French Destroy Soviet's Berlin
Radio Towers AS Airlift Menace

Berlin, Dec. 16-(F- The
French today blew up the tow
ers of the Soviet-controlled rad
10 Berlin, knocking the station
off the air.
The Russians, however, have
another tower outlet, Ger
many's old Deutschland sender,
20 miles east Of the city.
Brig. Gen. Jean Ganeval,
French military commander in
Berlin, said the two towers
were demolished by French
forces this morning. The radio
was not on the air at the time.
Ganeval said he was compell-
ed to destroy the towers be-
cause they were "a very great
danger" to allied airlift planes
coming in by radar to the new
legal field in the French sec
tor. The towers were near the
field.
The French commander said
he had notified the Berlin radio
station management on Nov. 20
that the demolition would take
place today in order to allow
the management time to
arrange new installations in
another sector.
German postal authorities
said the French not only blew
up the radio towers, but also
the control installations for the
towers.
Demolishing the towers eli
NAKED a long four-poweg dis
pute over radio Berlin.
The radio station itself is To-
Gated in the British sector. The
Russians have successfully re-
sisted British efforts to force
them from the station, which
they took over when Berlin fell.
When the western powers
came to Berlin the Russians
insisted they retain control OF
the radio station, saying it was
their only broadcast outlet to
the Soviet zone.
The Russians posted armed
soldiers at entrances to the
building and no one was allowed
in without special pass. 9
As the east-west position
worsened in Berlin the British
were urged by the other west
ern powers to take over the sta
ton which broadcast long trad
es against the western allies.

Scott Warns Telephone Companies
They Must Service The Rural Areas

Raleigh, Dec. 16-(AP)-A re-
vocation of franchises was
threatened yesterday by Cover
nor-elect Kerr Scott if telephone
companies don't get telephones
to the people,"
Scott sounded the warning as
a guest speaker before a meet
ing of the N. C. Citizens As
sociation. The associations mem
bers also took a verbal cutting.
|, Scott declared: 81 see we have
telephone company representa-
tives here today. If you can't
get telephones to the people I'll
join in with others, using any
powers I have as Governor to
see that something is done about
it.
"If it takes reorganization of
the utilities commission, I'll try
that, too. Rural areas need tele-
phones, and I'm going to 60 to
work to see that they get them.
see that we have represen-
tatives of power companies here
today, too" Scott continued. If
they had had the vision of the
founder of Duke Power Company
we would not have had any need
for the read today. Remember
that"
The Tax-Conscious Citizens or
ganization, organized six years
ago, is composed mainly of big
businessmen interested in hold
ing down taxes. Scott said "your
organization and your magazine,
We the People," are sometimes
called we the people against the
people -.
Scott asserted that high fran
chise taxes are not keeping in
dustry from the state. The bot
tleneck, he declared, is lack of
labor.

Spy Probers
Promise New
Sensations

Washington, Dec. 16-P)-
Congressional spy hunters today
promised new and up-to-the-
minute sensations, now that the
celebrated Hiss Chambers case
shifts from Capitol Hill to a
Federal court room.
Yesterdays Federal grand jury
indictment of Alger Hiss, former
high State Department official,
on two counts of lying under
oath satisfied the House Un-
American Activities committee
that it has nailed down evidence
Of pre-war Soviet espionage
ring.
Now the committee intends to
prove, members insist, that Red
spying still is going on in the
government.
They claim that a man still
working for the Army as a civil
ian stole secrets of the famous
Norden bomb sight and passed
them along to Russia in 1898.
In the grand jury indictment
handed down in New York Hiss
was accused of having sworn
falsely (a) that he did not give
secret State Department papers
to Whitaker Chambers a de-
cade ago and (b.. that he did
no. talk to the confessed for
mer Communist spy ring courier
during February and March of
1898.

Communists At
Out Skirts OF
Peiping City

Nanking-P)-This Chinese
capital was stunned today by
news that the Governments
commander in the north has al
lowed the Communists to reach
Peiping's walls.
Chang Kai-Shek's military
propagandists and other quar-
ters had promised that Gen. Flu
Tso-Yi would defend the entire
Peiping- -Tientsin area indefinite
ly.
Most observers here expressed
belief that some understanding
was being negotiated between
the Reds and General Fu-
which would be almost certain
to speed the situation in Nank-
ing to a climax.
President Chiang's top ad-
visors already have urged him
to quit and let others try to
talk peace with the Communists.
Officials seeking an acceptable
cabinet for the new premier,
Sun Fo, are watching the Peip-
ing situation anxiously.
The communications ministry
reported that the telegraphic
link with Peiping remains nor
NAL. The official Central Daily
News said the communists cut
off Peiping's power and water
supply upon reaching Shihching-
san, west of the city, but that
emergency power plants inside
Peiping later restored electricity

Grand Jury To
See Microfilms
>Of Spy Papers

New York, Dec. 16-(-AP)-A
federal grand jury has indicted
Alger Hiss for perjury, accus-
ing hicm of lying when he denied
he gave secret government pap.
ers to ex-Communist Agent
Whitaker Chambers.
The action last night climaxed
= jury probe of espionage.
~ Hiss, 44-year-old former high.
ranking policy adviser in the
State Department, was charg-
ed on two perjury counts. Maxi
mum penalty on each is $2,.
900 fine and five years impri-
sonment.
The indictment said Hiss
"unlawfully, knowingly and
wilfully' swore falsely thst (a)
he did not slip confidential State
chambers, and (b) that he did
no talk to Chambers in Febru.
ary and March, 1898.
Chambers is a confessed pre-
war courier of Red intelligence
Prosecuting attorneys said
Hiss, now on a paid leave OF
absence from a $2O,OO0-a-year
post as head of the Carnegie
Endowment for Internation-
al Peace, probably will be ar
raigned today or tomorrow.
= Following his indictment, Hiss
issued this statement through
his attorney:
my testimony before the
grand jury was entirely truth
full"
Chambers, formerly Time
Magazine senior editor, first
accused Hiss of supplying. him
with secret government data for
transmittal to Russian agents
an testimony before the House
'Un-American activities commit
tee. Hiss has made repeated
denials.
The indictment came at the
end of the grand jury's 49,
months term.
Attorney General Tom Clark
said in New York that he
thought Hiss would be brought
to trial in January.
