BERLIN', rriday. May 1J
A major difference between the
western allies and Russians over
Berlin's exports appeared today
to ha-e been solved.
The Russian yesterday had re
fused to allowr trucks to leave
western Berlin for the western
occupation zones unless thev had
a permit either from the Rus
j sianr or the Russian-backed Ger
i man economic commission.
Bu earlv todav ft Berlin
j pohre quoted the officer in chnree
jo? the Rusian highway check
point outride Berlin as saying only
an orcer from the rvest Berlin!
government w as required for j
nassage of the trucks through the'
Russian rone.
Western Berlin is separated
J from the rest of western occu
i pied Germanv by 100 miles of
Soviet -con trolled territory
Whether the Russians actually .
j have dropped their demand for
! a Russian license w ill not be
; known before daylight todav when
trucks aeain try to get through
the Russian checkpoint.
If Soviet authorities enforce!
their claim to authority over
western Berlin's exports they
rould keep 2.000.000 residents cf
the American. British and French
sectors of the city on a basis of
"virtual charity." said Brig. Gen. i
Frank L How-lev, American com- ;
mandant here. He declared west-'
em "Berlin '"must export to the
west to live."
The Soviet blockade of western
Berlin and the western allies' ,
counter blockade of the Russian
zone of Germany were lifted on
schedule all along the 1.000-mil
German cold war front
American and British airlift
crews kept flying supplies into
Berlin at the rate of nearly 500
tons an hour and expected to
keep on doing so for another 30
days.

The hct sun beat down yester
day and Pacific northwest rivers
rose up. toward flood stage.
The mighty Columbia river was
swollen but most of the flood
threats were concentrated along
its upstream tributaries in eastern
! Washington and northern Idaho.
Bonners Ferry, Idaho, waged its
' almost annual battle to save the
j dikes. Two bridges were closed in
I Okanogan county in northeastern
' Washington.
i ne w enatcnee river lapped at
aixe tps at Cashmere, Wash.
The Twisp river spilled over its
oanKS in Tne Melnow valley or
Washington.
I Lake Couer d'Alene in northern
laano rose enougn to close a sec
tion of U. S. highway No. 95.
The army corps of engineers dis
patched 160 men and heavy equip
ment to Bonners Ferry to help
cope with the rapidly climbing
Kootenai river.
ThevKootenai was rising 3!2 feet
a dav as hot weather speeded the
runoff of the Canadian snow pack.
In Oregon, Catherine creek
started on a rampage near Union.
It washed out several dikes. Sand
ba'e crews worked to keepjhe wa
ter avay from three or four farm
house!. There was no immediate
danger to the town of Union which
suffered a 1500.000 flood a year
ago.
j The Columbia went over flood
i stage at Vancouver, Wash., but no
major damage was expected. El

i the Columbia probably would go
over tre J8 loot stage pretiiciea
earlier as the crest. It will rise at
least four days, he said, and pro
bably; w ill reach a stage of 20.9
feet Monday.
Theie was no prospect, though,
of any such flood as the one which
struck the Oregon-Washington
coast last year.

Natural Gas
Line May Pass
Through State
NEW YORK. May 12-0P)-Plans
for l 400-mile, 30-lnch natural
gas pipeline running from west
central Canada into Northern Cali
fornia were announced today. Ths
cost was estimated at $175,000,000.
Frank McMahon, president of
Pacific Petroleums, Ltd., Of Can
ada, said the projected pipeline
would originate in the northern
part of Alberta province. It would
run west and then south through
passes in the Canadian rocklet to
Vancouver, B.C.. and thence south
through Washington and Oregon
into northern California.
Since Canada would consume
only a small part of the indicated
potential delivery, he added, bring
ing the line over the U.S. border
would solve the marketing prob
lem. Marketing surveys have indicat
ed a demand in the Pacific north
west and northern California upon
completion of trie pipeline of about
500,000,000 cubic feet of natural
gas daily McMahon said.

Carl Hall, Salem artist, will
receive a $1,000 prize as one of
15 artists, composers and writers
warded annual non-member
grants by the National Institute
of Arts and Letters.
The institute sent word Thurs
day of the awards it gives to en
courage young artists of demon
strated ability and to recognize
more established artists in a prac
tical way.
Hall, who has located in Salem
since the war, is one of four
painters on the institute's award
fist. He is a Willamette university
art instructor.
A native of Washington. D C,
Hall studied at Meiimnger Art
school, Detroit. He was a combat
artist with the 383rd Infantry in
the Pacific. His paintingx of re
cent date have been displayed at
W'Kitney Museum of Ait and t
Julien Levy gallery, both in New
York. His painting work on Ore
gon scenery was subjei t of a Life
magazine color article ljt ear.
I hen, in reference to a tongies-
sional drive to trim fedeiul spend
ing, he said he believes in and has
been practicing i igid government
economy. As an example, the -president
said he had cut the national
debt about 26 billion dollars, which
he said was more than any other
chief executive had done.
In other developments on the
economic front. Senator Taft ( R
Ohio) told a national lumbermen's
meeting "the greatest failuie of
the 81st congress is in the finan
cial field." He said that if congress
"could cut $3,000,000,000 off ex
penditures we could avoid a tax
increase." But he added he is "not
particularly optimistic that it will."
Shortly after Taft spoke, the
house voted to add about S 1.500, -000
annually to government costs
as it approved a measuie giving
its members $3,000 extra foi tler
ical hire and a $500 allowance for
telephone and telegraph charges
on official business.
