: Russia Reverses Attitude
I To Permit Berlin Traffic
Berlin, June 80 VP) The Russians reversed their attitude to
ward western truck traffic late today and permitted free travel
between Berlin and the western zones.
The sudden about-face was just as unaccountable as the Rus
sian highway sentries' conduct over the past two days.
Earlier in the day 80 neavuy-w
laden trucks, mostly food car
riers from Frankfurt, were stop
ped, their papers challenged and
their cargoes seized. They were
being released later, a few at a
time.
Allied sources said the vexing
Incidents were caused by an ar
gument between two Soviet
checkpoints. This apparently
was ironed out, at least tempo
rarily, by higher Russian offi
cials. The Russians claimed that the
truckers required a Soviet sig
nature underneath the Soviet
stamp which was put on their
travel orders when they crossed
Into the Soviet zone at Helm
stedt. The British military govern
ment sent a transport official
to the Berlin boundary check
point to investigate the new
snarl in the city's commerce to
day. The British announced the
Russians had seized eleven
trucks at the checkpoint late
yesterday, escorted them to t
military headquarters in the Ber
lin suburb, Pankow, and un
loaded the cargoes, mostly per
ishable fruits, vegetables and
fish.
The Russians then released
the drivers and their empty ve
hicles, giving them receipts for
the detained loads.
Solomon Gel
Nod (or Judge
Portland, June 30 W) Gus J.
Solomon, 42, Portland attorney,
J is the official nominee of Ore
t gon democrats for the proposed
'third federal judgeship in Ore-
gon.
He won the indorsement yes
Jterday of Monroe Sweetland,
democratic national committee
Jman, and Nancy Honeyman Rob
t lnson, national committeewom
an. i Under recently established
state party rules, the choice is
J up to these two. They sent their
t indorsements to President Tru
Jman and Sen. J. Howard Mc-
Grath, chairman ot the demo
Jcratic national committee.
r Solomon was a Truman sup-
porter last year. He has been
t an active democrat.
Sweetland said Hall S. Lusk,
, chief justice of the state supreme
court, and Circuit Judge Earl C.
jLatourette, Oregon City, were
t considered, but then eliminated
because of "an unwritten policy
which prefers the appointment
J of men under 60 years of age."
t Sweetland added that Henry
L. Hess, La Grande, U. S. attor
J ney for Oregon, also was elimi-
nated because he is from east-
J em Oregon, the same district
that produced Oregon's present
two federal judges. Western
, Oregon now needs representa
tion, Sweetland said.
I He added that W. L. Josslln.
state democratic chairman, made
J known his candidacy too late
a for consideration.
The third federal judgeship Is
, being considered in a bill now
a before congress.
J Although Colorado began its
settlement with the gold rush,
J it has been predominantly an
a agricultural state for many years.

Ends A Probe
Washington, June 30 UP) Sen
ator Hickenlooper (R., Iowa)
said today he is about ready to
wind up public presentation of
his case of "incredible misman
agement" against the atomic
energy commission.
At the same time he shot fresh
criticism at the commission for
"not telling the whole story" in
its latest report on emergency
personnel clearances.
In another development, f
commission spokesman announc
ed that the first unit of a new
$25,000,000 plutonlum refining
and fabricating facility went In
to production at Richland, Wash,
last Monday.
ine mree-pnase plant, on
which construction started early
last year, will not be ready for
full operation until next March,
a spokesman said. It is located
at the Hanford atomic installa
tion. Harry A. Winne, General Elec
tric company vice president, told
the senate-house atomic commit
tee that the plant has a use "far
beyond a weapons project. It is
so laid out that it can be used
to "form special parts" which
might be needed in the produc
tion of power piles and so forth,
he said.
Hickenloopers new attack was
directed at an AEC report to the
senate-house atomic committee
yesterday that 37 out of 4,095
persons granted emergency
loyalty clearances have been fir
ed because of "derogatory" in
formation turned up by an FBI
investigation.

