American officials hoped today
that Russia will lift her land
blockade of Berlin in the face of
solemn warnings that the United
States, Britain and France will
not be driven OUT OF the German
capital by threats, pressures or

The Western nations warnings to
Moscow were accompanied by offers
to negotiate settlement of disputes
with the Soviet over administration
of Berlin once the blockade is ended
completely.
If the Russians do not yield, the
next step may be for the United
States, Britain and France to take
the case to the United Nations in
an effort to get u. N. backing fol-
their rights Of free access to Berlin
These rights were emphasized in
notes sent to Moscow last Tuesday

ReeordCropProspec
Expected 10 Help in
Meat Price Decline
Predicted Corn Yield
Is 41,OO0, 900 Bushels
Above Previous Top
BY the Associated Press

Prospects of the biggest gen.
eral farm crop in history gave
American housewives and diplo-
mats alike reason for rejoicing
today.
The outlook is for more and
cheaper meat at home--perhaps
next year-plus full-scale grain
shipments abroad, where food is a
big factor in combating Commun-
ism.
A record corn crop of 1928 1852 900
bushels, nearly Al 100000 above the
previous top crop of 1946, was fore
cast by the Agriculture Department
late yesterday. This is far above
last years total OF only 2,400, ,000, 900
bushels.
At the same time, the department
predicted a wheat crop of 1,241,-
ISL 900 bushels, only $4,000 900
bushels short Of the record set last
year.
Prospects Excellent.
In addition, excellent prospects
were held out for most Of the other
crops to come off American farms.
The huge corn, wheat and other
grain supplies will more than meet
the needs Of farmers who want to
step up feeding Of cattle, hogs ana
other meat producers.
The excess will be available Tor
shipment abroad and building up
depleted stock carried over from
previous years.
Last years poor corn crop was
pointed to by department experts
as the reason for the drop in TINS
wears meat production and the big
Jump in prices.
On the other hand, the big feed
supply outlook does not promise any
immediate relief.
Fall Relief Doubtful.
Holding off both hog and cattle
from slaughter while they are given
extra rations of corn and other
grains will keep the meat supply
tight through this fall.
In addition, large numbers OF
hogs are expected to be held back
for breeding purposes, further cut
ting the immediate supply.
With fewer animals on farms and
consumer demand very strong,
prices of most livestock products
are at or near record levels. These
should come down, however, when
big supplies of meat begin reaching
stores next year.

slSn-lnSplfeQ reacClOn pOlnCeO
today to the possibility that
Moscow will reject the Western
powers demand for immediate
lifting of the Soviet blockade of

This reaction, appearing in a com.

Gated the Russians will insist or
holding four-power talks on the
entire German problem before re-
opening supply routes to Berlin.
Britain, the United States and
France, in protest notes published
last night, said they are willing to
negotiate issues on the German
crisis, but only after the Berlin
blockade is lifted. They did not offer
to resume talks on the future OF all
Germany.

Germany, criticized the notes on
the ground that they limit them
selves solely to the problem OF Ber-
