Russians Arrest Police In U. $.
 Sector Of Berlin
(BY Wes Gallagher)

BERLIN,f R Russian mili- tary police and German police un- der their control invaded the American sector of blockaded Berlin today on a black market raid and seized five German po- lice belonging to U. s. sector forces.
 An American military govern ment official said the action clearly violated U. s. jurisdiction.
 It was the second Russian backed raid near the city zonal borders during the day. ,
 Earlier Russian M.P.'s and com- munist-controlled German police raided downtown Potsd m r Platz, where the American, Rus sian and British zones meet, and arrested about 600 Germans with out violence. This contrasted to an operation last evening when Germans stoned the communist police, who responded with gun fire which wounded five civilians.
 The Russian group arrested about 600 Germans in all. The police riding in open trucks. were escorted by Soviet army tommy gunners in American-made jeeps.

Airplane Fares To Be Raised

WASHINGTON, (P) - A ten per cent airlines fare boost is coming soon-with the added prospect that free meals in flight will be ended.
 Present fares average about 5.5 cents a mile. The new rate of just over six cents will be the highest in nearly IS years. It will take effect either in September or Oc- tober, depending on when all the paper work can be completed.
 That outlook is the result of a precedent-setting conference call ed by the civil aeronautics board to talk over the industry's finan- cial crisis.

U. N. Warns Both Jews And Arabs

LAKE SUCCESS, (P) - The United Nations warned both Jews and Arabs today to avoid further violations of the month-old Pales- tine truce.
 Responding to fears expressed by the Palestine mediator, Count Folke Bernadotte, that the situa- ton in Jerusalem was gradually getting out of hand," the security council voted the warning last night.
 It was almost the last item of business before the council ad- journed for what it hopes will be a month-long recess prior to re- converting in Paris.
 The warning was given in a resolution advanced jointly by the United States, Britain, Can ada and France. No delegate voted against the proposal, but Russia, the Soviet Ukraine, Syria and Colombia abstained on some sections in a point-by-point vote.
 The council told the Jews and Arabs they are responsible and told them to see that their own offenders are punished and to re- frain from undertaking reprisals or retaliationS.

Continued from Page One) three, the note said, wanted to stay in this country.
 While recognizing the right of Soviet officials to protect its na- tionals in this country, the note said, they also are entitled to the protection of the applicable laws of the United States"
 Declaring this government will not turn Mrs. Kosenkina over to Russian authorities against hef will, the note said:
 "The government of the United States cannot permit the exercise within the United States of police power of any foreign govern ment."
 Presidential press secretary Charles G. Ross told reporters "the whole thing was done under the Presidents orders"
 Ross first said MT. Truman would sign the revocation of the consul's credentials shortly. Later, however. he said the signing would be delayed several days in order to give Lomakin time to close out his official duties.
 The state department told Sov- jet ambassador Alexander s. Pan yushkin and his government that the Russian charges, including some by Soviet foreign minister Molotov, "have been based upon transformation"
 Moreover, the department told the Soviets in effect that the U. $. government holds consul general Jacob M. Lomakin in New York responsible for this misinforma. ton. He was accused of an 'abuse' of his position and "gross viola tion" of proper conduct of for eign officials.
 As a result, the note said, the State department is requesting" President Truman to revoke ere dentials granted to Lomakin by this country and wants him to leave the United States within a reasonable time"
 The note was not signed by either secretary of state Marshall of undersecretary of state Robert Lovett although both took hand in it's preparation. It was signed simply Department of State" and bore the initial "L," presum- ably meaning Lovett.

