ties said the Russians are planning
a secret trial for Curt Muecken
berger, whom they fired as man
ager of the central coal organiza
tion. The Americans said the Rus
sians had no right to fire, arrest
or try him and that his only of
fense was disobeying an order the
Russians had no right to give.
Unless some agreement comes
from Kremlin meetings on the
blockade, the issue likely will go
to the U. N. in Paris. The security
council had also the problems of
Italy’s colonies, west-east disagree
ment over atomic and arms con
trol and 50-odd other issues.
(MOSCOW)—The Russians
through Pravda called secretary
Trygve Lie of the U. N. an obedi
ent tool of the U. S. and Britain.!
Strange, because Russia originally
backed him for the office. The
same communist paper said the U.
S. and Britain are “doing every
thing in their power to postpone
a decision on Italian colonies.” The
Russians blocked action in this
week’s four-power meeting at
Paris, which they called, by insist
ing the meeting had no power to
act.
(WASHINGTON) — The U. S.
navy said the last of Japan’s bat
tle fleet will be scrapped this year.
(TOKYO)—A Russian spokes
man denied an implication by Gen.
MacArthur’s headquarters that the
Soviets are using the 500,000 Jap
anese prisoners they still hold for
slave labor.
(MOSCOW)—Russia denied also
her bombers violated the Danish
island of Bornholm. The Danes
said they flew over for two
straight days.
(BRUSSELS) — Belgian real es
tate firms apologized for trying to
force the U. S. to evacuate 12,000
war graves near Namur of U. S.
soldiers who died freeing Belgium.
(ATHENS)—Greek troops fight
ing communists in the Vitsi area
near Yugoslavia and Albania drew
back before strong rebel counter
attacks.

The 100-hour war in Hyderabad
ended abruptly today in Indian
victory when the wealthy Moslem
Nizam of the princely state gave
up.
Karachi advices said swift In
dian troops, who have been strik
ing from a dozen directions with
tanks armored cars, cannon and
planes since dawn Monday, had
reached the outskirts near the cap
ital city of Hyderabad.
Madras reported the Nizam sur
render. New Delhi, headquarters
of the Indian general staff, said he
ordered a cease fire effective at
once. The United Nations security
council will consider the princely
state’s charges of Indian aggres
sion Monday, when the current re
cess ends.
India invaded the south central
state with the avowed aim of re
storing order. The Nizam had re
fused to join the Indian union, al
though four out of five of his 16,
000,000 people are Hindus, like
most of the Indians. He said India
violated the 1946 stand-still agree
ment under which princely states
not wanting to accede to India
were not to be invaded after India
obtained independence and domin
ion status.
The Indian commander called on
the princely sta*e to lay down its
arms in the interests of humanity.
(BERLIN)—U. S., Britain and
France tightened their counter
blockade of the Russian zone of
Germany, shutting off the last
flow of goods from west to east.
Patrols were increased all along
border zones. The western block
ade was started in late July after
the Russians blocked the land ap
proaches to Berlin nearly three
months ago. It already has pinched
sharply the economy of the Soviet
zone.
German communist leaders sang
out their old refrain of scorn at the
leaders of Western Germany who
are writing a constitution for the
part of Germany controlled by the
western powers. The communists
said the western Germans are dis
rupting the country.
American and British army units
continued war games along the
Rhine. Surveys have been made
for more airfields to increase the
growing air lift to Berlin,
