Symbolic Story

The symbolic story of l948'S un- easy peace was written in the cap ital of defeated Germany. Bomb battered, carved up Berlin became the prestige prize of World War II.
 For six years the Allies had spent millions of lives to reach Berlin. When the Nazis finally were exterminated, in l945, Der lin became little world" divid- ed into four big sec.ors-Ameri- can, Russian, British and French where, it was hoped, the Tour great powers would govern in harmony. But now Berlin's 318 square miles became the funnel into which the discordS of the east, led by Soviet Russia on one side, and by the United States and the west on the other, were poured.
 When the Allies carved up beat en Germany they set up Russian controlled territory all around Berlin. Then, when they establish ed their capital in Berlin, the west ern powers could reach it only by travelling over Russian-controlled territory. The Americans believed they had an unwritten agreement to use automobile and rail roads from the U. s. zone into the Der lin, and they had written agree ment to use certain air corridors for planes flying into the city.
 As l948 began, the western pow CTS in Berlin--who had failed re- peatedly to get Russia to agree on

Its our way of telling the Rus sians their free ride is over"
 That free ride carried the Marx ist banners into little Czechoslo- vakia in February. In a rapid SC. rieS of moves, the Reds took over the Socialist party, forced anti communists to quit the cabinet banned foreign newspapers, and set up a government on the ap- proved Moscow model. On March 10, Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk son of CzechoSlovakia's beloved first president, went out his bath room window to death three floors below. Quickly the iron curtain clanked down over Prague.
 The Red ride did not quite make it 10 Rome. Italy's general cleo tionS in April, were a victory for the anti-communists.
 To keep the Communists from riding over western Europe, Con- gresS in April approved the for eign aid program built around a four-year plan for Europe's econo- mic recovery. ECA-the Economic Cooperation Administration - go, under way to help Europe to its feet. Its periodic repor through out the year indicated it was doing that job.
 Even with American economic aid helping Italy and yves e-l Eu- rope 10 resist the lures of S.aiin. there was always the shadow over he continent Of Russia's army, re- garded as the mightiest in the world. If America allowed herself o be pushed out of Berlin, most observers said, it would be Rus sia's cue that she could overrun the continent without resistance from the only nation powerful enough to counter her.
 But the big story of l948, for most of Europe and the world, was hat the U. s. showed, through 1er appropriations and her actions,
 at her stakes were planted in he old continent for good.
 Peace also had a rough time elsewhere in the world.

The year l948 was a year of un- easy peace, of uneasy prosperi y, of uneasy progress.
 Time table devised by the hope full during the war suggested this third full year after victory would find the world we'll on the road to permanent peace. But large-scale warfare flared in the Middle East It was a year of blood-letting in China. Chances of a lasting settle ment of the Russian question" grew dim.
 Scores of economic records were shattered in l948. American indus trial production hit its all-time peacetime peak. More Americans were working than ever before in peace. They were earning more, spending more, enjoying a more lavish standard of living. Yet in the midst of all their wealth, Americans looked to the future with foreboding. The fear of re- cession. depression, or panic, could not be shaken loose.
 Scientists made imp or | a T strides these past twelve months. Man flew faster than ever before in history Man made rocs0Hc, the infinitesimal com one ents of atoms. The first postwar furnace, using atomic power to generate electricity, neared completion. But while atomic science boomed, so did the threat of mankind'S self destruction in the face of the mighty atom.

 Politics
 When historians look back on these past twelve months, they canno. ignore one of the great Gin derella stories of American his tory.
 Sweeping Republican victories n the Congressional elections of l946, most observers thought, fore cast COP. victory in the Presi- dential race this year Republicans licked their lips some as Henry A. Wallace former secretary of com merce in President Truman's caO- net, announced a new party with himself as its head, to fight the ad- m.niStration'S trend toward war" After Truman aliena.ed powerful southern sections Of his ONn pay Oy his insis.encc On q Civ! Rights D ogram in Congress most Repub- leans fel. tle White House would De theirs in a walk.
 A host of Democrats walked out on Truman. Others hopped on bandwagon for Gen: Dwight D.. uke) Eisenhower, despite his re- peated statements that he would not run. Party leaders in key states, like Illinois Jake Arvey and Jerseys Frank Hague, said Truman's cause would be a hope less cause. But Ike's last mo" proved so definite that the "stop Truman" campaign died aborning.
 On June "A a jubilant Republi- can convention in Philadelphia. confident it was nominating the next President, voted first place on their ticket to smiling, unruf- fled, confident Thomas E. Dewey.
 Truman won the Democratic nomination July f5 in the same hall in Philadelphia. The conven- ton was listless, dispirited. When Truman delivered a fighting ac- ceptance speech, he reminded one reporter of Corpse who refuses to lie down at his own wake"
 Then another blow fell on Tru- man. Southern Democrats opposed to his Civil Rights program called 1t an invasion of states rights and held their own convention. Tn Bir- mingham July r, they nominated Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of South

