INTERN'L NEWS REPORTED BY ASSO. PRESS
INTERNATIONAL. By the Associated Press
 BERLIN

The US, Britain and France were reported by British govern ment sources today to have draft ed a demand to the Kremlin that Russia lift her land blockade of Berlin and to restore four power rule to the city.
 The note was said to place all responsibility on Russia if starvation tactics continue. The demand possibly will reach Mos cow this weekend after foreign ministers of the three western powers approve.
 In Berlin, itself, it was an- nounced that the Russians killed the Allied Kommandatura, through which the four occupation powers operated the Berlin city govern ment. The Soviets walked out. A British spokesman said they blamed Col. Frank Howley, the US. Commander in Berlin, and the introduction of Western currency into the city.
 The Russians hinted vaguely they might open the highway to the west. They had indicated the day before that train service to the west might be restored be- fore the 100000 German charges of the west in Berlin start starv- ing. They allowed train to run to the west on a sideline, but not back to Berlin.
 More than 200 US. and Brit ish planes ferried food into Der lin.' The US. was assembling huge planes from the world over to increase the air flow.

WASHINGTON, - (PD The United States demanded in Jan uary, it was disclosed today, that Russia return immediately 28 na- val frigateS and three ice breakers 'lend-leased" to the Soviets dur ing the war. The ships still have not been returned.

Dorothy Garrell
Ranks High In
National Contest

Dorothy Carroll, a member of
the Tabor City High School
senior class, has recently been
notified that she rated high in
the National Pepsi Cola con-
test given in November to the
highest ten per cent in each
senior class in the nation. Her
rating in the state was some
what higher than her national
rating as a whole.
Rebecca Spivey, another SEN
ior, received a rating slightly
lower than Dorothy's.
This contest, which is entered
each year by seniors having
the highest scholastic averages
in their respective schools gives
a fair basis for comparisons.
In North Carolina 1872 stu
dents participated in the exam
ination and in the nation there
were $4,000 participants.

ity: what might even appear to
some as dishonesty. Why not
state editorially that due to high
cost it is necessary to have ad-
vertlSlng constitute about three
quarters of each iSsue-if that
is so, and | wonder. also Won

couldn't be raised to cover the

centage OF information given IN

fectively presented in much less

honest about the thing and quit
beating about the bush. And
please lay off the Syndicated
nonsense particularly when you
have to publish it at the expense

hope it will reappear soon.
