Monday, August 30, 1948
The Russians applied more
pressure today to the anti-com
munist government of divided,
blockaded Berlin.
This time the Soviet command
ant ordered that Jll residents of
the Russian sector pay taxes only
in the Russian zone and that these
taxes be used only for benefit of
the Russian sector. This foresha- j
dowed yet another split, in the
city government finaace depart
ment, between the Russian and
western areas.
Russian tactics already have
split the police, food, fuel and la
bor departments. Communis t s
who howled against “capitalists
and splitters” twice invaded the
city hall in the Russian zone last
week trying to force its city coun
cil to retreat to the western area
and leave the seat of city govern
ment in Communist hands.
(MOCOW)—A break appeared
near in the Kremlin talks over the
blockade Russia imposed on Ber
lin 68 days ago. Diplomats of the \
U. S., Britain and France awaited
a call to another conference with
foreign minister Molotov.
An announcement is expected
soon, saying perhaps the four
powers have agreed on procedure.
Communists in Malaya, Burma
and Greece were making war on
the constituted governments.
(PARIS)—France looked for a
new government, the 11th or so
since the war ended three years
ago. The involved French politi
cal situation did nothing to bul
wark the west against Russian
pressure in Berlin and Germany.
Premier Andre Marie resigned
when Socialists rejected his wage
and price program. Robert Schu
man, Premier until 32 days ago,
looked over the field to decide if
he could command a majority.

(PRAGUE) — In communist
Czechoslovakia, the Catholic

national guard battalion would be
made up of four companies in va
rious cities of Alaska.
The Times said that while an
official announcement is expected
later, it has learned that Lt. Col.
Joseph D. Alexander of Washing
ton has been visiting Alaska in
connection with the program. It
added that he is to meet with
Governor Gruening at Juneau.
The account said that supervi
sion and equipment of the units
will be furnished by the army be
cause the Territory lacks funds
for the project.
The Times said native units are
considered desirable in army cir
cles because of the success of the
Alaska Territorial Guard during
the last war in supplying valuable
information.
It quoted Col. Alexander as
saying that the Guard program is
still in the formative stages and
will take several months to set up.
