returned in seven days to 2,774, including 623 of 3,313 Americans the Reds said they held. The Communists have said they will return 12,763 prisoners all told.
