Soviet Railway
Force Expelled
Berlin, May 24 GPiThe west
ern powers today ordered west
German police to expel Soviet
railway police from strike-bound
elevated railway stations in the
three western sectors of Berlin.
Brig. Gen. Frank L. Howley,
American commandant in Berlin,
announced that he Is ordering
west German police to seize con
trol of all elevated stations in
the American sector of the city.
British and French authorities
made similar announcements. The
three , western . military govern
ments acted after clashes be
tween the Soviet railway police
and communist strike-breakers on
one hand and striking non-communist
railway workers on the
other had taken a toll of three
dead and 1,500 injured. .
won't stand by while Soviet
railway police shoot into crowds
in the American sector and forc
ibly take prisoners to the east
sector who will be tried there and
perhaps sentenced to death,"
Howley told the United Press.
Swing Into Action
Even as Howley spoke, west
ern sector police were swinging
into action. Shortly after 4 p. m.
(10 a. m. EDA) a British officer
ordered east sector police out of
the Grunewald station. Forty
Soviet-controlled railway police
left without a fight and 200 Brit
ish sector police moved in.
The Grunewald station was the
eighth that British-controlled po
lice had taken over since mid
night. During the early morning,
however, the British were act
ing at' individual stations as
trouble threatened.
The strikers are demanding
that the Soviet-controlled railway
administration pay them in west
ern marks, which are worth four
times as much as the eastern
marks.

Marble-Pavement
In Use In Proctor
New York UP The town that
claims the most elegant sidewalks
and house foundations in the na
tion is Proctor, Vt., marble capital
of the United States.
Because this small town in the
center of the state Is the source
of 70 per cent of the marble usel
in American buildings today,
Proctor's citizens have no trouble
finding discarded blocks and slabs
of It to pave their sidewalks and
line their cold cellars.
House foundations are laid
more easily and cheaply with
marble, and even the butcher uses
a marble chopping block, relates
an article in the current issue of
Steelways magazine.
Vermonters have been cutting
marble around Proctor since pre
Revolutionary days.
Elk Lake Road
Passable Soon
Anglers will find it possible to
drive within a mile to Elk Lake,
to the Lava lake turnoff over
the South Century drive, this
coming week end, Myron H.-Sym-ons,
proprietor of the lake resort,
reported today. He made a trip
into the lake this past week end,
returning yesterday. Symons was
accompanied by John Edwards.
Also at the lake, on a fishing
trip, were Mike Mahoney and
Kenneth Gales, both of Bend.
Between the Mud lake turn-
off and the south end of Elk
lake, drifts still block the road In
places. However, anglers hiking
the mile will be walking most
of the way on snow-free ground,
Symons said. He plans to have
his fleet of boats at the south
end of the lake over the Memor
ial day week end.
All Ice has disappeared from
Elk Lake, Symons reports. He
plans to make another trip into
the lake this week, in an attempt
to get his resort water system
and other facilities in working
order, but may not have the re
sort ready for use for the Me
morial holidays.
The north approach to the lake,
over the Century drive, is still
under deep snow In the high
country and a late opening of
this route is expected.

Ford Strikers
Detroit, May 24 ip The CIO
united auto workers awaited a re
ply from the Ford Motor company
today to the union's surprise offer
to arbitrate the speed-up issue
which touched off the 20-day-old
Ford strike.
John S. Bugas, the company s
industrial relations chief, said he !
would make no comment on the
offer until he had time to study
it fully.
Hopes brightened that an early
settlement was likely for the dis
pute which has idled 10(5,000 Ford
workers across the nation. The
company previously had offered
to arbitrate the issue.
But UAW President Walter P.
Reuther, who announced the new
union position last night, said the
union arbtiration offer "dlfferec
fundamentaly" from Ford's pre
vious arbitration attempts.
in a letter to Bugas, Reuther
proposed the following Question
for arbitration:
"Does the company under the
contract have the right to require
an employe to work at a rate of
speed In excess of 100 per cent of
established standards of produc
tion and to require a worker to
make up production losses result
ing from factors over which the
workers have no control?"
Reuther declared that Ford's
previous offer to arbitrate called
for a ruling "on only the technical
point of whether the established
production standard (100 per
cent) was correct."
The UAW move came just 24
hours after comnanv-iinlnn nppn.
tiations had recessed Indefinitely.,
Vlat had said both sides were In
need of a "cooling off period."

Forged Checks
Passed in Bend
O. H. WUson, who gave an
Idaho address, was arrested
before noon today In Sisters by
Sgr, L. L. Hirtzul of the state
police and returned to Bend to
face a forgery charge, officers
announced. Sgt. Ilirtzvl was ac
companied by II. A. Casiday,
Bend police chief. Wilson, who
hired a taxi to make the trip
to Sisters, is accused of forging
the name of Ernie Traxlcr,
Bend, to several checks.
Officers today were seeking a
man who passed a number of
forged checks around Bend yes
terday evening. Forged to the
checks was the name of a local
resident, Ernie Traxler. However,
the suspect mispelled the Bend
man's name, using "Troxler".
The signatures were not teven
a good imitation of mine," Trax
ler declared today. "Furthermore,
I always use green ink", the
Bend man said. The checks were
forged in black Ink. Up until noon
today, three checks had turned
up. One was for $23 and the oth
er two were $20.
In a move to establish himself
In the community, the stranger
attempted to strike up an ac
quaintance with Traxler. He also
visited a local bank and said he
had been a prisoner of war and
had received packages from Trax
ler. ' The checks were made out to
cash and signed "Ernest Troxler".
In endorsing the checks, the sus
pect used the name Otto Wilson.
Officers said the suspect was 5
feet 9 inches and weighed about
150 pounds. He had sandy hair,
combed back, lie wore a two
piece grey suit and a grey hat.

Eskimo Students
Here from Mexico
Laredo, Tex. U Customs offi
cials here are used to strange
transients but they rubbed their
eyes when four Alaskan Eskimos
crossed the border from Mexico.
The Eskimos, all ex-GI's, had
been sutdylng sllvercraft at Tax
co, and were en route home to
Mountain Village on the Yukon
river. They said Mexico was too
hot for them, but added the tables
would be turned this summer.
George Sipary, acting as
spokesman, .explained that four
Mexican youths will come to Alas
ka next fall to learn Ivory carv
ing, an Jt-sklmo specialty.
that radio isotopes the materials
cleared for export to Finland
cannot be used for weapons.
But Strauss told the sub com
mittee that he dissented with
other commission members. On
the basis of scientific advice he
had received and on "my own
judgment," he concluded that if
there werea calculated risk and
the chances only slight," then
the isotopes should not be sent.
Strauss said his objection also
applied to shipment of isotopes to
Sweden and Norway because of
those countries' proximity to Rus
sia, i
The . isotopes are radioactive
forms of various elements such
as carbon, phosphorus, gold, or
cobalt which are useful in bio
logical and other reseafch be
cause their courses through a
body or other system can be
traced by means of radiation
counters. No atomic explosives, or
fissionable materials, are in
