BLOCKADE
 IS STILL
 BIG ISSUE
Biq Five Powers Favor Peaceful SoIution-Neu- tra| Plan !s Suggested
lBy The Assoclated Pressl

The Big Five powers pledged themselves today in favor of peace ful settlement of their differences.
 It remained to be seen tomorrow. when the Berlin blockade debate is resumed, whether the action was more than words. The Big Five are the United States, Russia, Britain, France and China. They agreed to a Mexican resolution to that effect in the United Nations Political Committee.
 Informed sources said there is a slim chance at least that the six smaller powers on the Security Council will be able to bring Rus sia and the Western powers to a solution of the Berlin crisis. One neutral source said Deputy For eign Ministed Andrei Vishingsky of Russia had given conditional ap- proyal to neutral plan for solv- ing the Berlin issue. An Ameri- can spokesman said the plan is acceptable and satisfactory.
 The plan is said to appeal to the United States, Britain, France and Russia to make no move that would lead to war; call to Rus sia to lift the blockade. the Four Powers to put into effect the ten- tative Moscow accord which would have made the Russian-sponsored marks the sole Berlin currency and the Foreign Ministers Council to meet afterwards on all German problems. The Russians frightened the blockade little more with railway restrictions.

 Jackson, who held the second oi two conferences with E. L. Bartlett Alaska Delegate in Congress. here today, said:
 Delegate Bartlett. as the Con- gressional representative of the Territory of Alaska, does not have vote in Congress but he has a voice which must be heard.

 Jackson is a member of 10th the House Appropriations Committed and of the Interior Department sub- committee which controls Alaska funds.
 "A glance at the world globe he said, shows how vulnerable this country will be if Alaska ever i; invaded by enemy troops from the Polar Airfields. We charged oul military forces with protecting u: not only against probabilities but against possibilities and Alaska today, is full of potential threats.
 My purpose in visiting the Ter ritory will be to determine the ex- act nature of those threats and how the responsible military people there think current dangers may best be met
 Bartlett, who leaves for his home in Juneau today, will accompany Jackson on some of the congress mans trips in Alaska.

 of StrdngIehoId
(By The Associated Press)

Russia has ruled out Berlin city election for December 5, by imposing conditions These included withdrawal of Western currency, the erasure of on-communist leaders from the ballot, and purge of the anti-communist press and antl- communist labor unions.

 More hard words about Russia were voiced by Premier Paul-Henrl Spaak of Belgium.
