The Washington Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
(Copyricht, l94s. by The Bell Syndicate
 Inc)

WASHINGTON Most important factor influencing the dynamite laden Berlin situation is that throughout most of Europe the Russians are losing out.
 This is what makes Berlin even more dangerous-for the Russians cannot afford to backdown. To do so would be a mortal blow to their prestige in all of Europe. It would mean even more cracks in the Iron Curtain.
 A nation that is winning can af- ford to be magnanimous, but na- tion that is losing, can't. And government leaders who are des- cerate, are dangerous.
 In addition to the Tito revolt, here are some of the signs indicat- ing that the Soviet's alleged far flung empire is beginningto crack up:
 Bulgaria-George Dimitrov. Con- munist leader Of Bulgaria, is so afraid the long arm of Moscow will reach him that he doesn't go outside his home without an armed guard.
 Poland-RuSsian attempts to communize the farms are stirring

American Superforts or On World Fzgh
Reign Of Terror, in Which
 7kiIIed in 14 Days, Ends
 In Wild F|urrY of Bu!Ie!s

VAN VERT. O.. July 23.-lR- Two youthful eX-convicts who ter rorized Ohio with seven slayings in the last IA days, hit the end of their crime career today at a Van Vert county police road block. One way dying shot between the eyes, and the other captured.
 Two police officers were wound- ed in the wild furry of rifle and pistol shots.
 James C. West. 24-year-old be- spectacled reformatoIy parolee from Parkersburg, w. Va, described as the gun happy" member of the bandit pair, was shot between the eyes.
 His partner, 22-year-old Robert M. Daniels of Columbus. put up his hands and surrendered-and then confessed all seven of the kill ings which have kept the midwest in a two-week turmoil,
 A driveway truck, with four automobiles aboard, approached. The officers stopped it for a rou- tine check.
 The driver of the truck came out of the cab, an army rifle blaz- ing. Sgt. l.. D.. Conn, AZ, Van Vert policeman, went down With a bullet in his chest Frank A. Friemoth, 55. county game protec- tor, also fell with a bullet in his breast.
 Guns Blaze
 Both officers, with Sheriff Roy Shaffer, blazed away with their guns despite the wounds, and Ser geant Conn finally hit the driver between the eyes with a machine gun bullet. The driver was identi- fled as West.
 As the firing ceased. man crawled from one of the four trucks on the driveway, his hands in the air He said he was Dan
  iels, and the Highway Patrol said he admitted he and West had committed the seven killings for which they had been sought over 20 states the last two weeks.
 No trace of the regular driver of the driveway truck had been found, opening the possibility that he, too, may have been a victim of the killers.
 End of Trail
 The pair of gunmen hit the end of their trail only a few hours after they had killed the last two of their seven victims farmer James Smith, 25, of Tiffin, who was slain as he sat in a car with his wife, and another man tenta- lively identified as Glenn Gsch- wind. a 24-year-old Navy veteran of Fremont, whose body was founo early today.
 The gray Pontiac car in which the killers launched their career ii days ago by staying Earl Am hrcse, Columbia tavern operator, was found beside Gschwind's body
 Next on the list of victims was Frank Kerech, middle -aged tourist camp operator, at Flat Rock, Mich
 Three Kidnapped, Slain
 Then the killers, after being seen momentarily in southeastern Ohio swept into the northern section and back to the Mansfield Reform atory.
 There. before dawn, they routed a reiormatory official, his wife anc 2l-year- -old daughter from theil beds in their nightclothes, ran sacked the residence to obtain 6 shotgun, rifle and revolver. anc then shot the three to death in 6 rain-swept cornfield The nude bodies of reformatory farm super. intendent John Biebel, 50, his wife Nolanda, 52, and 21-year -old Phyl- lis, her red hair done up in pir curriers', were found hours later.

U. S. STAYS
 j IN BERLIN, SAYS CLAY
American Military Gov ernor in Germany to
 Return fo Post
CBy The Associated Press)

Gen. Lucius D. Clay declared to- day U. s. Forces in Germany can and will carry out the American in- tention to stay in blockaded Berlin
 The American Military Governor made the statement to House For eign Affairs Committeeman and then went to the White House for another secret session with President Truman. He returns to Berlin to- night.
 Hope increased in Washington that the crisis, provoked by Russia 27 days ago in closing rail. road and barge access to Berlin, could be sol we'd without war.
 WASHINGTON-President Tru- mans assertion that he considers excellent the chances of achieving eventual world peace appeared to be tased in part on the hope that Rus sia will cooperate with the Vest ern powers in their avoWed inten- ton or seeking a settlement short of war. It was noted that the So- viets thus far have refrained from any kind of military action, even of an "accidental' sort.
 MOSCOW-The Russian govern ment newspaper Ivestia accused the Americans and British in Berlin of making use of the suffering of human beings for low political pur- poses"

