Berlin Blockade'[Lifting Raises
Hopes for Successful Talks
MOSCOW, May 12—(AP)—The
'lifting of the Berlin blockade with
out hitch has encouraged most
'foreign diplomats in Moscow - to
believe the forthcoming four
-power talks on Germany have
some chance of success.
None of these observers is will
ing to make any outright predic
tions, but it is apparent they feel
-agreements can be reached when
the foreign ministers of the Soviet
-Union, Britain, France and the
IJnited States convene in Paris
-'4ay 23.
Envoys who report daily back
to their governments are taking
this line, although they are under
scoring their predictions with cau
tion and inserting numerous quali
fications.
Diplomatic observers liked the
tone of the leading editorial in
the current issue of the magazine
New Times. This predicted that
the Paris meeting “can really be
come a turning point in the course
of the postwar settlement.”

“My people yearn for peace so
poignantly they would almost
snatch at it at any price.”
Their two alternatives are to
resume the civil war, or to submit
to the Communists, who are not
strong enough to establish a cen

again break up into regional gov
ernments.
The resumption of civil war is
the most likely course the people
will choose to compel peace to re
turn, according to Dr. Koo.
Civil war is not new to China.

TIME—late last year:
Just ten years ago, Marion Harper,

sider’s idea of an advertising man. He
was quiet and studious; he did not
wear hand-painted ties, didn’t smoke,
showed not a single huckster char
acteristic.
But he had been an Office boy only
three months when he was moved into
the copy research department where
he could put his liking for market re
search to work. Not long after, Harper
was made manager of copy research:
at 28, only seven years after he had
left Yale, he was vice-president in
charge of research and merchandising.
By bearing down on market studies,
he helped boost the agency’s billings
from $46 million in 1946 to a 1948 rate
of more than $50 million. Last week in
Manhattan, at 32, Marion Harper was
made president as Founder H. K. Mc
Cann, 68, moved up to board chair
man. Said an awed agency director, in
summarizing Harper’s rise: “He ener
gizes people . . . he’s got so much en
ergy himself. The agency has never
had such good teamwork before.”
On Harper’s team is his wife Vir
ginia, whom he met while she was a
clerical worker at the agency and mar
ried in 1942. She is now assistant di
rector of McCann-Erickson’s copy
research department. Having no chil
dren, Mr. & Mrs. Harper sometimes
stay at the office until 2 a.m., working
together. Says Mrs. Harper: “I think
