to meet on the whole German ques-
ton.
The Security Council reconvenes
on the Berlin crisis tomorrow. Mr..
Bramuglia is said still to be hope
full that Russia would submit at
least some answers in writing 70
questions put to the Big Four by
the neutrals last week. Mr.. Vishin-
sky had charged that the neutrals
were setting a trap to make the
Soviet Union break its silence in
the Berlin discussions after vowing
not to take part in the debate.
The neutrals-Argentina, Colom-
hia, Belgium, Canada, China and
Syria-obviously aware that the
Berlin crisis could wreck the U. NJ,
are proceeding gingerly There still
was no indication whether a reso-
luton will be presented to the coun-
Gil tomorrow The neutrals were
said to be desirous of having all
possible information on the case at
hand before making any move.
Lewis w. Douglas, the United
States Ambassador to London, ar
rived to help the United States DR..
Philip c. Jessup prepare his answers
to the questions propounded Friday
by Mr.. Bramuglia and the other
Neutral delegates.
The Western powers previously
had rejected the idea of lifting of
the blockade simultaneously with
the currency compromise and the
convening of the foreign ministers.
They wanted the blockade lifted
before they would discuss Berlin or
Germany. But their interest in a
plan along these lines is said to be
increasing.

geant. Dependents cannot be taken
overseas.
Air Force men re-enlisting within
80 days of discharge automatically
receive their former grade. All men
accepted get an extra 20 per cent
pay for overseas duty.

move, the Navy announced a plan

doctors who have completed in
terneships in civilian hospitals. In

Thurman Arnold Says CAB
Fosters Airline MonopoIies
BY the Associoted Press


ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 18.-Thurman
w. Arnold said last night that tha
Civil Aeronautics Board should be
stripped of its power ito determine
who shall carry" airline passengers.
The CAB Ought to be restricted
to seeing that the airways are safe, ("
he said. He described CAB mem
bers as unconscious Socialists" who
are encouraging monopolies by re-
fusing to certify new and competing
airlines.
Mr.. Arnold. former chief of the
Antitrust Division Of the Justice De-
partment and now a Washington
lawyer, addressed about 200 students
of st. Johns College here.
He said the CAB members "be-
lieve it's great mistake to have too
many airlines" and thus are refus-
ing to grant certificates of public
convenience and necessity to veter-
ans.
THE CAB tells veterans they
can't start new airlines" because the
big transcontinental lines will 60
broke" Mr.. Arnold said. The exist
ing airlines don't want the veterans
to come In and fly the planes be-
cause they don't want to face a COM
petitive struggle"

ley. running in New Mexico against
former Secretary of Agriculture
Clinton P. Anderson. These listings
serve to show how easy it would be
to wind up this campaign with a
Senate evenly divided, or going one
way or another by a single vote.
Gov. Dewey made an urgent plea
to the people of Minnesota last
Friday to re-elect Senator Ball, de-
spite that fact that the Senator
came out against Gov. Dewey in
the 1914 Presidential race. This
demonstration of how far the Re-
publican standard bearer is willing
to 60 to achieve party harmony has
led some political observers aboard
his train to conclude that he would
not hesitate to 60 to West Virginia
if he thought it was in the best
interests of the party ticket as a
whole.
Gov. Dewey headed for Albany
after spending quiet Sunday with
his widowed mother, Mrs. George M
Dewey, 70, at her home in Owosso
Mich, yesterday.
He attended services yesterday
morning in Christ Episcopal
Church, where he sang in the choir
as boy, then he and Mrs. Dewey
spent the remainder of the day at
his mothers house, receiving best
wishes OF her neighbors. Through
out the day residents of OwoSso
strolled by the house, and several
times Gov. Dewey came out on the
porch to wave a greeting to groups
that gathered on the sidewalk.
After church the Deweys returned
to the white frame home of his
mother at 421 West Oliver street A
little later they sat down to din
ner which the elder Mrs. Dewey pre-
pared with the help of her maid
On the menu were tomato juice,
turkey, mashed potatoes, squash,
carrots, olives, mince pie - Gov.
Dewey's favorite-and coffee.
Gov. Dewey also had on his sched-
ule today a phone call to his vice
presidential running mate, Gov.
Warren of California. Gov. War
rem was back in his home State in
Sacramento after a month-long
campaign tour. And still another
call on the list was from the Gov
ernor's wife to her parents in Sa-
pulpa, Okla, where the Deweys Wis
tied briefly last week.