Benjamin Banneker
School News

AS an Outgrowth of a social stu
dies discussion, the seventh grade
class of Benjamin Banneker School
has launched out on a community
project that we hope will create
a great deal of interest.
One pupil, DeIOres Sharp, spoke
of the need of improving the ap-
pearance of Lewis Cemetery. This
led to a discussion from which the
following facts were drawn:
1. The cemetery is a disgrace to
Milford.
2. 1t is in a strategic location,
where it can be seen by all who
pass by.
8. 1t shows that we, after a
short time, forget our loved ones
who have passed on to the great
beyond.
After the discussion, the seventh
grade decided to do something
about it. Their first step was tC
invite the presidents and one other
member of each church and com.
munity organizations to meet at the
school to discuss the cemetery
problem and to set up various TEN.
pOrary committees.
At this meeting the temporary
chairman, Jamezenna Vann, call

Milford Band Has
Splendid Record

The Milford Band has played and
marched itself up to two first
prizes and one second prize so far
this season and this is only the
beginning. If the band makes as
much Improvement this summer as
1t did last summer, it will make
Milford famous. Get i'm the Band.
Big things are being planned and
to find out what they are, one must
merely attend the special meeting,
Thursday, June 3, at 1880 D. m.
There will be a short concert by
both the Junior and Senior Bands.
In addition to the discussion about
summer parades and concerts, the
Summer Band School will be set
up.
Some facts about the Milford
Summer Band School are:
1. Starts Wednesday, June 16.
2. Ends Wednesday, August IL.
3. Cost $500 for student for 8
weeks.
5. Age limit, 6 years to 60 years
or over.
5. What is available to each
student each week, one private les
son, one class lesson, and at least
one band rehearsal.
6. Attendance, no one is re-
quired to attend. The low $500 fee
was made with the thought in
mind that the average student
would be away or 8 weeks. If a
student attends all s weeks, one
might say he is getting 3 weeks
of instruction free. Some students
due to working or travel Difficult
ties, may wish to take private les
sons only. This is permissible.
z. Schedule, it is our desire tt
help as many students as possible
The schedule will be set up will
l.. the convenience of the student ii
mind. Get in the Band.

Protest From Russia
On TripoIi Air Base
Is Confirmed by u. 5.
BY the ksseciefsd Press

Russia has objected to United
States plans to reopen an air.
base in North Africa.
First word that q formal protest
has been filed with both the
United States and Britain came in
q Moscow radio broadcast today.
Government officials, confirming
that the protest was received here
last week, said reply will be sent
to Moscow within the next few days.
Wont Predict Answer.
They refused to predict what the
answer will say. But they stressed
that the United States and Britain
feel they have legal right to put
American built Mellaha airbase,
near Tripon, back in operation.
Moscow radio said Russia con-
tends that United States operation
of the air field in the former
italian colony Of Lihya Is contrary
to the terms of the Italian peace
treaty.
Quoting a Tass (Soviet news
agency dispatch, the broadcast
said:
"It was pointed out that recon-
struction of the military airbase in
Mellaha constituted an act directed
in the first turn against the coun-
tries of the new democracy in
Europe"
Planned as Service Stop.
A United States Air Force an
nouncement in Frankfurt, Germany,
January IA, said the Mellaha base is
to be used as service stop for Air
Transport Command planes.
But Moscow radio said the Ameri-
can and British press stressed the
great military strategic Importance
OF this base, making possible the
domination of the Eastern and Gen.
tral Mediterranean"
Britain agreed to the American
decision to restore the field to ac-
tive service. The British have oc-
cupied Libya since 1943. Final dis
position Of the former italian colony
has not been agreed on by the Big
Four nations-United States, Brit
ain, Russia and France.

Russia and Ukraine
Support YugosIavia

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. b.-Despite
Cominform attacks ON Marshal Tito,
Soviet Russia and the Ukraine
backed Yugoslavia yesterday in 4
tight with the West over Trieste.
There was not the slightest sign
In the United Nations Security
Council Of the rift in Communist
circles caused by the blasts of the
Communist Information Bureau
against the head of the Yugoslav
state.
It was the first clear-cut indica-
ton here that the party struggle
had not dented the solid Slav front
In conflicts with the outside world.
Yugoslavia brought up the Council
tight by charging the United States
and Britain with violating the
italian peace treaty. DR.. Joza VII
fan, Yugoslav delegate, declared the
Western powers were trying to make
their zone of the Trieste territory q
province of Italy.
DR.. Philip c. Jessup, American
deputy, and Sir Alexander Cadogan
Of Britain replied that Yugoslavia
had no foundation for the charges.
