In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Senator Humphrey of Min
nesota is much in the news
these days. So let's quote him
again.
Returning from a trip to
Moscow, in the course of
which he spent eight hours
talking to Khrushchev, sizing
him up, trying to determine
whether he means business or
is bluffing, the senator from
Minnesota, who is also a mem
ber of the important senate
foreign relations committee,
says he thinks the Berlin sit
uation is "fraught with dan
ger."
s-
Let's take another look at
this Berlin business.
Here is it is in a nutshell:
1. Russia has said that on
June 1 she will turn the East
ern sector of Berlin over to
the East German communists
who, presumably would pro
ceed to take over West Ber
lin, which is now occupied by
U.S. British and French
forces. The Kremlin added
that it might make the turn
over BEFORE June 1 unless
the West COMES TO TREMS.
2 Russia warns that if the
Allies (the Americans, the
British and the French) try to
force their way through Ger
man communist territory to
red-encircled West Berlin it
will be considered by the So
viet Union and the satellites
allied with her under the War
saw pact as an ACT OF WAR
3. U.S officials say the
Western powers are iirmly
agreed on the necessity to
REJECT IN BLUNT TERMS
Russia's demand that the
Western Big Three pull their
troops out of West Berlin
fjpHE BIG question:
Is the irresistible force
about to meet the immovable
body?
TJERE'S THE jrobable
answer:
If Russia is readv for war.
there will be war. If Russia
isn't ready, there won't be
war. Whenever Russia is
ready for World War III,
there will be war. Regardless
of what we do - snort, ot
course, of absolute surrender
on our part If an excuse is
needed, Russia will provide
the excuse.
W
HAT to do?
Well, we can RUN from
Berlin. But I don't think
Americans are willing to run
from West Berlin If we run,
our name will be mud
throughout the world. Nobody
will any longer have any
faith in us No AMERICAN is
ready to stand for that.
So-
There remains this:
We must STAY SO
STRONG that Russia won't
dare to tackle us.
That's about the size of it.

"Jeeves," he yawned, "the pool needs restocking. Order a couple of

Quick End of
New York Paper
Strike Unexpected
New York - UPD Federal
Mediation Chief Joseph F.
Finnegan said today "the pic
ture is not a bright one" for
quick settlement of the strike
of newspaper deliverers which
has halted publication of New
York City's nine major daily
newspapers.
Mayor Robert x . Wagner of
fered his help to the mediator
today but said he would stay
out of the negotiation picture
until he was called on - "I
don't want to rock the boat."
In Constant Touch
Finnegan said he would
keep in constant touch with
the mayor and "if the time
comes when the mayor can
help, I intend to : take him
up on his generous offer."
Finnegan, director of the
Federal Mediation and Con
ciliation Service, came here
from Washington Sunday to
join regional mediators in at
tempts . to settle the strike,
which began last Tuesday.
He breakfasted with Wag
ner before a meeting with
negotiators for the striking
Newspaper and Mail Deliver
ers Union. He was to meet
with the publishers later be
fore calling a joint meeting.
Speculation Refused
Finnegan told newsmen
after the breakfast meeting
that it would be "premature"
to speculate on when the
strike might be settled.
"Severe losses have been
sustained by the publishers
and they seemed to take a
pretty stiff attitude yester
day," he said.
Hospital Treats
'Borderline' Group
Denver (UPD A newly
organized hospital is treating
a "borderline group" . of men
tally ill patients in Denver
without locks wr restraints.
Colorado State Rep. John E.
Streltzer, president of the Na
tional Mental Health Center,
said its patients are persons
too sick to be at home but not
sick enough to be placed be
hind locked doors.
"In severity of illness these
patients are on the borderline
between those who are easily
able to function in spite of
their problems and those who
have lost the ability to deal
adequately w i th everyday
problems," Streltzer said.
He said it was frequently
found that these patients
would have little hope of get
ting well if they were to con
tinue living without medical
aid. The National Mental
Health Center, Streltzer said,
tries to help the patients
understand themselves better
so they can more satisfac
torily cope with their difficulties.
