Braves Edged 4-3; Bearden Saves Victory By Gayle Talbot BOSTON, Oct. 11 -(A3)- Thanks to stout-hearted relief by pitch ing by Gene Bearden in the tense closing minutes of play, the Cleveland Indians staggered through to a 4-3 victory over the Boston Braves in the sixth and deciding game of the world se ries today. In winning its first champion ship in 28 years, the Tribe also was the beneficiary of a lucky double play in the ninth inning which probably saved Bearden from serious trouble. One moment the crowd of ;40, 103 was sitting on the edge of the seats, expectant of a rally that would square the series at three games apiece, and carry the play off right down to a seventh con test tomorrow. The next moment it was all Over for the Boston fans but for the sad filing through the exits, and the Indians were boisteriously pounding Bearden across the back and half-carrying him in triumph off the field. Eddie Stanky, a steady little character right through the series, opened the ninth by drawing a walk as the crowd raved. Connie Ryan ran for him. Then came the heartbreaker. Sibby Sisti went in to pinch-hit for Warren Spahn, who had done a brilliant piece of relief chunking for two innings. and attempted to sacrifice Ryan to second with the tying run. Instead, he bunted under Bear- den's pitched and lofted the ball straight up, directly in front of the plate. Catcher Jim Hegan snared the horsehide and fired it to Joe Gordon, who was covering first, for a double play. The Braves were dead Injuns. Tommy Holmes, hero of Boston's victory in the opening game, lined out to Bob Kennedy in left field to end the contest and make all Cleveland happy. Only the previous inning, the eighth, the Braves brought the customers to their feet by slugging Bob Lemon, Cleveland's starting chunker, from the hill and scor ing twice to draw within a run of the Indians, who apparently had been coasting to an easy win behind the big righthander. When Bearden inherited the ugly situation, the bases were loiide'' with Braves and only one was out. Two Bostons scored on long fly to center by Clint Con- atser and Phill Masi's ringing dou ble off the left field wall. Both Conatser and Masi were pinch hitters. But that was all as the great southpaw bore down to get Mike McCormick on an infield roller. Cleveland scored its first three runs off Bill Voiselle. one of them a home run over the left field wall by Joe Gordon in the sixth. Spahn, doing his second relief chore in as many days, gave up the last Indian marker in the eighth, before he got his bearings. (Stories also on pages 8, 10.)

October 12, EwOairslhiaDl Mediation Try On Berlin Issue Breaks Down By Francis W. Carpenter PARIS, Oct. 11 -(JP- Desperate attempts by "neutral" nations in the United Nations security council to mediate the Berlin crisis ap parently were stalled tonight. Spokesmen for the United States, Britain and France declared that the western powers are standing firm on their demand that the so viet blockade be lifted. The three powers were reported to feel that there had been enough time for mediation and the council should go ahead with meetings. Argentine Foreign Minister Ju an A. Bramuglia talked privately again with Russia's Andrei Y. Vis hinsky. Informed sources said the soviet deputy foreign minister told him that no answer had been re ceived from the Kremlin on medi ation efforts. Western power spokesmen said in the absence of new soviet pro posals they assumed Moscow still insists that the Berlin case must go to the four-power council of foreign ministers packaged with the whole German problem. The spokesmen repeated that "the blockade must be lifted before we go to the council of foreign min isters." One high diplomatic source said the attitude of the United States has toughened in the past two days After meeting with Vishinsky, Bramuglia was reported to have ameu wiui jonn roster Dulles, U. S. delegate and foreign advisers to lov. uewey. In the face of the apparent dead lock, the securitv council U n pected to meet Wednesday or inursday to go over the Berlin suuauon and perhaps open full scale debate.

Vin son on a peace mission to Moscow. But as he went aboard the presi dent's own plane, the Independ ence, to begin his trip, he was by no means certain whether the "harmful influences' which (be said disclosure of the Vinson affair had on the meeting at Paris had been eliminated. ,! He told newsmen that there was no doubt that "confusion" had arisen in Paris over the fact that the news of the incident broke pit Fridajr night whereas, Marshall said, Mr. Truman had abandoned the project on last Tuesday after noon. This confusion, he said, had exercised "harmful influence' on the Paris meeting. jf He asked whether the various week-end declarations of a con tinued bipartisan foreign policy had eliminated the harmful. In fluence. He replied "I can an swer that better after I get back to Paris. !; Diplomatic officials had ex pressed the view that, if the Unitied States had single-handedly taken such a step as send Vinson to Moscow, it would have injured American relations with the coun tries with which the United States is cooperation in presenting the Berlin problem to the United Na tions. U Marshall himself was taking back to the American delegation at the crucial U. N. meeting the latest ideas which Mr. Truman -and he had worked out for dealing with major issues now up there. When the secretary was asked whether he had some new answers to outstanding questions he re plied: "None that I can tell you about now." H Despite his previously expressed hope that President Truman's statement of Saturday night on the Vinson affair would clear It up for foreign governments as well as at home, he appeared to be still concerned over the possibility that it might not be understood.
