Lowest previous year was in iJB. . Raver last week cut off 388.000 kilowatts of lnterruptible power t - . deliveries, principally to alumi num operations. With all steam plants operating, power supplies for general indus try and domestic consumers can be continued for a month or six weeks with only "moderate draw downs' from reservoirs, . Raver said. But he added that further cutbacks -may be required unless there is substantial-relief in the form of rain. When is it safe to pass another car? . - .

S. miliUry police patrol drove along the auto bahn from West Berlin to an American sector checkpoint with out, any interference from the So viets at midnight Wednesday. The Russians, who earlier in the day had reimposed a ban on American movements,1 were ap parently playing their, off-again, on-again ' game. They' had lifted the ban temporarily also the pre vious midnight. . i A British patrol had moved along the much-disputed autobahn earlier. Neither the American nor the British spotted any Soviet sen tries. ! , ' However, three British enlisted men who had left Berlin by auto mobile for West Germany had not reached- the Soviet-British zonal checkpoint ei-Helmstedt late Wednesday night. , The British commandant in Berlin disclosed he had written to the Russian author ities regarding the whereabouts of the soldiers. ' , ' U. S. High Commissioner Wal ter J. Donnelly, who talked over the case Tuesday with Soviet Gen. Vassily Chuikov, had told report ers earlier Wednesday the West ern approach to the problem would be worked out by the Allied commanders. The military police, who report for eight-hour duty shifts' at the control point, have been instruct ed to avoid a showdown with the Soviet tommy-gunners who set up a special post in the disputed area Tuesday morning. The patrol jeeps used a detour which kept them entirely in the American - sector. The normal route crosses less than a mile of the Russian -zone on the four-lane concrete superhighway -which leads to West Germany. r Aclieson Asks On Korea Plan WASHINGTON W Secretary of State Acheson said Wednesday the United States wants a "meet ing of the minds" with friendly na tlons on how to deal with the Ko rean issue at the United Nations General Assembly opening next month. i ... But he brushed aside a misun derstanding reports this govern ment hoped, in ffect, to shift the efforts for a settlement with the Communists from Panmunjom to the U. N. - - Acneson ' was told at his news conference that the idea of such a transfer rose from recent re marks of Ernest Gross, the U. S. delegate. American officials long have taken the stand that mili tary commanders 'on the spot should work out the military ar mistice which has been sought in vain lor more than a year. Terming tne reports of a pos sible shift in tactics a misunder standing of what Gross : had said. Acheson noted that the Korean issue win be brought' up .automa tically at the General Assembly by reports of UN commissions. 3 Nations Fail To Pay U.N. Bills UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. China, Argentina and Iran were listed by the U. N. Wednesday as the countries farthest behind , in their U. N. payments. .

Iran still owes $184,711 on its 1951 bill. The absence of the double line. one yellow and one white, to indi cafe you are in a no-passing zone. does not relieve you of the re sponsibility for determining whether you have enough clear ance to attempt passing another car. " .
