Friday, September 24, 1948
Tension rose again over block
aded Berlin today as Americans
i charged Russian anti-aircraft gun
ners plan to fire “dangerously
i high" in practice in the British
• American air lift corridor.
The American military also pro
tested against announced Soviet
plans of conducting bombing and
fighter practice in the corridor—
the west’s only entry to the city.
The U. S. military government
! banned all Soviet-sponsored news
| papers from the American zone of
Germany. This was in reprisal for
the boycott of western-licensed pa
pers by the Russians in the Soviet
sector.
At the same time, U. S. authori
ties disclosed they had protested to
the Russians that a stunting Yak
fighter plane flew dangerously
close to an American transport in
the corridor between Berlin and
Frankfurt.
In Paris, Britain’s foreign secre
tary. Ernest Bevin, conferred with
U. S. secretary of state Marshall,

In the United Nations assembly,

gate, charged the great powers
had broken faith with the smaller
nations. He said South Africa

change.
Chinese foreign minister Wang
Shih-Chieh, another speaker at
the United Nations, demanded j
greater Asian representation in the
U. N. security, economic, and so
cial councils.
PARIS — Many United Nations
officials walked to work today be
cause of a transport strike in Paris.
Premier Henri Queuille’s govern
ment won a reprieve from early
elections—they were put off from
October to next March—by a vote
of the national assembly. But the
French premier had a general two
hour strike on his hands today,
with 7,008,000 workers of both
communist and non-communist la
bor organizations protesting the
government’s failure to keep wa
ges in line with the mounting cost
of living.
In Buenos Aires, the Argentine
government accused a United
States citizen of heading an unsuc
cessful plot to assassinate Presi
dent Juan D. Peron and his wife.
A communique identified the
American as John Griffith, former
cultural attache of the U. S. em
bassy, in the Argentine. Twelve
Argentinians, including three
priests, have been arrested, charg
ed with taking part in the plot, the
communique said.
Both British and American
fleets were out on maneuvers. The

Dear Sirs:
I was listening to the radio and
they were saying you were out of
meat and potatoes.
I have three head of beef—one
is a fat cow, and one a two-year
old heifer, and a 16-month old
steer. These cattle are all in first
class shape and will make fine
beef. We get 60c a pound butch
ered out here at Homer.
I don’t know the air freight
rates to Uome, but that shouldn’t
be too high.
1 also have 14 acre of spuds and
should have about 3 tons of spuds
and maybe more. The spuds are
7 cents a pound. If anyone there
can use these beef and spuds please
let me know. These prices are
f.o.b. Homer.
The beef will weigh about 1300
pounds altogether, cow 500, heifer
500. steer 350 to 400 opunds.
The spuds shouldn’t be dug for
about 2 weeks yet, as they ripen
better.
Sincerely,
George Kirkpatrick.
