A cable cutting left Muncie with most teletype and long distance service dead. It was the second time that city of 60,000 had been isolated by a severed cable, and it occurred just after a power failure had blacked out three fourths of the city. Several more persons were ar rested after incidents on tense picket lines. The strike by the CIO Communications Workers of America-was in Its 28th day. KINDERLIFX . BERLIN VP) Operation Kinder lift, got underway Monday, a unique German-American venture for re fugee children (Kinder). Twelve U.S. Air Force planes carried 300 boys and girls from Berlin to West Germany for a month's free vaca tion in German homes and German Youth camps. ? Gov. George N. Craig sent state police to Clinton yesterday after noon to escort workers into the telephone building. Service in the western Indiana city of 6,000 had been shut down for the second time during the strike. Clinton does not have dial service. The city was quiet as the state officers led workers and super visors into the building and re mained on guard. The building still had broken windows and light bulbs from a disorder, Saturday. E. R. Moore, head of ihe com pany's engineering department In Clinton, said he believed the dam age was caused by young hood lums, not by strikers. ... At Kokomo seven girl pickets were charged with assault and battery after i fight outside .the exchange in which , a noustriking operator said her clothing was torn. Company spokesmen said chains and barricades which had been used to bar nonstrikers from leav ing the Kokomo building had been removed.

By RICHARD O'KEG AN BUCHAREST I Communlza Uon of Romania has made the faces of 18 million Balkan people like . identical masks but. it has not yet destroyed their souls Outside of Russia, ' probably no Soviet satellite has gone so far In bringing down to one monotonous, miserable level the thoughts and actions of Its people . Bordering on Russia, Romania's rich oil supplies are vital for the Soviet Onion. Every sign points to more and more Sovletlsation for Romania and perhaps its eventual Incorporation Into the Soviet Union as a 17th republic. .

But beneath the fresh whitewash, the floodlights and the colored fountains are tne signs oi communism's "brave new world. Life has been communlzed to the smallest detail of existence, Individuality, which despite op pression always marked the na tional groups, of Germans, . Hun garians,. Greeks and Romanians, seems to have disappeared. Men wear the same shirts and shabby trousers and women Identi cal cotton prints from the ma chines of the Gheorghlu-deJ ready. made clothes factory. The necktie has been abolished (except for the new Communist aristocracy) and costume Jewelry is a rare, luxury item. To remain unshaved Is the mark of the "new man." "Tovaras" is the new greeting. Recreation has been mass-organ ized to the extent where even a PILOT'S BODY FOUND GREIFENSEE. Switzerland Wl The body of-a U.S. bomber pilot, tranced in the wreckage of a B17 Flying Fortress lor more man nine years, has been recovered irom tne bottom of Qreifensee Lake. Local Authorities and many Swiss news papers paid tribute to the pilot Tuesday for deliberately sacrificing nis me in April 1844 to save tne tiny lakeside village of Faellanden. DISMISSAL OKAYED LONDON W) The Supreme So viet (parliament) of the Azerbai Jan, Soviet Republic has formally approved tne dismissal of Mir DJafar Bagirov, who was premier of the republic, the Baku radio announced Tuesday. Balglrov'a dis missal as Republic premier- and member of the ruling Communist Party presidium of the O.8.S.R. is Involved with the purge of form' er Interior Minister Lavrenty P, Beria. . Communist workers said: "I have to get away tor-a few hours on my bicycle to escape the street radio." But he cant go far without police checks.

There was a certaSi unrullness about the crowds who found every day, police terror somewhat re laxed during the. presence of 30,000 foreign youths attending th i.mi. vals. Although there seemed a sea ui uuuurms to westerners, resi dents said there were less than uouai. .By the eager firmness of their handshakes, the look in their eyes or the way they they spat out Communist slogans, they showed their hate of communism and a lingering hope of liberation when they met non-Communist Western ers.

It is shocking what has happened In the middle class. Many of my friends are starving or are In prison. Communism Is slowly reducing us. all to the lowest level." "War would be horrible but noth ing like this system." muttered a clerk In a key Communist ministry. This is the latent unrest of the city masses. In the mountains, dip lomats say, there have been spo radic indications of organized bands. Peasant villages In the foot hills are frequently searched by police for. weapons. An apparent underground group blew up a tex tile store in Bucharest recently. All live in the hope that, with tne new trend of East-West rela tions, Romania may shake oft the Kussian yoke.
