TRUMAN, Sept. 24.-Openly ad-
mitting his concern about nor
NAL Democratic voters still on
the fence or leaning toward
Henry A. Wallace's third party
candidacy, President Truman
was campaigning today among
Southern California industrial
workers with the plea they
should not waste their votes on
an organization which is power
less to bring peace to the world
or improve conditions in this
country.
, For the first time since he began
his transcontinental tour, the Presi-
dent brought up the threat to his
candidacy represented by the Wal
lace movement. Although he declared
that the Communists were guiding
and using the Third Party, he
addressed himself to those people
with TRUE liberal convictions whose
worry over the state of the world
has caused them to lean forward
the Wallace movement. ~

u. ). Protests Soviet
Plans for High-Firing
Practice in Air Lane
Russians Promise to Take
Precautions Only for
Their Own Aircraft
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Sept. 24.-Russian
antiaircraft gunners plan to fire
dangerously high" in practice
today in the Americana British
airlift corridor to blockaded Ber-
lin, the Americans charged in a
protest.
The Russians also announced they
would conduct bombing and fighter
firing practice in the corridor, the
Americans said. Asked what pre-
cautions they would take to protect
traffic, the Russians said that when
their own planes appeared, they
would stop shooting.
In another development Of the
battle for Berlin, the American Mill
tary Government banned all Soviet
sponsored newspapers and other
publications from the American
zone of Germany. This was in re-
prisal for Soviet banning of West
ern- Licensed publications in the So
Wet zone and the Russian sector of
Berlin.
Russians Post Notice.
Capt. V. H. Gookin of Quincy
Mass, chief American representative
at the four-power Berlin air safety
center, said the Russians posted a
notice there that they intended to
conduct antiaircraft firing practice
for seven hours today in the Buecke-
burg corridor.
The corridor is used by all Ameri-
can and British planes on air supply
runs to Berlin. The Russians an
nounced they would fire up to 10000
feet near Dole airport, about
25 miles west of Berlin.
II objected that this was danger
ously high range" Capt. Gookin
said, "and asked the Russians what
protective measures they were TAX
ing for their own air traffic going
between here and Paris for the
United Nations sessions. The Rus
sian representative answered that
when their own traffic came along
we will stop shooting"
Air Ground Practice Planned.
Later, Capt Gookin said, the Rus
slams reported they were also in
tending to hold Underground prac-
tice. This would include diving fire
by aircraft at targets and possibly
bombing practice. These operations
also were scheduled at Dole, along
the Corridor.
The Americans protested to the
Russians yesterday against stunt
