GAITHERSBURG, Md. IT Weli' I had a swell vacation-at least until the pigs got loose.
 Before the vacation started had studied road maps and dreamed up all sorts of tours. I figured on going out to see my daughter in California, and my wife's aunt in New Mexico. I bothered Karl Bickel about the best way to reach his hideaway in Ontario, Canada, and corresponded with Sumner welles about a trip up to Bar Har- bor.
 But in the end I decided that, with real foIeworks likely to break out in Berlin this winter, ought to take a look at things before hand, so got reservations for Europe and went through the red tape of an American Military Government permit to visit Ger many.

THOUSANDS
 ON STRIKE
 IN NATION
Various Industries Are PardIyzed : Situation
 on Pacific Coast
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 Thousands of men in the oil, ship ping and trucking industries are on strikes today and hopes of early settlement appeared dim.
 More than l15,000 workers, in cluding 50,0O0 Detroit auto plant employees, remained idle because of work stoppages. Several thousand lonRshoremen on the Pacific Coast; l5,O0O CIO refinery workers and some 15,O00 AFL truck drivers in New York City and northern New Jersey are out on strikes.
 Representatives of six major oil companies and the CIO Workers Union resumed negotiations in an attempt to end the week-old strike as the Federal Government placed temporary embargo on shipment oi gasoline and other fuels from West Coast ports.
 The union is asking 21 cents an hour pay increase. The Los Angeles area was the hardest hit in supplies of gasoline but a million gallons was to be sent from Oklahoma. \
 In New York, leaders of striking Local 807 of the AFL International Brotherhood of Teamsters called a union membership meeting this af- ternoon to decide whether to reduce the wage demands from 25 cents to l7ia cents an hour.
 The truckers quit work 10 days ago after rejecting an employer off CT of a IS cents an hour pay hike. About 1000 strikers at meeting yesterday, voted not to propose the lower wage demands.
 About 1000 of the 4,3o0 New Jer- sey truckers who joined in the strike five days ago were expected to re- turn to work today. Members of Local 478 in Newark last night rati- fled agreements with 16 independent trucking concerns.
 The CIO Longshoremen Union members voted on whether to have their leaders sign non-Communist affidavits and accept the final wage offer by the West Coast employers. The union announced the vote at Seattle was 1,468 to l9 against its leaders signing the affidavits. The strikers at Seattle also voted 1,467 to IS against accepting the employ CTS last offer-a pay raise of 10 cents an hour. The union had demanded a hike of IS cents an hour.
 Union President Harry Bridges said he would resume negotiations after votes in the coastwide union election were counted.
 The strike, now in it's ninth day, has tied up l60 ships from Puget Sound to San Diego.
 The 50,O0O auto workers were made idle in Detroit after a strike by ITO independent plant guards at the Briggs Manufacturing Company. They included 25.O0O Briggs work CTS, 19.000 at Chrysler Corp. plant and 5000 at Packard. The guards struck in support of demands for IS minutes paid preparatory time.

S0vlETS TRY
 AT BLOCKING AIR SUPPLIES
Information on Flights 10 BIotkaded
 Berlin-RepIy Is No
tBy The Associated Prcss)


 American officials rejected curt | ly today a Russian attempt to re- strict the air lift supplying block aded Berlin.
 1 The Russians sent a formal note to the Four Power Berlin Air Saf- ety Center demanding from the- U. s. detailed prior notice on ev- cry flight made to Berlin. They asserted the data is needed "in the interests of safety" An American Air Force official said the safety rules are adequate and the real intent of the Russians was obviously another one of their efforts to get control of our flights into Berlin"
 The Russian move came after i the Soviets blamed the anti-C Com munist government of blockaded Berlin today for the mass protest meeting which led to Soviet gum play
 The Soviets hoisted the hainmer and sickle flag over the Branden- burg gate. where blood flowed last night after Berliners, shouting against Communism and the Rus- sian dictatorship, tore down the plain red flag.
 Shooting Last Night The protest meeting was just in- side the British zone, within a iniblick shot of the Soviet zone, The shooting occurred sftef the Germans stoned three Russian soldiers and then surged toward the Russian sector. One German was killed, p were injured and up to 90 were reported thrown into Soviet jails. Practically all the shooting seemed to be from the Russian zone.
 Taegliche Rundschau, official newspaper of the Russian military government, said the demonstra- tion-by far the largest in Berlin since the war--was expressly dedi- eated to arouse the people against the Soviet Union"
 Sen. Chan Gurney (R-SD), the chairman of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, saw the meet ing and said:
 It was the greatest mass pro- test I have ever seen to come from the people of their own free will"
 Allied sources said talks between the Military Governors to lift the blockade might break down com- pletely. They are now in recess.
 WASHINGTON---American off, cials said they see no chance of success at the Big Four meeting with Russia in Paris on Italy's col- onies. They foresaw the meeting as only a forum for more Russian vituperation against the U. S., Britain and France.
