HYDABURG
 (ANNERY I&
 DESTROYED
CooperativePIdnt Goes Up
 in Flames as Water
 Supply Goes Dry

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, July 9.-t P-The second costly fire of Southt east Alaskas current dry spell left the comparatively owned Hydaburg cannery a pile of smouldering emt bers early today.
 The cannery provides a major portion of the income of the Prince of Wales Islands two native com- munitieS. Damage was estimated at $l5O,00O.
 The fire started late yesterday in the cannery building but quickly spread to the $60,000 warehouse which was completed late last month. Both were destroyed.
 Failure of the towns water sys- tenn to work because of the pro- current dry spell allowed the flames to spread. Forty to 50 vol- unteers fought the blaze with diff culty, their only equipment being small bumper in the cannery which took salt water from the bay.
 Two Ellis Airlines pilots flew Forest Service portable bumpers and hose to the island from Ketch- ikan. They reported the buildings were completely aflame when they arrived
 Manager Herb Kittilsby said he believed the fire broke out in the walls of the cannery. Others ex- pressed belief it might have start ed from sparks from workers soldering iron beneath the cannery building
 Kittilsby said the loss was about two-thirds covered by insurance.
 Members of the Hydaburg Co., operative Association which oper- ated the cannery said they would ask the cannery at Waterfall near by, to handle their fish this sea- son. The Waterfall cannery is al ready packing the early Hydaburg run.
 Less than a month ago the Mac Donald Logging Company camp at nearby Nutkwa was destroyed by fire with damage of about $3O,000

WASHINGTON, July 9-tR-The year-old wage dispute that near ly tied up the nations railroad system is settled.
 The three strike threatening un- ions came to terms with the car- riers at the White House last night -
 But a new round of pay boost demands on behalf of all of the 1,250,0O0 railroad workers is just around the corner. Management officials look for that struggle to begin in earnest in September.
 However. the long procedure call- ed for by the Railway Labor Act will delay any possible new strike crisis for several months after that.
 In the meantime, the railroads will be back under private oper- ation.
 In announcing the settlement, the White House said the lines will be freed Of army control as soon as the necessary papers can be drawn.
 The Is unions all received a l51a -cent hourly increase last fall, but the three strike-t threatening Brotherhoods refused to settle for that amount without some changes in the operating rules. That is what they got in the peace plan proposed on Wednesday by Presi- dential Assistant John R. Steel man apd accepted by both sides last night.
 The government seized the rail- roads in May.

N Negotiate II Russia Lifis Blockade, U. }.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-tR-The United States has informed Russia that it is willing to negotiate issues in dispute over Berlin only on the condition that the Soviet blockade on the German capital is lifted
 The State Department made pub lie tonight the text of note which Secretary of State Marshall sent to the Soviet government Tuesday, declaring:
 Tt is intolerable that any one of the occupying authorities should attempt to impose blockade upon the people of Berlin.
 "The United States government is therefore obliged to insist that in accordance with existing agree ments the arrangements for the movement of freight and passenger traffic between the Western Zones and Berlin be fully restored.
 There can be no question of delay in the restoration of these essential services, since the needs of the civilian population in the Berlin area is imperative
 Britain and France sent sep arate notes to Moscow on Tuesday, at the same time as the U. S., protesting the blockade of Berlin. The blockade of Berlin by the Russians has been in effect three weeks, forcing the Western Powers to supply the 2,OO0,O00 Germans in their area by air.

