They contend that the Dewey

strange things happen in the world
of politics and entertainment. The
old saying, "Never count the gross

vice.
Many a show has clicked despite

there's no business as uncer-

election business, and you new
er can tell.
Harry Truman emerged from the
Democratic convention as the most
dignifed, gamest and most appeal
ing figure, thanks to the quaint con-
duct of the opposition. He won
sympathy just as a theater straw
wins it when the rest Of the cast
tries to give him the works and
even the stagehands drop sand bags
from the flies. You can't dislike
him any more than you could dis
like Denman Thompson in 1.-The
Old Homestead.
He was called on four years age
to step into a leading part played
to the hilt for IL years by one o.
the greatest matinee idols, all
around showmen and top scene
stealers of all time. Could Citation
have succeeded the leading man in
'.Three Men on a Horse?" We ask
you!
Harry was the pitcher called
in when the bases were full, the
fighter sent in for the emer-
gency bout and the pianist
called to substitute for the Tos-
canini orchestra. He never
knew whether he was acting as
president or being used as
floating target.
And on top of all that, the law
of averages, the turn of the Wheel
the theory of cycles and the human
desire for a change in billing all
worked against him. Even people
who had been for tarring and
feathering all Republicans for
years began wanting to trade IN
the old model for something new
The Republicans. farther north

thawing on the wings. And now
there is every indication that they

Berlin Red Predicts
|City's Regime Will
Fall 10 Pieces Soon
BY the As$ocioted Press

BERLIN, Oct. IA Commu-
mist spokesman predicted last
night that Berlin's central gov
eminent, last link between the
Eastern and Western sectors Of
the divided city, would fall to
pieces soon.
The spokesman, Karl Maron, made
this prediction a few hours after
a clash between Communists and
non Communists of the city's
Magistrat Executive department).
A Communist official who was
fired by the city government last
week attended session in the
meeting hall yesterday. The hall is
in the Soviet sector. When the
official, Waldemar Schmidt, chief
of the city labor department. re-
fused to leave, the non-C Communist
members walked out and resumed
their meeting in q British sector
building. Schmidt and two other
Communist Magistrat members re-
manned in the Soviet sector hall.
Split Expected to Follow.
Later, Maron asserted: "The COM
.plete splitup of the Berlin city gov
ernment will in all probability fol-
low"
The city's assembly, or legislative
council, already has split up. The
anti Communist members now meet
in the British sector, where the
Communist members refuse to join
them. The anti-Communists moved
out after the violent demonstra-
tions late in August.
The Soviet-controlled Berlin ra-
dio announced that Maj. Gen. Alex
ander Kotikov, Soviet commandant,
met with German politicians of the
Eastern sector and discussed food
and coal prospects. 1t said Gen.
Kotikov asserted again that the Rus
slams were prepared to supply the
entire city through the winter.
Up to now only l per cent Of
Western zone Berliners have reg
istered with the Soviets for such
supplies.
Air Lift Halted : Hours.
The British-American airlift re-
sumed operations at midmmning
today after an interruption Of about
seven hours because of fog.
1t. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith,
American Ambassador to Moscow,
has decided to remain ia Berlin an
other day in his trip back from
Paris. He is expected to leave here
early tomorrow.
The clearing weather also brought
another Soviet announcement Of
gunnery drills in the air corridor.
The Soviets posted warnings Of
ground-to-air drills In the Buecke-
burg corridor and air-to-air firing
in the Hamburg corridor.

Supervisors Delayed.
DR.. Bunche had told the Council
that truce supervisors sometimes
were delayed so much as to make
their inquiries worthless. He said
they also were targets of snipers

Haywood Sees Little Hope
In Pacific Ship Tieup

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. IA R.-
Prospects OF an early end to the
43-day West Coast maritime strike
. are mot too hopeful" but there is
a chance, says Allan S. Haywood
national CIO organizing director
Mr.. Haywood met yesterday with
four employer representatives to
offer an agreement underwritten by
the national CIO to end the strike
Employers had said they would not
deal with what they termed cir
responsible" union leaders.
! John Cushing, president Of the
Matson Navigation Co. and spokes-
man for the employer committee,
warned that no sudden finish to
the waterfront struggle was in sight.
II don't think it will move fast"
he said. THE thing is wide open.
: We're subject to call at another
meeting"
Mr.. Haywood said Harry Bridges,
president TO the CIO Longshore-
men, had agreed to the proposal for
: a CIO-underwirtten contract. There
was no comment from Mr.. Bridges.
Union strike committees of Seat
tie and San Francisco, however, an
nounced they voted against au-
thorizing outside" representatives
to underwrite an agreement.
The employers have refused to
deal with union leaders who have
not signed non-Communist affi-
davits. Neither Mr.. Bridges nor
Hugh Bryson, president of the CIO
cooks and stewards, has done SO.
The Longshoremen and four sea-
faring unions are on strike. The
longshoremen demanded a 15-cent
pay increase to $1.82 an. hour.

Mrs. Roosevelt Urges Courtesy

Later, Mrs. Roosevelt spoke briefly
on minor matter of wording in the
committees debate on a proposed
U. N. declaration Of human rights.
Then, turning to Dedijer she said !:
mo one can claim that they or
their country is entirely perfect. We
have heard many declarations that
certain countries are perfect, but
this obviously cannot be true.
Certain ideas expressed here are
to extreme. We should all acknowl-
edge our faults and then say hon
estly that we are trying to over
come them"
The committee finally approved in
principle Article II Of the proposed
declaration stating:
Every one is entitled to all the
rights and freedoms set forth in this
declaration, without distinction Of
any kind, such as race. color, sex,
language, religion, political or other
opinion, property or other status,

mented Immediately on the decision
A spokesman for the publishers said
they had not yet had an opportunity
to study it.
Chicago's five daily newspapers
have been published by a photo-en-
craving process since about 1900
union printers walked of the job in
a contract dispute, November "a,
1947.
Negotiations have been held inter-
mittently since then, but there have
been no indications that a settle
ment is near. The last revised pro-
posal Of the publishers was rejected
by the union, September Is. The
publishers proposal for binding arbi-
tration also had been rejected by the
urion.
A spokesman for the publishers
said he expected" that the union
would request a new bargaining ses-
sion, in view Of the contempt ruling.
Because the walkout of printers
last November had been FORE
shadowed, Chicagos five newspapers
The Tribune, News, Herald-Amer-
ican, Sum- Times and Journal Of
Commerce-were prepared to con-
tinue publication by photo-engrav-
ing methods.
Arthur Lett, trial examiner for
the National Labor Relations Board,
held in August that the ITU and
its Chicago local had failed to bar
gain in good faith with the Chicago
newspaper publishers. He held that
the union had insisted on the illegal
closed shop.

acknowledged by the "Fatherland
Front" an arm of the Stern Gang.
He said the Sternists had carried
on campaign against the mediator

On visit to Jerusalem week

Bernadotte was plcketed by young
men. and women of the Stern
Gang" DR.. Bunche said. He went

Their jeep carried a sign which
said, Stockholm is yours, Jeru-

vain. We are here"
DR.. Bunche said Israeli Foreign
Minister Moshe Shertok has told
him of arrests made and of meas
ures taken by Israel against terrorist
groups, but not of the investigation
proper.
The Israeli representative, Aubrey