a unified administration for Ger many-pushed plans for an econo- mic merger of their zones. As early as January II the Russian Army paper in Berlin was limiting that the Reds might try to push the American and British out of the city. After the failure of the Foreign Ministers conference late in l947, the "cold war" progressed to the point where Foreign Secre- tary Bevin of Great Britain was calling for a spiritual union" of Western Europe to oppose the Red bloc in the east-tension mounted in Berlin.
 In February, the Big Three" of the west opened talks in London on what to do with western Ger many. There were Russian pro-
 ests that the talks violated the Potsdam agreement, but early in March the Big Three" along with Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg, announced an agree ment in principle to intern ize the Ruhr'S economy under western control and to bring Ger many's western zones into the Marshall Plan. The Soviet re- SponSe was ominous is delegation stumped out of the Allied Control Council meeting in Berlin.
 On April l, the Russians began topping military trains for Ber- lin at the border of their zone, de- manding they be inspected. Grad ually, in the next few weeks, the Reds shut off all rail and road traffic from the western zones to Berlin. The Americans began fly
 ng food and supplies into what now became an isolated island. The Berlin airlift-one of the great aviation transport achieve ments of our time-was born.
 Numerous attempts were made to solve the Berlin question. AL lied representatives met with S.a- lin in the Kremlin in August and smilingly announced agreement n principle" but the talks fell down. The Allies handed the case )ver to the United Nations Secur- .ty Council when it met in Paris n September. Still the issue re- .nained deadlocked. Russia insist d that the western powers with draw their new currency from Berlin; the west insisted that the blockade must be lifted first.
 Free Ride Ends
 While the big freeze, developed on the diplomatic level, an air of crisis flew along the bomb-pocked streets of Berlin. Kidnapping" grew; there were near-riots when soviet officers shot at anti-com- nunist demonstrators near the Brandenbrug Gate. And as the city-wide elections scheduled for December 6 came closer, the com munists set up their own regime in their zone and urged their fol- lowers to boycott the balloting in the western sectors. The vote, however, was rousing rebuke for the Communists.
 2, Why was Berlin so important? One American official explained:

 Truman didn't believe them. Tn his speeches Truman hit hard proof, sadi the experts, that he, too, knew his back was flat to the wall.
 He set out on a tireleSS cross country tour, stopping at hun dreds of pin-point hamlets, ready always for "chat with the folks"

The Republicans, he said, were "gluttons of privilege silent and cunning men who have a dangerous lust for power punch of old mosSbacks, living 2 back in 1890 .

 From one end of the country to the other, Truman preached that the Republican 8Oth Congress is q do-nothing Congress" What his country needs,," he said, lis no. a new President, but a new Congress.
 While Truman lashed ou; in all directions, Dewey conducted 2 calm and confident campaign. Aside from a few thrusts at his opponents "fumbling," he prom ised that he would bring national unity into the government.
 l. was all over but the voting. On November ? Harry Truman pulled the political coup of the century. And into office he swept with him a Democratic House of Representatives and a Democratic Senate.
 Now if appeared that his entire domes ic program, on most of which the Republican Congress had fought him to a standstill, might stand better chance,
 Living Costs
 Probably no general subject in the news was as talked about in l948 as that three-Word phrase: Cos: of Living" If ever a phrase were household phrase, it was this.
 > S.;!l pursuing the postwar trend, economic records fell like ,enpins in l943. During the year, new peaks were set for such things as he value of the coun- try's total production, the coun. try's national income, the total number of people employed. Dur l79 the year, the cost of living also hit new high. In August, the Bureau of Labor Statistics report ed, it cost Sl.745 to buy the same essentials for an average-income family that $1.00 would buy in thu four years before the start of World War II.
 In general-we were spending more, but we also were earning more. Economists who stood back bit and got perspective on what was going on said that never.
