' " CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER T HE BEND 52nd Year - One Section Reds Moving To Cut Off West Berlin BERLIN (UP) The East Ger man Communists said today Wesi German barges will lose their per mils to supply West Berlin Dec, 31. The Reds also set the stage i )r new interference wi;h highway tratfic to the city. ine oinciui communist party newspaper Neues Oeutschland said the permits used by the barge bringing in one fourth of the city's supplies -will lose their validity Dec. 31 and that the Bonn govern mcnt will have to negotiate with the Communist government. At the same time the East Gor man government instructed its Fi nance Ministry to determine i' foreign vehicles must have Soviet 2one insurance to travel on Eas German hiehways to (he isolated Western outpost here. The "vehi cles" include the vital truck traf fic. Western authorities said the Communists jniirht be planning either to ban Western vehicle completely or to impose a heavy new f'nancial burden on trucker? by making them buy Eastern in surance. The trucks already pay exorbitant highway tolls. The East German order affect ing the highways was published in the East German Legal Bulle tin. It said the Finance Ministry "can" extend the application of Eat German vehicle insurance li ability laws to "vehicles based out-1 side" East Germany but it did! not indicate that it would when the law goes into effect Jan. 1. The order did not make, clear whether It would a only to Western Allied military traffic as well as th German-owned supply trucks. The constant reference to barrio rrainc in the Communist press ha: aroused fears in West German that th? Communists may behi another blockade of the city which lies HO miles Inside the Soviet zone. The Neues Deutschland. the off: clal Communist Party organ in Berlin, said In an editorial todav the West German government must negotiate with the East Genvm traffic ministry before new permits can be issued. It was plainly a renewed Com munist bid to win rewnitinn o' the Eastern regime. Bonn has re fused to negotiate with East Ger many on grounds the "Genu ah Democratic Republic" is a puppet state and does not represent the wilt of the Germans. Neues Deutschland said the So viet zone had the right to control barge traffic to Berlin because I he canals leading to the former Ger man capital "run through the sov ereign part of Germany, the Ger man Democratic Republic." West Berliners feared this might herald the beginning of a blockade' since, by the same reasoning, the Communists could take a sim'lar stand on the highways, railways and the airlines serving Berlin. Soviet Russia was backing the East German stand that they now control the rivers leading to Berlin. A treaty signed in Moscow Sept. 20 transferred control of Berlin bound German truffic to the Cim munists. Allied traffic remains un der Soviet control. American authorities reported nn incidents Sunday when a groun ot "90 Americans led by "Mrs. Amer ica" visited East Berlin on a U S. Army tour which underlined tlv American claims of right of fr?o movement. "Mrs. America," Mrs. Ramona Deitmeyer of Lincoln, Neb., wa. escorted by Lt. James T. McQueen of Mull ins. S.C. McQueen was do tained a week ago with two con gressmen and the wife of one ir an incident that touched off a dis pute on the rights of the West ii Berlin.

Eden to Arrive L Unchmntnn 111 r r ujiiuiiiii On January 30 GETTYSBURG, Pa., (UP) The White .House announced today that British Prime Minister An thony Eden will arrive in Washing ton Jan. 30 for folks with Presi dent Elsenhower. Diplomatic sources in Washing ton predicted that the talks will deal mainly with Western strategy for coping with the new cold war situation resulting from the failure if the Geneva Big Four f oreign Ministers Conference. The Big Two talks, expected to last for sevefal days, will mark1 Mr. Elsenhower's return to active top-level International diplomacy for the first time since his Sept. 24 heart attack. It will be Eden's first trip to Washington since he suc ceeded Sir Winston Churchill as Prime Minister. His last meeting with Mr. Elsenhower was at the Big Four Summit Conference at Geneva In July. New Russian Moves Most urgent reason for the forth coming talks, In the view of Wash ington diplomatic circles, is the! sharp change that has come over ast-West relitions since the July summit meeting. The "Geneva spirit" of friendliness has all but vanished under the impact of new Communist moves, such as pro viding arms to Egyot, assorting a claim to solo control In four-power Bcr'in, and actively wooing Asian nations such as India with lavish nromlses of economic aid. In London, the House of Com mons cheered when Kden an nounced his forthcoming trip. Mr. Eisenhower also conferred today with his special assistant on international affairs, Nelson Rocke feller. Sneaks To Convention The President was to handle some offico routine and later today address by telephone the merger "onvenlion of the AFL and CIO in New York.

(JUSl BETWEEN OS rf' HIS FUU- TITLE WA"a SHERWOOD 4jf OOLIMIAPC SHRCWTJ, BUT Hfi No. 308 Message Sent To Convention By Telephone NEW YORK (UP) President Eisenhower told the newly merged AFL-CIO today It has a "great opportunity" to bolster the demo cratic process. But he warned the unified labor group It must protect "scrupulous ly" the rights of its minorities holding differing political, econom ic and other views. Mr. Eisenhower addressed the merger convention by telephone from his tiny temporary Whito House office In Gettysburg!!, Pa. Praising labor's contribution to the general welfare and to the fight for a free world, he told the new 16 million-man union group lt can help build better citizenship at home and "help liberate hun dreds ot millions from misery and slaverly" aboard. You arc more than union mem bers bound together by a common goal of better wages, better work ing conditions, and protection ot your security through collective bargaining. "You ore American citizens , . i ju m yum- now n.uuiiu j, &am- zatlon, as well as In your many I constituent organizations, you have a great opportunity ol making your nieotingi the world's most effective exhibit of democratic processes, "fn those meetings the rights of minorities holding different social. economic and political views must be scrupulously protected and their views accurately reflected. fn this way as American citi zens you will help the republic cor rect the faulty, fortify the good, build stoutly for the future, and reinforce the most ehorished free doms of each individual citizen." Mr. Elsenhower thus touched on the announced fears of some Re publicans that a unified labor movement might become, or at tempt to become, a controlling factor In national politics. Mr. Elsenhower made lt plain he does not believe the union mem- ?rs think or vote as a bloc. The President's message was de livered after the historic merger onventlon was officially opened before a crowd of cheering dele gates and some 2000 spee'ators In the 71st Reglmentnl Armory. Presidents Georgo Meany of the FL and Walter Rruther of the CIO simultaneously wielded a huge walnut gavel to open the formall t"s of merging members of the -wo organizations into the largest trganlzed labor group In the free . world. After their Joint ef'ort. Menny handed tho gavel to Reirther who took over In the role of temporary -hnirmnn. The convention heard Mr. Elsen Hower after delegates elected Meany presldont of the newly merged organization. The election of Mcnny was agreed upon In advance In the irocess ol merging the two Inbor groups. Promoter Bows To TV Interest PORTLAND (UP) If you can't fight 'cm, Join 'em.
