the CIO communications workers
of America, only four hours be
fore they were scheduled to set
up picket lines at telephone ex
changes in 43 States.
It was the picket line rather
than the strike itself that was ex
pected to hobble service. It was
believed that most of the 230,000
other union telephone workers
would refuse to cross picket lines
to their jobs.
But another segment of com

Police Prevent
Mav Day Trouble
In Perl in
(Continued from Page One)
communist demonstrators at Pots
damer Platz began surging toward
the Soviet sector. They shouted
“Black S. S.” and “communist
pigs” at the East German police
stationed at the Brandenburg
Gate. The West Germans began
hurling stones at the East Ger
man police, who made no effort
to retaliate.
West Berlin demonstrators also
seized two East sector civilians
and beat them severely.
Prime Minister Stalin reviewed
thousands of cheering Russians—
sholdiers and civilians—in a mam
moth May Day parade in Moscow.
Moscow, the capital of all-com
munist style May Day celebra
tions. was engulfed in a sea of red
bunting. A military parade
marched past Lenin’s tomb and
Stalin’s reviewing stand. Over
head roared Moscow’s most spec
tacular peacetime display of Sov
iet aerial power, led by Stalin’s
son, Lieut. Gen. Vassili Stalin.
May Day, established as Inter
national Labor Day by the Social
ist International at Paris in 1889,
since has been traditionally cele
brated throughout Europe.
But in the United States, where
Labor Day is designated as the
first Monday in September, May 1
this year was observed generally
as an anti-communist counter
demonstration.
Yugoslavia’s independent com
munist celebration—minus the
pictures of Stalin featured in the
Soviet satellites—was touched off
by a triumphant declaration that
Premier Marshal Tito’s regime
had broken the Russian-led Com
inform’s blockade of nearly two
years.
Nationalist generalissimo Chi
ang Kai-Shekt in a May Day ad
dress blasted Red China’s leaders
and urged workers now living un
der the new communist regime
to fight with sabotage and strikes.
He pictured his beleaguered Na
tionalist forces on Formosa as
fighting the Hussians as well as
the Chinese communists.

and anti-communists in Israel

Tel Aviv.
