Berlin Government Is Major
 Big Three Political Problem
BY CURT R1Ess

Copyright, 1945, NEA Service Incl
 Berlin July 12-When President Truman, Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Stalin meet here for the important Big Three barley, one of the major political problems on the docket will be the admins tration of Berlin itself.
 The German capital = one of the largest cities in the world - will be administered by the Four Powers: Great Britain, France, Russia and the United States. Representatives of the four nations have been discussing government problems which will be referred to the Big Three for solution.
 The situation in Berlin just now is utterly confusing. The Russians took the city and therefore installed there an administration and accord ing to their ideas of how an occu- pied country should be run. That is logical. But their ideas and ours do not coincide. Are we now going to run "ouE' part of Berlin the way we think it should be run? Are the British and the French running their areas according to their ideas?
 For instance, we haven't yet per- mitted theaters and movie houses to be opened in our zone. The Russians have already permitted plays and motion pictures for German audi ences, both in Berlin and in the rest of their occupation zone. Will theaters for Germans be permitted only in the Russian part of Berlin? Are we going to close theaters open ed by the Russians when we take over our part of the city?
 COMPLEX QUESTIONS
 The Russians have encouraged the formation of political parties. We and the British haven't. Will we force Berliners living in our zones to leave the parties they have join ed? Dozens of questions as com- plex as this one have arisen. Will we, for example, remove Russian posters, prominently displaying pho- tographs of Stalin, from the parts of Berlin which we occupy?
 This correspondent has talked to Russian, American and British high officers who will be instrumental in deciding Berlin policy. They didn't wish to be quoted, but were willing to outline their main ideas.
 The Russians feel that it is ab- solutely necessary to agree on com- mon Allied policy for Berlin. They think there is necessity for equal conditions for all Berliners. Other wise Berliners will constantly fluc- tuate from one part of the city to another.
 They are willing to grant civilians the right to go anywhere in Berlin. They also posed the question of whether we would allow soldiers to cross demarcation lines. We said yes

COLUMBIA RIVER DAMS PAY U. s. BIG DIVIDENDS

Portland, Ore, July 12. (UP) -America'S taxpayers - all stock holders in the. Columbia River, America's number one power stream are promised repayment with inter- est for every dollar of investment made in the federal power projects on the Columbia and in the 2,700,- mile Bonneville : Grand Coulee transmission sytenl.
 Officials declare gross revenues from the sale of power from Bonne- vile and Grand Coulee dams are past the $62,000, 900 mark. The net surplus total $14, 500 ,000-after pay ment of all power costs, interest on investment, operating and nain- tenance expenses.
 Annual gross revenues run close to $23,000,000. Governing the big surplus, D. L. Marlet, assistant Bon- neville administrator said it is 8 wartime phenomena" and will serve as cushion when revenues level out after Northwest war in- dustries close down.
 Marlett said, from the long-rage view, Bonneville's basic wholesale rate of $17.50 per kilowatt year is fixed as just about the right level to assure replayment within 50 years of the federal investment.
 Bonneville and Grand Coulee pro- jects are not only self-supporting, he said, but are also paying huge divi- dends to the Northwest by provid- ing the basis for development of new tax-paying. job producing in- duStrieS.

Sal Borreli of 25 Cherry Street, accompanied by his wife, Rose, and son, Anthony, paid unexpected visit to the Franklin D. Roosevelt Museum at Hyde Park Tuesday and missed seeing General Dwight D. Eisenhower laying a wreath the grave of his late commander n-chief by five minutes The trio were passing through Hyde Park when sign attracted their attention to the famed site and today they're than thankful they stopped over. They unanim- ously agree everything in the museum should be viewed by every American. They saw the shoes FDR wore when five months old, the library room where the chief executive made all his famous br0adcaSts, his White House desk and chair and the dozen canes he used time and time again. The twenty-sx cents charge asked for admission to the old building is most reasonable, opine the BOrrells, Another hbit which thrilled them the rug valued at $1OO, 900 and which took 10 years to make which Persians sent to FDR as gift.

trained personnel for this job. We've been preparing our men for years to take over. The Russians, however, improvised astonishingly well.
 We believe the feeding of Der. lin should be done as before: Name ly, by the surrounding areas which produce more than they need. TWO DIFFERENCES
 The British are more or less of the same opinion as we are. They are equally impressed about the Russian organization. The officer to whom I talked hasn't received any definite instructions concern dng political parties, but person. ally he thinks they should be left alone.
 According to my information, every difference has been straight ened out, at least in principle, ex- cept two: One is the question of

for single soldiers, no for formations. The Russians haven't made up their minds yet on this question.
 United States policy isn't quite clear. Main stress is on the ex- change of information, which is deemed absolutely necessary. So far collaboration with the Russians is termed extremely satisfactory ? though it cannot be denied that the Russians are extremely and unnec- essarily suspicious.
 The schools which the Russians already have opened must be CO., ordinated. We think there won't be any difficulty on this score.
 The American officer with whom I talked was much impressed by the Russian Military Government in Berlin, which he declared was frnc- tioning well. This surprised him, since the Russians hadn't any

feeding Berlin. The Allies feel that Berlin should be fed from the east, as always before. The Russians are reluctant to do all the feeding from Russian occupied territory. We don't wish to import food into Germany
 Second is the question of fuel. Some way must be found to heat Berlin homes this winter. There is also the question of tools and ma- chimes. The Russians have taken away most of the usable machines to replace those destroyed by the Germans. Who is going to furnish the new machines without which Germany is unable to produce?
 Until today, it seemed that the commanding generals would decide the overall policy. Now it seems that the two main questions still open can only be decided by the Big Three at their barley.
