Britain Warns U.N. That Settlement
of German Problems Depends On
Lifting Berlin Blockade By Soviet
u. N. Council
Opens Heorinq
On Dispu+e

Paris, Oct. 19-(P)-Britain
warned the United Nations Sec
urity Council today that any
scheme for settlement of East
West German problems is DOOM
ed to failure as long as the
Soviet blockade of Berlin con-
tinues.
Argentine Foreign Minister
Juan Attic Bramuglia called the
meeting to order.
Sir Alexander Cadogan of Bri-
tain led off the western attack
with an indictment of the tight
ening Soviet Blockade. He spoke
on behalf of all three western
powers, Britain, France and the
United States
Russian Deputy Foreign Min
lister Andrei Y. Vishinsky, re-
ported suffering from cold,
was at the council table.
Sir Alexander served notice
the three western powers now
feel it is impossible to negotiate
with the Russians even on the
basis of the Aug. 30 agreement
with Prime Minister Stain.
Cadogan spoke to answer re.
quest from Brambuglia, the act.
ing council president, for de-
tails on the blockade, the Aug.
80 agreement and how it was
acted upon by the big four zonal
commanders in Germany.
Cadogan began with brief
history of the Soviet blockade,
which he said was becoming
progressively stricter."
THE imposition of these re-
strictions," he charged, "con-
stituted a planned and insidious
attempt to harass the western
occupying powers in the dis
charge Of their obligations in
Berlin and to white away
their rights as an occupying
power"
Russian reasons for the block
ade, the Briton said, are incon-
sistent and an insult to the in
telligence of military officers" of
the western armies.
On several occasions Vishin-
silky drowned out Cadogan on
the public address system with
heavy fits of coughing and
sneezing.

Mr.. Truman flew here last
night from the American Legion
conventio at Miami to take per-

He planned to speak again at

before flying back to Washing

There was no outward evi-
dence Of the Southern Democrat
ic revolt either at Miami or at
Raleigh yesterday. Both cities
gave the chief executive a warm
welcome.
Mr.. Truman in his prepared
text took occasion to assert that

lin D. Roosevelt and the latter's
Secretary Of State, Cordell Hull.

He discarded his non-political
robes, however, for his invasion
Of North Carolina in an undis-

He took the position that votes
