Federal Employees Are Walking Up 10
 Work; No Elevator

The government workers in the Federal Building are getting quite a lot of exercise these days. The elevators are out of commission and 1t is the 'shanks mare" that is carrying the weary workers up the five flights of stairs.
 A disheartened mechanic, who is working on the repair job, said that it is only one small wire that is hroken-but there are about two miles of wire that have to be checked before the trouble can be located.

Big Powers May Gel
 Decision This Week,
 International Talks
(By The Associated Press,

Diplomats in Moscow we're at the fought bargaining stage today in an effort to end the Berlin block ade and ease the cold war between Russia and the West.
 Frank Roberts, the British en- voy hinted that decision woul6 come this week. A fourth meeting in ten days between Foreign Min ister Molotov and the diplomats of the U. S., Britain and France ap- peared in prospect. No positive news came from the four capitals and it was impossible to tell from the vague hints dropped here and there whether success or failure is in the offing.
 The Russians said they had massed enough food in Berlin to iced all the city for 40 days. Con- plaints of hunger mounted from the surrounding Soviet zone. A. Miller, member of the State Parlia- ment in the Russian state of Sax ony-Anhalt, wrote in Russian in Berlin:
 We have bitter need for im- provement of our food ration be- cause our physical reserves have long been spent. Illnesses last long and our abilities to produce are impaired
 Berlin Fuel Shortage
 Another Russian newspaper in the city the soviets blockaded sug- gested the squeeze is hurting the Russians. Fuel shortages have clos ed many facorites in the Western sectors and Neues Deutschland said the Western factory output is "urg- ently' needed in the Soviet sector.
 U. s. and British authorities have flown in three weeks reserve of food Tor the 100000 or more Ber- liners hl the Western zones. They prepared to keep the air bridge op- en all winter if the blockade con- tinues. Doubtless there will be much suffering for lack of coal, however.
 Other Berlin Activities
 The British prepared protest to Russia over the flight of F Yak fighters over their Gatow air port in the city. American troops will take part next week in French army maneuvers in Germany
 Belgium signed trade agree ment with the American British zone of Germany. The Com munist police of Berlin arrested the ninth policeman from the Western zones.
 Vote Down II. s.
 The Communist bloc of Eastern Europe voted down second Amer ican effort to ensure free naviga- tion of the Danube. The Belgrade conference then started adopting the Russian draft convention.
 Russia rejected i'll the United Nations an American proposal to give Trieste back to Italy The Sov- jets supported a Yugoslav asser- tion that the U. s. and Britain had violated the Italian peace treaty.
 Premier Andre Marie won a third victory in France when the Cham Der of Deputies approved, over Communist objection, his finan- cial reform bill allowing the goy- ernment to raise or lower taxes.
 The Greek Army captured Ale- vitsa Slope, one of the toughest of the shrinking Com munist insurgents. Britain flew head hunters from the Borneo to Malaya to help track down Com munists who are trying to take over.

By the Associoted Press

of supporters of the Inter American
Labor Conference in the Plaza San

Federation of Labor and the

The police managed to clear a
path for the anti-conference forces,
although these were relatively few,
and some of the opponents of the
meeting made speeches while thou
sands of conference supporters
jeered them.
Aprista Party members had taken
up strategic positions in large num-
bers at corners of streets leading
to the big plaza, and effectively
blocked the way of the anti-confer-
ence forces before police charged in
Some of the Apristas attempted
to fight police with stones, but
were dispersed
The Aprista newspaper, La Tri-
buna, said first aid stations were
jammed with persons who suffered
injuries when the police hurled teal
gas bombs and used clubs ano
sabers against citizens who peace
