at the plant overnight to check
the blaze.
O. E. Erickssen, assistant mana

Dirk Verhagen, chief chemist, said
several explosive materials were
in the plant.

The British foreign office said

CAIRO
Count Folke Bernadotte, U.N.
mediator, said he would announce
replies tomorrow to his request
for extending the truce. Both the

In Washington, the U.S. con

MOSCOW
The Moscow newspaper Pravda

BERLIN
The Russians were reported to
j have issued a vague warning about
the safety of U.S. planes flying
food, and today coal, to Berlin.
Their news agency in Berlin said
Americans are violating air traf
fic control rules. Allied observers
expressed doubt the Russians
would interfere in the air cor
ridor with fighter planes or bar
rage balloons.
Some 25 big C-54’s were to
carry in the first coal, seven tons
each in sacks. Coal shortages had
reduced industry in Western Ber

stopped rail, road and barge ac

however, needs 2,000 tons of coal

WASHINGTON
Diplomats said any doubt rem
aining in the Kremlin about the
intentions of the Western Pow

the notes of the U.S., Britain and
France sent to Moscow yesterday.
Though secret, the notes were un
derstood to demand an end to the
blockade and to have emphasized
the right which the three West

occupation of Berlin.
