Paris. Oct. 6-(P)-Ameri-
can. British and French U. N.
Security Council leaders met
late today to hammer out a re-
solution calling on Russia to
end the Berlin blockade. a
British official reported.
Paris, Oct. 6-(P)-The United
States, Britain and France in
turn charged before the United
Nations Security Council today
that Russia is endangerins
world peace by blockading Ber-
lin.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minis
ter Andrei Vishinsky, who an
nounced yesterday Soviet boy
colt of the debate, sat silently
in both the morning and after
noon council sessions. He was at
times interested, rapidly jotting
notes. At other times he appear
ed grim or bored.
The old prosecutor gave no
hint whether he would join the
debate at some later session.
He commended yesterday there is
no blockade; that the Security
Council is incompetent to settle
the matter; and that only the
foreign ministers council can
solve German problems until a
peace treaty is written.
Philip c. Jessup, a Columbia
University professor, led the
vests assault by declaring the
United States has made every eff
fort to agree with Russia and
remove the threat to the peace
which has been created by the
Soviet Union and which, until
it remains, is the insuperable
obstacle to free negotiations"
Sir Alexander Cadogan of
Britain charged in the afternoon
session:
1.-THE Soviet Union has resort
ed to illegal and forcible meas
ures in order to assert its will
in Berlin. This is some thing
what can not be justified"
Then Alexandra Parodi of
France took the floor and told
the council Russia alone bears
direct responsibility for the dan
gerous situation created in Ber-
lin"
When he finished, Argentina's
Foreign Minister Juan Bran
uglia, presiding. said no sother
speakers were listed and he in
tended to adjourn the council
during an intermediary waiting
period until a further meeting is
called by the president.
Vishinsky then took off his
earphones with :. grin and gath
cred up his papers to leave. The
council adjourned at 4:25 p. m.
10:25 A. M. EST and no date
was set for the next meeting.
Should the council try to take
action against Russia, a Soviet
veto is expected.

Ordinance Passed Stops
Hitch Hikers In City;
Taxi Rule Is Considered

Roanoke Rapids city Commiss
toner's yesterday forbade hitch
mixers the use of the city's street
as a base Of operations for their
activity by passing an ordinance
making it illegal for hitch mixers
to stand in the streets and thumb
passing motorists.
Police Chief T. J. Davis app
cared before the regular meet
ing Of the board and asked that
something be done to get people
out of the streets to cut down
on the danger of someone's being
killed or injured. He said the
police have tried to get rid of
the ride thumbing but said they
have nothing to back up their
requests. Major w. Bernard All
sbrook said he believes a state
statue is in effect forbidding this
practice, but the Commissioners
said they thought it would be
wise to have such an ordinance
Oil' tlle city DOOkS.
Another ordinance was passed
in the meeting prohibiting the
sale Of ice cream and ice cream
products from motor scooters
without the vender's having re
ceived permit approved by
the city health officer, DR.. j. H.
Cutchin, Jr., This ordinance was
adopted as a measure Of public
safety.
In prolonged discussion re-
garding the fixing of an ordin-
ance regulating the operation of
taxicabs in the city, the Board
decided to work out such an ordi
nance patterned on one adopted
this year by the city of Durham,
copy of which was made avail
able to the Board. The Comm
issioners approved the immedi
ate reicensing of a number of
the cab operators and requested
that Chief Davis make an inves-
tigation of others and report
his findings at the next meeting
of the board. The reissuance of
taxi licenses in the city has been
held up since July pending action
by the Board.
Major Allsbrook reported that
he had received a letter from the
solicitor of the office of the Post
master General to the effect that
there is no such thing as list
of publications barred from the
us. mails except for specific
issues Of certain publications.
The mayor said he had written
for such list in order to pro
hibit the sale of such magazines,
especially comic books, from the
local newsstand shelves if they
were not acceptable to the US.
mails.
Actually there is nothing we
can do about getting rid of these
comic books" Mayor Allsbrook
told the Board members.
The Mayor said that the city
has fund of about $26, 900 in
surplus street assessments and
said the money IS now lying idle.
He pointed out that the Local
Government Commission had in
formed him that such money
could be invested in building and
loan, and said local building and
loan agencies had agreed to ac-
cept $4,000 of the funds if the
Commissioners approved. They
passes a motion approving the
investment of the money
Immediately.
The Board discussed the pro-
gress Of work on the streets,
which has been delayed because
of the heavy rains and completed
other routine business.
Following the regular meeting
the Mayor and Commissioners
remained for a short executive
session.