ArmistiCe of Four Weeks Is Ended-Both Sides Start
 Renewal of Conflict
(By The Associated Press)

War returned to Palestine today on land and in the air.
 Within five hours after the four weeks armistice ended, lone plane, probably Egyptian, bombed northern Tel Aviv.
 Israel and Egypt reported scat tered combat, though apparently not a full scale offensive, in southern Palestine. Mortar and small arms fire were exchanged in Jerusalem. Northern Palestine appeared quiet.
 HAIFA-Count Foike Bernadotte, the U N Mediator, flew to Amman and talked for an hour with warrior King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan who commands five of the seven Arab armies arrayed against the Jewish state.
 Bernadotte said he proposed Jeru- salem be demilitarized and that he is hopeful. He had offered Abdullah the Arab parts of Palestine in a futile effort to retain the peace.
 The Israeli command said the Jews captured the villages of Belt Affa, Irag Suweidan and Ibdis from the Egyptian army. They are near Majdal, 28 miles south of Tel Aviv. The Jews acknowledged the loss of Kaukaha and Huleiqat. Their com- munique said 30 Egyptians were kill ed and many wounded in the wars renewal.
 Cleavage between the seven near by Arab nations and the Jews ap- peared as wide as ever over the establishment of the Jewish nation.

 WASHINGTON-Memor of an ex-Yugoslav resident: Stalin might have taken a leaf from an Amerl- can relief workers notebook before he embroidered the Red star on the Yugoslav patchwork quilt AS individuals, Yugoslavs are among the swellest people in the world, hut also the most difficult. Taken ensemble they are impossible Basically they are no more Com munist than Colonel Mccormick ar Tom Girdler and never will be especially the Serbs, Bosnians, Herzegovinians and Montenegrins
 Some of them like Tito be- cause they love to fight, and Tito is a swashbuckler who speaks their language For a thousand years the Yugoslavs-especially the Serbs have fought off wave after wave of Turkish invaders i. The plains of Kossovo and Macedonia in Southern Serbia are dotted with crimson poppies-reminders, so say the Serbs, of the blood spilled fighting the Turks Having finally liberated themselves from one conqueror, the Serbs aren't anxious for another conquest by Communism as this writer has so frequently pointed out.
 Will Tito die in bed?-About a year ago this crystal-gazer pre- dicted Tito would be assassinated before the year was up. The pre- diction was wrong. But it was based upon the certain knowledge that the trigger-happy dictator would have to change his tactics or die with his boots on Few kings of Yugoslavia in the past have died in bed. When they get unpopular they get bumped off Tito was getting unpopular with three sets of his own people 1. The Serbs, because he is a Croat; ?.

 Gives His Views
By JACK BELL

PHILADELPHIA, July 9-R- Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower gave a final and complete" refusal today to all efforts to draft him for the Democratic Presidential nomi- nation.
 T would refuse to accept the nomination Eisenhower said.
 That was in telegram to Sena- tor Claude Pepper of Florida Pepper said yesterday he would place the Generals name in nomi- nation at next weeks party con- vention if someone didn't beat him to it.
 Eisenhower called him off Pep per released the Generals telegram and said he would comply with the greatest reluctance with Eis- enhower's request that his name not be offered to the convention.
 It was the Generals third and most outspoken disavowal of any desire or intention to be pulled into this years political wars as the commander in chief of either major party.
 The release of Eisenliower's tele- gram made it necessary for party members who want to scuttle Tru- man to settle quickly on somebody else if they have any hopes at all of success.
 Several caucuses are scheduled for tomorrow to talk things over.

 Stop Truman" Drive
 In response to questions, Mo- Grath said that while he does not think the 'Stao- Truman" drive has been stopped, he thinks it has been detoured
 Tt is off Eisenhower Boulevard and on some side road McGrath said. T don't know just where it is at the moment"
 The National Chairman said he doesn't think that anybody in the Democratic convention will be so disrespectful as to present Gen. Eisenhower's name since he has said he could not accept nomina- ton for high political office"
 A reporter asked McGrath if he believed Senator Claude Pepper. of Florida, who has announced he will offer Eisenhower, would fail to do so.
 That goes for Senator Pepper or anybody else McGrath said. re- ferring to his previous statement. The National Chairman said he now sees little reason for the hold ing of an anti-Truman caucus call ed here for tomorrow night by
