PAGE EIGHT THE BEND BULllflN. BEND, OREGON THDRSDAY, MAY 12, 1949 1 First Reporter To Reach Berlin Describes Trip Walter 0. Run. lis, United Prnw mnn nxer for (iermmiy, won tli fiwt perjuin La reach Berlin from the Hrilifch lone after Ute blockade was lifted. Hi ilin. patch follows. By Walter G. Rundle - (United Prew Staff CorreHpondent) Berlin, May 12 u I drove the 110 miles from Helmstedt to Ber lin today without seeing a single Russian soldier between the two cities. Driving the automobile over the broad straight Autobahn super highway at a blistering 95 miles an hour, I was mobbed on arrival In Berlin as the first real proof that the blockade no longer ex isted. : Helnrleh Ling, a German radio technician, accompanied me. When we arrived, It was a,s if we had liberated the city. Jubi lant Germans tossed lilacs at us. One. offered a bottle of schnapps. . Examination Cursory In Helmstedt, where the race started, a smiling Russian colonel ; and a major, waved us on after only a cursory examination of our travel orders and other papers we carried. We didn't see another Russian until we reached the soviet check point on the edge of Berlin. Along the road we were hailed again and again by small groups of Germans standing silhouetted In the early morning moonlight. One group threw field flowers In front of our car. Once, a few miles after we crossed the Elbe river, we saw a soviet zone German policeman. A high 'white arrow pointing to a detour took us off on a wrong turn. The policeman signalled us Dack on the rlgnt road. The Germans we passed shout ed "Gute fahrt" good driving and waved us on. We started the trip to the cheers of hundreds of Germans lined up waiting for permission to cross, the soviet zone frontier on foot. Only at Magdeburg, as we crossed the Elbe, did we see lights in the soviet zone. Only a few of them blinked, Indicating there were no night ships working in that once bustling industrial cen ter. At the Russian checkpoint at the edge of Berlin a Russian col onel asked in stilted English: "From Helmstedt?" Then he said: "You are the first. You may proceed." Seconds later, the Berlin mob closed in on us in the knowledge that we had proved the blockade officially had ended. , Americans Armed After Flag Torn Tripoli, May 2. U'i Ameri can servicemen from nearby Wheelus Airfield were issued sidearms today following an anti-American demonstration in front of the, U. S. consulate. Demonstrators tore up an Am erican flag in front of the con solate yesterday and set fire to a number of Italian establish ments. No casualties were report- eu. "Long live Russia down With America and the United Na Hons," the demonstrators shout 0(1. While American personnel watched from the consulate win dows, the demonstrators then cheered as the American Has was ripped to shreds. They apparently were members of an Independence Faction which wants neither U.N. trus teeship nor a return to Italy for whs iormer Italian colony. Dual Parachute. Jump Planned San Francisco. Mav 12 HPi A dual parachute lump off the Em pire State building with his girl friend was among the future stunts planned today by Robert iNiies, iJ-year-oid ex-paratrooper. But first Niles had to annear in municipal court this moraine on charges that he committed a oub- nc nuisance wnen he Jumped off tno ban f rancisco bav br dec this weeK. - Highway patrolmen, anerv at Niles for causing a l.OOOcar traf fic jam on the bridge during his leap Monday, swore out a war rant charging him as a public nuisance and for walking on the Drmge.
