~~>Then Balance the Days Work
BY STANLEY BATE

For concentrated activity

hours rates high in the white
collar league. Indeed, business
machines set up such q clat-
ter in some departments that
the decibels approach the iron

people realize that some
banks require night shifts to
get out the work?
When the lobby Is cleared
of customers at 2 pm. and
the big doors clang shut, the
rank and file of the bank
hands really get to work.
THE first thing that hap
pens after closing time" said
one vice president, with a

So do some of the lesser
hands.
Behind their cages the tell
ers begin totting up the

big objective is to reach a
settlement" balance debts
and credits. As one teller
laughingly remarked: why
not get a picture of us getting
a settlement and call it The
Miracle? Or a picture of us
down on hands and knees
looking for the difference'?"
The difference" it seems,
is a debit or credit slip which
a teller could easily misplace

with the proof department,

Here, too, checks drawn on
local banks are sorted and
made ready to be carried the
next morning to the clearing

An important after hour
activity in some banks is the
photographing Of each check,
front and back, on 16-miln-
meter film. This provides q
permanent record in case out

any question about a check.
Late in the afternoon the

Climbing hills, you depress the

car sounds and shoots away like a

horsepower.
The car steers easily, and except
for the added length. swings around
corners like your old Ford. Hitler

There is a tremendous feeling of

The Soviet method of infiltration
by fear. hunger and confusion is
only too well known to today's Ber-
liners.
In fact. the Pandoras box that
released the whole evil system might
very well be stamped. Made in
Germany" The Reds had only to
copy the Nazis and ado a few ORR
ental inventions OF their own.
Even q round-trip visitor to Ber-
lin can learn from many sources
that there's nothing new about a
spy network which pits worker
against worker or poisons families
with suspicion and treachery.
The men and women of the West
ern sector who have said or done
things to promote democratic way
Of life did so with full realization
that their words and deeds would
be recorded and reported in secret
for future reference.
They will tell you quite frankly
that once the Americans, British
and French pull out of Berlin they
can look forward to nothing better
than concentration camps, the salt
mines or the rattle of Tommy guns
in the fists of automatons. The
roundup squads won't even need
to move under cover OF midnight
in civilian clothing.
Openly Support Allies.
Under the circumstances, it Is
surprising how many Berliners have
stuck their necks out a couple of
yards by openly supporting the pol
icies OF the Western democracies.
1t seems to be fact, as far as
could learn from various check
points, that at least 80 per cent OF
the Berliners in the Western sector
would rather half starve and shiver
through another grim winter, or
several of them, than be turned over
to the tender mercies of the men
from the East.
All this loyalty, of course, does not
spring from any great love for the
powers whose air armadas tumbled
their capital down around their ears
Most of it is due to fear OF the
Russians, the kind of fear that
gnaws deepest into an empty stom-
ach, and renews itself by contasion
from daily associates in a similar
condition.
There is a sharp contrast between
the plodding, rather pale and none
too-vigorous city folk living under
the shadow of the big hammer and
the country Germans waxing a bit
fat and sassy back in the American
zone. These latter fortunates, how
ever, haven't forgotten their city
cousins.
One of the features of the air lift
to Berlin was a spontaneous out
pouring of all manner OF gifts OF
food and clothing for the blockaded
capital. Plenty of people waving
the big ships out were almost as
busy for a while waving off things
like fat and Tapping geese, pigs on

the like. Such cargo was bit too
much, even for the troop carriers,

freighter Axel Salen to an anchorage
in the lower harbor today after an
all-night battle on Chesapeake Bay
against cargo fire.
Smoke was still rolling from the
No. 2 hold as she anchored and
crew members watched the stub

signs of a new outbreak. The blaze
on the 7,50o-ton ship was considered

No injuries were reported from

The Axel Salen is sister shin
of the Dagmar Salen, which was