Defense Rests
In Alger Case
New York, June 30 UP) The
defense rested its case in the
Alger Hiss perjury trial at 11:15
a.m. (PDT) today.
Defense Counsel Lloyd Paul
Stryker announced that the de
fense had completed its case
when the afternoon session con
vened. Just before the luncheon re
cess Federal Judge H. Kaufman
excluded a psychiatrist's testi
mony on the mental condition
of Whitaker Chambers Hiss'
accuser.
The psychiatrist was Dr. Carl
Binger, a faculty member of
Cornell university medical col
lege, who observed Chambers
during his seven days of testi
mony at the trial.
Dr. Binger's testimony was
excluded after Defense Counsel
Lloyd Paul Stryker posed a
long hypothetical question which
actually was a narration of tri
al testimony about the back
ground of Chambers, courier
for a prewar Soviet spy ring.
As soon as Stryker asked the
question about Chambers' men
tal condition, Assistant U.S. At
torney Thomas F. Murphy, the
prosecutor, leaped to his feet,
objecting.
Murphy declared that the
question, which lasted 45 min
utes, constituted "a grave in
justice to the government."

costia pool in southeast Wasn
Ington. At least four youths were
injured, one a girl trampled by

Beran to Keep
Within Palace
Prague, June 30 (U.R) Arch
bishop Josef Beran was believed
today to have decided against
making further public appear
ances. fS
Sources close to Msgr. Beran
said he had been unnerved by
the communist booing that
drove him from the pulpit of
St. Vitus cathedral June 19.
He was understood to feel
that further public appearances
while tension between church
and state remains high might
lead to demonstrations that
would bring government venge
ance on Catholic faithful.
This was believed behind his
failure to make a scheduled ap
pearance yesterday at a semina
ry graduation ceremony.
Informants said the Msgr. Be
ran spends most of his time
walking in the garden of his
police-guarded palace. They said
he is in good health.
A Catholic source said the
church-state struggled already
has erupted into violence in
central Czechoslovakia. Parish
ioners in four Slovak villages
in the Zilina region on Sunday
routed with their fists police
who tried to arrest their four
parish priests, the source said.
Communist militiamen armed
with tommyguns moved into the
four towns Sunday night, de
clared martial law and enforced
a strict curfew. No further ri
oting .occurred, however, and
the martial law and curfew were
lifted yesterday.

Drought Breaks
Eastern Records
(Br Uniten rreaat
The east coast drought broke
all previous records at New York
today but the Pacific northwest
complained that cold weather
and freak storms severely dam
aged orchard and field crops.
In the midwest, a railroad ag
ricultural expert reported that
recent rains had enhanced
chances for a corn crop equal
ling last year s record yield.
Fair weather came as a dis
appointment to farmers in New
York state and New England
hoping for general rains to end
the dry spell burning up fields
and lawns.
At New York, which had gone
for a record 35 days without a
general rain, weather experts re
ported the city had only .16
inches this month compared with
the previous low of .86 inch for
June, 1894.
Showers in the Hood River,
Ore., area severely damaged the
region s big cherry crop and
some orchardists said their crop
was a total loss.
The wheat harvest near Spo
kane, Wash., was slowed by the
rain.
Low temperatures at Klamath
Falls, Ore., damaged potatoes,
grain and-clover in fields there.
Seven inches of snow fell in
Mt. Hood and in the Blue moun
tains of eastern Oregon.

Chinese Reds
For Capitalists
Nanking, June 30 UP) Com
munist leader Mao Tze - Tung
broadcast from Peiping today a
message to Chinese workers tell
ing them they must cooperate
with capitalists so that maxi
mum production can be attain
ed.
Mao urged communist party
members to continue their close
cooperation with labor. He said
failure of Sun Yat-Sen's poli
cies and those of the Kuomin
tang was due to their neglect of
the proletariat.
The Red leader declared in a
statement commemorating the
28th anniversary of the Chinese
communist party that success of
the party resulted solely from
its close alliance with the peas
ants and laboring masses.
But he warned that the party's
present labor policy called not
for unrestricted license but rath
er for control and cooperation
with capital.
