GOLD RATE HIGH
IN PHILIPPINES
MANILA, OP)—Brokers report
ed today that gold produced in
the Philippines is selling at the
unprecedented peak of $51.25 an
ounce in domestic markets.
This is $16.25 above the U. S.
pegged price of $35 an ounce,
which is the established interna
tional rate.
There is no limit on the price
paid within this country.
Brokers attributed the buying
principally to Chinese and Indi
ans living here. A great amount
of the gold will eventually find
its way into China and India, it
was believed, although the Phil
ippines prohibit such shipments.

JERUSALEM
Israel asserted the Arabs shell

Jerusalem and fired on Mt. Zion
and Ramat Rehel.
OTTAWA
Louis Stephen St. Laurent, Ca
nadian foriegn minister, seemed
likely to succeed retiring prime
minister W. L. Mackenzie King.
The liberal party is picking a new
leader, preliminary to the govern
ment change.
Envoys of the United States,
Britain and France called today
on foreign minister Molotov.
U. S. Ambassador Waller Be
dell Smith entered the Kremlin
at Moscow first. Frank Roberts,
special British envoy, and French
ambassador Yves Chataigneau
followed him immediately. The
same three conferred Monday
night with prime minister Stalin,
seeking a basis for ending the
Berlin blockade and resolving
other east-west differences.
Stalin was not believed present
at this meeting, which the western
diplomats had sought with the
foreign minister.
(Diplomats in London said they
expect a big four communique to
be issued this week-end, announc
ing plans for a new meeting of the
foreign minister’s council. The
council is the four-power agency
whose last two meetings broke
up in disagreement.*
Such a conference might mean
and end to the Berlin blockade in
which Russia since late June has
been trying to force the western
powers from the four-power city.
Secretary of state Marshall, for
eign secretary Bevin of Britain
and other western spokesmen
have said there will be no talks
while the blockade exists.
BERLIN
The Russians for the first time
eased the blockade a trifle yester
day in allowing the anti-Com
munist city government and firms
in the western sectors to draw
out money blockaded in Russian
zone banks.
LONDON
A British foreign office spokes
man said the western powers in
tend to proceed with plans for a
government in western Germany.
Speculation increased in London
that the Russians demanded that
these plans be delayed as a price
for lifting their land blockade of
Berlin.
FRANKFURT
American and British authori
ties said they plan to sell about
50 I. G. Farben Industrie plants
to independent firms as competi
tors. It was their hope to break
the chemical trust for all time. It
had 400 or more plants around
the world before the war.

Count Folke Bernadotte, U. N.

security council to affirm the

Arabs to return to their homes.
The Jews object.
HIROSHIMA
The first atom bomb dropped in
anger fell three years ago today.
The target was the Japanese city
of Hiroshima. As far as is known,
onjy the United States has the
bomb now. Atomic weapons are
many times more powerful now
than then. Here’s what Mayor
Shinzo Hamai of Hiroshima has
to say of the first attack:
“The whole city was razed to
the ground. There was nothing
left but ruin and disaster. No one
can give a full account of the aw
ful sufferings and grievous miser
ies this single bomb brought to
the living as well as the dying.
I More than 100,000 innocent peo
ple lost their lives on that occa
sion. The fear and trembling we
experienced are indeed quite be
yond description.”
