Russias pleasure. set up today a separate government for block aded Berlin. It is opposed to the elected anti-communist govern ment which will hold elections in Western Berlin Sunday despite communist and Russian boycotts.
 The communist action virtually completed the division of the city just when hope arose for a solu- tion in hte United Nations of a blockade the Russians imposed last June.
 The Reds set up their govern ment" at a rally called for what was termed decisive measures for the protection of united Berlin" They elected their own mayor, Friedrich Ebert, 54, namesake of the first German president under the Weimar republic. Then they elected magistrate for the city giving places to men long since disowned by other parties.
 Argentine foreign minister Juan Bramuglia got Russian acceptance to a compromise Berlin plan pro- viding for neutral commission of experts to handle technical and ! procedural phases of the conflict. The blockade itself and Russian in siStence that only Soviet-backed currency circulate in Berlin are the main issues. The western pow CTS accepted in principle.
 American, British and French military governors tried in Frank furt to settle differences over the occupation statute which will show how much power the western German government is to have. French fear of strong Germany is the main obstacle.
 Chinese communists trapped about 140,000 nationalist troops 145 miles northwest of Nanking, greatly increasing the peril to the capital. Beyond the encircled 18th army group, there is little to stop the communists short of the Yang tze river bank opposite Nanking. The U. s. embassy said naval planes will start evacuating Amer ican dependents from the city.
 Mrs. Chiang Kai-Shek flew on toward Washington with an urgent appeal for more help. Her recep- ton is expected to be polite but chilly.
 Britain dropped her insistence in the U. N. that Israel give up the Negev derest of southern Pales- tine. A spokesman said the British position is close to the American. France appeared to hold the de- ciding vote in the security coun- cil over IsraePs p lea for member ship.
 French diplomats said the west ern European Union countries want the projected 50-year North Atlantic Defense Pact with the U. s. and Canada to be political, so- cia Ian dcultural treaty as well as military. Negotitions start shortly in Washington.
 A Jesuit priest returning to Ger many from the Soviet Union said Russia has a plan to persecute the leaders. Josef Cardinal Facings vounched for the story of the Rev.

to a CHS microphone on Tuesday
night to give the wrong answers to
two out of four questions and win
chance at $4,000 jackpot, which
she promptly knocked off.

feat on a program called Hit the

Units, by Color Of Occupations"
This report was the second on
housing to be based on the bu-
reau's Survey of Population, Land
Labor Force, and Housing" con-
Quoted last April. The first report,
presented data for urban and ru-
raj areas.
The rise in home ownership
maong non-white households was
attributed largely to the urge for
home ownership, high employment
level and the comparatively high
earnings of Negro workers.
In addition, the report shows
there was an increase of about a
half million in the number of
dwelling units occupied by nom
white households, but that ap-
proximately one out of every four
dwellings was in need of major
repairs.
The survey covered about 3d.
600 households in 148 sample
areas in A states and the Dis
trict of Columbia. Each rea con-
sisted of one or more counties or
parts of counties.

From where we sit it'll ooks like

Negrol eaders did nothing, many
Negroes became disgruntled at
the deplorable living conditions on
