Gen. C|ayWarn
Reds on Berlin
Power Cutoff
Actions Short of War
Won't Gust u. S. From
City, He Says
BY the Associoted Press

BERLIN, June 24.-The Rus
slams disrupted the power supply
and freight shipments in West
ern Berlin today, but Gen. Lu-
cius D. Clay served notice that
no action short of war is going to
force the Americans from this
city.
Gen. Clay, the American military
governor. said in Heidelberg that the
latest moves by the Russians indi-
cate they are trying to put on the
final pressure to drive us out of Ber-
lin" He said this could not be ac-
complished by any action short OF
war"
All food shipments on rail lines
running from Western Germany
were halted. Power from plants in
the Soviet zone was restored in most
sections of Berlin this afternoon
after cuts of varying length. but it
was expected to be turned off again
later in the evening.
Water Supply Adequate.
Gen. Clay said he had no plans
for cutting off water and power to
parts of the Soviet zone supplied
from the American area state of
Bavaria. He said the western Sec
tors of Berlin had enough water
supplies of their own and could fur
nish about half the normal power
consumption of the area.
The official Soviet and German
Communist press demanded anew
that the Western Allies quit the
city.
The Berlin power shutdown
affected the United States, British
and French zones. The only areas
spared were those where hospitals
or other important public institu-
tions are located.
The Soyiet-controlled Berlin radio
announced that the western sectors
must expect more power shutoffs
during the night This amounted
to warning of day and night cut
offs apparently intended to prevent
factories which shut down during
the day from engaging in night
operations.
Water Service Disturbed.
Reports from the French sector
said water service was being dis
turbed there.
The Russians and German Com
munists threatened economic re-
prisals against any of the 3,4O0,00O
Berliners who accept the Western
Allies new currency. The Russians
have decreed the currency illegal
and ordered use of their own new
money for the entire city.
When conversion begins in West
ern Berlin tomorrow a German who
turns in his old money for the new
Deutsche mark must accept stamp
on his personal identification papers
TO prevent repeating conversions.
Selling upon this, the Soviet
controlled radio warned the popu-
lation: ANY one who accepts that
stamp will be marked as a person
who violated the order of Soviet
Commander-in- Chief Marshal Soko-
lcvsky"
The radio reminded that frozen
bank balances of Berliners are
locked up in banks of the Soviet
sector of the city. Any one who is
identified as having taken the
western currency will never be able
to collect on those frozen accounts
when they are released"
Socialists Defiant.
The radio urged residents OF
Western Berlin to 60 into the So
Wet sector for the new Russian
stamped currency being issued to-

Ship Union Hiring Hall
Violates
Taft Act, NLRB Rules
Examiner Says NMU
Should Be Forced to
Drop Contract Clause

A National Labor Relations
Board trial examiner ruled to-
day that the CIO National Mari
time Union and seven of its Of
ficials have violated the Taft
Hartley Act by attempting to
force four Great Lakes oil tanker
firms to continue hiring new
employees through union hiring
halls.
The union hiring hall, which has
been used widely in recent years in
the shipping industry. leads to a
closed shop, which Is banned by the
Hartley Act.
Seven maritime unions recently
were enjoined by Federal courts
from striking over a dispute with
the maritime industry largely over
the question of continuing the use
of the hiring hall custom.
U. S. Fears Widespread Strikes.
Federal officials are concerned
that unless solution to that issue
can be found, widespread strike
will develop along the Nations
waterfronts upon the expiration of
the 80-day injunctions.
In the decision announced today,
the examiner, Howard Myers, said
the Taft Hartley Act now prohibits
the hiring-hall clause. as written
into the contracts" between the
NMU and the Great Lakes shippers.
He added this clause is clearly
repugnant to the act"
The union official named in Mr..
Myers decision included Joseph
Curran. the international NMU
president.
Cessation Order Urged.
Mr.. Myers recommended that the
NMU and the seven officials be Or

mel through the medium of the hir-
ing halls maintained and operated
by NMU." He also recommended
that the union, on request, bargain
in good faith with the companies.
Employees of the four companies
went on strike May 13 and returned
to work after Attorney General
Clark got the Federal court injunc-
ticn June A.
Unless Mr.. Myers decision is con-
tested within 20 days it will take
effect as an NLRB order enforce

Court of Appeals.

By q stoff Correspondent Of The stor


PHILADELPHIA, June "a
District delegates last night
joined in the wild, noisy parades
that marked the nominations
of several of the Republican
candidates.
The District banner was car
ried in the Dewey demonstra-
ton by George A. Parker. 1t
again was spotted in the Taft
show and also was swept into
the sea of signs of the Stas-
senites.
The District delegation today
announced it would back Gov.
Dewey.
Evening star., 1948-06-24


About the time Senator Salton-
stall was making his announcement,
Col. Robert r. Mccormick, publisher
of the Chicago Tribune. got out a
statement saying Dewey will not
be nominated because the delegates
realize he will be hard to elect.
The publisher is for Senator Taft.
Col. Mccormick charged that
"every one knows that the Indiana
delegation was bought by the Vice
Presidential nomination for Rep
resentative Charles Halleck after
Gov. Green tof Illinois, turned
down the offer for the Illinois dele
cation"
Coalition Continues Striving.
Meanwhile. the Stassen-Taft-Duff
coalition continued to strive for
some course which would halt the
Dewey bandWagon. Their difficulty
however, is that neither Senator
Taft nor Mr.. Stassen is willing tc
Quit and give up his chance for the
nomination.
One maneuver which the coalition
may attempt is to ask for a recess OF
the convention for hours after the
first ballot is taken, hoping for fur
ther time in which to work some
thing out.
It would be amazing. however, II
the convention should agree to- any
such recess. The delegates, tired as
they are, are anxious to get on with
the business of nominating Presl-
dent and Vice President.
The District of Columbia delega-
ton OF 3 votes is going to Gov
Dewey, it was learned today.
Stassen Sees Weakness.
Mr.. Stassen, at a press conference
continued to insist that Dewey was
on the toboggan. instead of being an
asset, he said. the action of 1ndi-
ana last night in switching its %
votes to Gov. Dewey en- bloc was
another sign of weakness.
Irdianas action was taken to
strengthen the candidacy of Repre-
sentative Charley Halleck of In
diana, the majority leader of the
House for the vice presidential nom-
inatlon.
