Soviet Hints Intention
To Quit Berlin Council
And Rule City Alone
By the Assoeioted Press

BERLIN, June 1.-THE Soviet
official press limited today that the
Russians are considering withdraw
ing from four-power rule of Berlin
and attempting to substitute their
own control over the city.
Four-power rule over Berlin is ex-
ercised by the Allied Kommanda-
tura, but some Of its functions have
been abandoned or suspended be-
cause Of Russian withdrawal.
A long editorial In Taegliche
Rundschau asserted that Komman-
datura efforts to solve Berlin's prob
lens had been seriously impeded by
inter-A1lied arguments. The Rus
slams blamed these on the three
western powers.
Consequently, the newspaper said,
Russian authorities are weighing
two courses: Whether to try to
continue running Berlin on a fotr-
power basis or to restort to direct
negotiations between German au-
thorities and the Soviet administra-
ton in Germany"
II the latter course is adopted,
Rundschau said, it would be recog-
nized that the influence of the
Soviet administration for Germany
in Berlin is indisputable, owing to
the fact that Berlin lies in the
Soviet occupation zone of Ger
many"
The Soviet newspaper said the
western powers had sabotaged the
Kommandatura and converted it
more and more into an instrument
for irresponsible and lying propa-
ganda directed against the Soviet
occupation zone" 1t said the citys
German government is increasingly
bypassing the Kommandatura and
appealing for help directly to the
four military commandants, "espe-
cially to the Soviet commandant."
The Russians yesterday inter-
cepted and held up five trainloads
of coal destined for Berlin from the
British and American zones. They
said the trains we're Improperly ad-
dressed"
The action was part of a new
tightening of Soviet international
travel and transport restrictions. 1t
followed "a hours of confusion
created by Russian rejection of in
terzonal travel passes issued by the
British.

If You Plan to Fly,
This May Save You
From Air Sickness
By !. R. HeqeI

Several boys and girls who are
contemplating a first flight. have
asked me about air sickness.
Air sickness Is rare. 1t has drop
ped over so per cent on all airlines
during the last few years. Yet it
can happen to any one. There are
many causes-motion, fatigue, nerv-
business, indiscretion in eating or
drinking, eyestrain, abnormal sensi-
tivity to noise, other factors.
If you are taking an air trip for
the first time, it may be just as well
if you observe a few rules. Make
it a short air journey to begin with,
and choose a pleasant, day to do 1t
in.s In bumpy: weather, the plane
often drops a few hundred feet at
once, a feeling like going down in
an elevator very fast. Clear, weather
means smooth flying. Should the
weather be bumpy, however, close
your eyes for a moment and enjoy
the movement. Plane movement Is
pleasant if you believe that 1t is.
For most people, even those sudden
drops are exhilarating.
Eat lightly before the trip. No
stimulants, no starchy food, no rich
desserts Don't strain the eyes, and
when in the plane itself, shift your
gaze about. Look at cloudbanks now
and then, or glance off at the hori-
zon. Make sure excitement is not
making you breathe too rapidly.
Quick breathing produces dizziness
and blurred vision. If you find your
self breathing rapidly, take tip
from experienced flying men-hold
your breath for a moment. then start
breathing normally and slowly.

Stands in the snow outside the

He lets them pelt him ceaselessly

He lets them have their fun today

For the sun will shine tomorrow

Journalism Students
Tour Star Building
3 -. Prize Contribution
By Frances D. Washington, II
Dunbar High School

Journalism students at Dunbar
High School recently toured The
Star Building, where they learned
many interesting things and saw
many marvellous operations. One
conclusion that I reached was that
our daily paper, in addition to being
the creation OF editorial and adver-
Using skills and techniques, Is a
wonderful manufactured product.
We learned that in producing the
paper reporters and photographers
interview, gather the news and take
pictures. Then the news is dis
patched to the city and copy desks,
where corrections are made. The
mechanical department picks up
where the news, editorial and ad-
vertising sections leave of.
Many departments of the building
we entered and saw numerous work
ers, such as the linotype operators,
photoengravers, makeup men, ster-
eotypers, pressmen and, the most
interesting workers to me, the tele-
type operators. In this room infor-
nation is gathered from or sent to
all parts of the country through the
Associated Press by means OF an
electric automatic typewriter.
The guide was very interesting;
we asked him many questions, which
he answered in a way that we could
understand very clearly. The other
employees were courteous and ac-
commodating. After our tour
through the building we showed our
appreciation by thanking our guide
and telling him how interesting the
trip had been to us.

Sharing Blessings
Prize Contribution
By Linda Ann Zorin, 9
Rudolph School

During the war my mother sent
clothes and food to some Dutch
people in Europe. These people were
kept in a concentration camp by
the Germans. They were a mother
and daughter. The father was
killed.
When the war was over the girl
and her mother went to Texas. My
family and I went to visit them
They told my mother that they
didn't know how to thank her, that
we saved their lives. We have God
to thank for that because He gave
us food and warmth to share with
others.
We and every one in America
have something to be thankful for.
So please share it with others and
make them happy, too.
