Blockade of Berlin
BERLIN. June 12-;p)-The
Russians did an abrupt about
face today and called off an hours
old rail traffic block which would
have cut off food and coal from
2,000,000 Germans in Berlin's

The end of the crisis came
when the Russians advised
American and British authorities
that freight trains could move
normally again from western
Germany to Berlin. The first
freight train from the American
zone moved into the Russian zone
from Helmstedr on' the British

The Russian gave no explana

for the future.
Meanwhile, the German com

The political dopesters say that

I am not ready to accept the proph

For one reason, there is no old

Water Stationary
Upriver the situation eased as the

Candidate for
School Board
An expected race for a direc

at the June 21 election, disappear
ed suddenly Saturday with the
withdrawal of Fred Remingtnn

Gardner Knapp, printing firm
partner, as sole candidate for the
post to be vacated by Roy Har
land. Dr. M. E. Gadwa said he had
dropped plans to file a petition he
had taken out. Deadline for can
didates' filing was Saturday.
The election will not be without
issues, however, since taxpayers
of the district will vote on a
measure which would allow the
school board, at its discretion, to
establish kindergartens as a part
of the public school system, and
on a proposed consolidation with

West Salem.
Remington, who lu.d filed for
the office a week ago, told The
Statesman that he had written
both the school district and Knapp
to inform them of his decision. It
was made, he said, because he
believed Knapp s campaign and
service would be progressive, and
he saw no reason to oppose such
a stand. At the time Remington
filed, he noted, no one else had
appeared as candidate for the
"thankless job."

"The refusal of the Soviet Un

for world recovery and world
peace," he said, "is the most bitter
disappointment of our time.
The president again " held the
door open for "an honest nego

flatly any idea of great power

George VeaL pioneer Willamette

'Miss Muf f et'
Wins Portland
Sweepstakes
Salem Cherrians' float "Little
Miss Muffett" took sweepstakes
honors in the non-commercial
class at the Portland Rose fes
tival parade Saturday.
The float was a huge flower-bedecked
platform on which was
raised at one end a floral web. In
the center of the float was a big
spider made of calendulas, white
larkspur, red gladioli, blue corn
flowers, roses, daisies and del
phiniums. Sitting beside it was little Miss
Muffett in the person of Martha
DuRette, of Gervais, Salem Cher
ry festival queen of 1947. The
sides of the float showed floral
cherries. The float was partially
dismantled by the parade crowd,
and therefore will not be on dis
play in Salem as in previous years,
Cherrian officials said.
Standard Oil company's "Ara
bian Nights" float won sweep
stakes in the commercial division.
Hillsboro won first place for ci
ties outside of Portland after Sa
lem moved up to the sweepstakes
division.
A Vanport float took second
place in the annual parade, which
was reviewed by thousands who
lined the route. A drizzling rain
failed to dampen spirits. Forty
floats took part in the mile-long
parade which started at 10 a jn.
For the first time in its history
the parade was shifted out of the
downtown Portland area. It was
held in the southeastern part of
the city where fewer patrolmen
would be required.
Most distant representative in
the parade was the Pasadena
tournament of roses entry.
