Berlin AirIift Continues Quietly
After Soviet Gunnery Practice

hauled another 3,613 tons of supplies
into the city during the last "a hours.
Although an American Air Force
official said the Russians conducted
their antiaircraft drill for three and
half hours yesterday, no lift pilot
reported seeing any fax.
One flyer, however, did report see
ing a Soviet plane engaged in
ground to air fire. The Russians
posted a notice later in the day that
they were shifting from antiaircraft
to firing at ground targets.
The firing occurred at the Soviet
airfield at Dole, about rs miles west
of Berlin in the corridor leading to
Bueckeburg, which is the return
channel for all airlift planes.
The Americans and British had
protested that the announced Soviet
intention of firing to height of
10000 feet was dangerous and vio-
lation of corridor safety rules.
Several times in the past the Rus
slams have posted advance notice
of extensive air maneuvers in the
corridors and then apparently failed
to carry them out.
These tactics have been officially
interpreted as a nerve war" action
against the air lift.
Yesterdays notice, however. may
not have been a false alarm.
The Russians may well have car
ried out all the firing practice they
announced" said Capt. v. H. Goo
kin, United States representative at
the Air Safety Center. However
we instructed our pilots to swing
north within the 20-mile-wide cor
ridor to avoid the target area, which
is in the southern part of the lane

Seen { Continuing in 'H
By the Assoeiofed Press

Next year should be kind one
for your pocketbook, if a Govern
ment prediction works out.
Noting that personal incomes set
a record this year, the Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics reported yes
terday that 1949 incomes should be
just as high. And what is more,
the bureau foresaw q continued
boom in employment.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve
Board painted a rosy picture OF the
Nations farmers. Their buying
power this year. said the Reserve
Board, is more than twice what it
was before the war.
However. the agency added. in-
comes received by farmers who
operate small acreages have been
small, and 1t appears that sizeable
numbers of these farmers have been
taking industrial jobs"
1t estimated that 10 per cent fewer
persons were working on farms at
the end of 1947 than before the war,
while nonfarm population has risen
nearly 20 per cent since 1887.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics said personal incomes may
slip toward the end Of l949. but that
for the year as whole they will
eolal the 1948 record.
