stirring up civil commotion in this
blockaded city.
1t was led of Thursday, they said,
by the gunfire raid OF Soviet sector
German police on black marketers in
Potsdamer Platz which turned into
violent anti Communist riot by
angry. stonethrowing Germans.
The change in Russian tactics, in
the British view. is an attempt to
cause public confusion and turmoil
in the hope of making the Western
Allies isoleted position here un-
tenable and so drive them out of the
city.
This policy was backed by violent
statements from Col. Alexis Jeli-
sarov. deputy Russian commander
in Berlin, and sharp propaganda
attacks in the Communist press
against what they charged were
Western-protected Fascist bands. "
German Reds Aggressive.
Berliners, already under severe
nervous strain by the pressure of
the Russian blockade, also have
been subjected to the increasing
aggressive tactics of the German
Communists in their attempts to
take over the elected Socialist city
government.
The Communist maneuvers have
resulted in the division of the po-
lice department and then splitting
of the city's food, labor and fuel
departments.
Col. Jelisarov defiantly declared
the Soviet police raids on black
marketers will continue whether
the higher-placed protector mean-
ing Western occupation authorities)
Of the Berlin proflteers like 1t or
not"
The American commander, Col
Frank L. Howley, has said any in
crease in black market activities
was due to the Soviet blockade.

LONDON, Aug. 21.-Samuel F

streets of London today in a uni
form which was blaze of gold

Any one might have mistaken
him for an admiral. captain OF

The Boobies saluted him.
Actually, said Mr.. Keener, the

I'm not even corporal" he said
I'm just Sam Keener, steel man

But the uniform has its practical
uses, and that's why Mr.. Keenel
wears It. He flew the Atlantic in
his own DC-3 transport plane and
is using it to hop around Europe
looking at steel mills and his owr
extensive industrial plants.
At European airports, said Mr.

For Start Of Talks
I0n Berlin Crisis
By the Assoeiofed Press

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Aug. 2l.-
Henry Wallace, Progressive Party
candidate for president. claimed
credit tonight for the start of nego-
tiations with Russia on the Berlin
crisis. =.
In HIS first public appearance since
his nomination last month at the
third party convention, Mr.. Wallace
demanded:
Would the men who tried to re-
pudiate my letter to Stain two
months ago now be working toward
a meeting with Stain on the prob
lens Of Germany If we Progressives
had not carried the fight on the
cold war?"
The Third Party candidate also
credited his party with:
/. Being vital element" In fore
ing the administration to recognize
the new State Of Israel.
Attacks Spy Hearings.
2. Forcing both major parties tc
make statements against racial seq
regation and discrimination.
3. Preventing the enactment oi
the Mundt- Nixon bill to outlaw the
Communist Party.
Mr.. Wallace preceded his review
of the Accomplishments" Of his new
party with an attack on the present
Congressional spy hearings.
He called the inquiry into alleged
communist activity In the Govern.
ment "the greatest diversionary
movement since Nero gave the
Roman populace circuses."
THE people cry for relief from
ruinous prices and they are given
spy thrillers," he said. They cry
for houses and they are given witch
hunts"
Views on Initiation.
Mr.. Wallace called the present
imitation cold war prosperity" He
said it proved the Government coulc
not raise living standards anc
armies" at the same time.
The former Vice President anc
Commerce Secretary accused both
Republicans and Democrats of max
ing mutually inconsistent promises
and fostering a"monstrous Illusion"
THE old parties promise to builc
houses-and barracks: to curb In.
fiation-and arm you; to expano
social security-and draft you: tt
extend civil rights-and put you ir
war economy where all civi
rights disappear"

Most D. T.. Churches
Will Ignore Protest
On Draft in Sermons

Few, If any, Protestant churches
in Washington will observe today
as a day Of mourning and repent
ance" because Congress passed the
peacetime draft act, a Star survey
last night indicated.
On August 0 the National Coun-
Gil Against Conscription, 1913 Eight
zenith street NV, issued a state
ment signed by prominent Protes-
tant clergymen of the Nation urging
that today be observed as one of
mourning and repentance" in pro-
test against passage of the draft
law. The statement, terming peace
time conscription "a threat to the
democratic way ,of life," declared
millions of citizens regard 'the ar
guments advanced against the pas
sage of this act as valid" and as
serted peacetime conscription was
"a dangerous and iniquitous meas
ure." &
Among those signing the state
fnent was DR.. James M. Dawson OF
Washington, executive secretary OF
the Joint Conference Committee on
public relations of Baptists OF the
United States.
=. DIR. Hastings Gives Views.
DR.. j. Warren Hastings, pastor OF
National City Christian Church
said:
II am doing nothing about it be-
cause I do not think that is the
proper and most effective way to
show ones dissent at the draft law
I believe that method is too melo-
dramatic and has tendency to
make people on both sides of the
issue firmer in their convictions.
The result will be to draw the lines
more distinctly, which will only
mean the beginning of a prolonged
fight. When more people become
Christian the draft will not be
necessary"
The Rev. j. H. Miers, pastor of
Fourth Presbyterian Church, said
he expected to express disagreement
with the protest in his sermon today.
81 cannot conceive of taking all the
things this country gives and then
standing by and letting an enemy
country do what it wants he ex-
planned.
Baptist churches of Washington
have not advised the District Bap-
tist Convention that they intended
to observe the day. the Rev. Frank
Brasington of the Convention said
last night. He pointed out many
ministers we're out of town and that
visiting preachers would be reluc-
tant to take any stand on such an
issue from anothers pulpit.
Admiral White Opposes Stand.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press
reported that Rear Admiral Robert
J. White, U. s. N. retired, president
of the Military Chaplains Associa-
ton of the United States, yesterday
deplored the proposal of some
clergymen to make tomorrow day
Of mourning and repentance be-
cause of the military draft"
Father White, who is summering
at Pine Point, Me, further asserted,
"In contrast the day should be pro-
claimed an observance of 'trium--
phaats.faith and firm resolution in
God and in America where every
man may worship according to his
conscience"
He also recommended "a day OF
Arm resolution by all American
youth to give willing obedience tc
Lawful military training, that they
may never see the dark day of re-
pentauce' of nations which failed tc
keep strong and able~to defend the
priceless freedoms which make