Miller IN avor
undermining Plan
0f Road Buildinu

On the eve of his departure for
Olympia to serve the 10th Legis-
lative District, c. c. "Cy" Miller
sees the plans being worked out
by the Legislatures joint fact
finding committee on highways,
streets, and bridges, as a distinct
step in the right direction.
GAS nearly as L can judge from
my contact with people of the
district, / feel that sentiment is
crystalizing in favor of the IS
year modernization plan," Miller
said. .-s.- ...a .-"..
There may be some things
about the plan that will need re-
adjustment before it can be put
nito law, but think the general
idea is good" Miller said. "Those
opposing any increases in taxes
on motor vehicle fuels, and fees
for users, specifically members of
the Washington Taxpayers Asso-
citation, do so on the ground that
the state should not be commit
ted to any program extending Is
years into the future. While the
1949 legislature can approve in
principle 15-year modernization
program, 1t can appropriate for
only two years, and cannot bind
any succeeding legislature. There
Is nothing whatever to prevent an
adjustment of the program every
two years if it should seem ad-
visable from the standpoint of
cost or changing traffic needs"
Miller, with his colleague, Ole
H. Olson of Pasco, are to leave
Sunday for Olympia by automo-
bile. The legislature will convene
January 10.
The average annual cost for a
15-year program is computed by
the engineering staff to be $76.-
100000. Existing taxes and tax
rates would yield approximately
$50, 49,, 900 during the first year
OF a 15-year period, beginning
April l, 1949, and $63.a53, 900 dur
ing the last year. The average
revenue deficiency for all
highway systems would be Sl5,-
B55, 900 and it is this average an
nual amount that the one and a
half cent increase in the motor
vehicle fuel tax and other user
lax increase would provide.

Boys and Girls Pitch in to Make
Merrier Christmas for the Needv

Boys and girls who attend the
public schools in Kennewick took
extra dimes, quarters and fifty
cent pieces along on certain days
just before Christmas.
The extra money was not for
their own amusement or benefit
but for families in the Kennewick
area who found themselves in bad
circumstances just when most
people Were all set for a merry
Christmas.
Many children in such families
had better food, toys, and other
things that go with Christmas as
a result oft he distribution. Bill
Brace and Ken Silliman, two STU
dents, got truck and handled
the distribution of gifts among
the families who Were found IN
need.
The different home rooms of
the high school and ninth grade
of the junior high took the lead
in collecting food and gifts. Mer-
chants furnished many of the
items. Gifts Were wrapped and
assembled in home room 10 at
the high school, the room where
the Idea of giving was first pro-
posed. Don Cooley, home room !.

Fire sirens screamed their
warnings 80 times in Kennewick
during 1913, the records of Fire
Chief Herb Malchow showed

pany held losses to Sl72. 292-a
figure which included the $50, 900
loss of the Kennewick hotel and
the $4,000 fire damage to the
Poflach Yards, Inc.
With these exceptions, the de-
structive force of fire was limit
ed to $22.292, with one month.
April, resulting in no loss at all.
Other negligible fire loss months
were January, $40; March, $50;
and May and November, with
Sl05 each. In only four months of
the year-May, July, September
and December, did fire distraction
pass the figure of $1,000.
The report reveals a fire fight
ing record considered by compe-
tent authorities to be one of the
most outstanding for cities of its
size in the entire nation.

Seniors and Juniors of the Ken
newick high school are learning
under the expert tutelage of Driv-
ing Instructor Del Flint, that an
automobile is not toy, but a
machine for transportation.
That is the basic lesson taught
in the drivers course that opened
at the high school November 1
with the approval and cooperation
Of the Washington state patrol.
Flint, now regular member
of the faculty, served with the
state patrol for almost four years,
from 1914 to 1947. In July of 1y47
he entered the employment of
the General Electric company at
Richland, working in the field Of
accident investigations. He also
assisted with the establishment
Of the adult driver training pro-
gram for the city of Richiand.
That much of his instruction
material has '.live" quality, may
be attributed, Flint believes, to
the fact that he learned it as it
happened. High school students
learn, during their Is hours OF
class room instruction, how spe-
cific accidents that. occurred in the
community happened and how they
might have been prevented.
In the class room, the student
also learns the state motor We
hicie laws and their interpreta-
ton. -: ..~-....- .@
