Communist Mob Demonstrates In Berlin
tBY Richard Kasischke)

BERLIN, (P) - Backed by a bowling crowd, pro-communists forced their way into Berlin's city hall today and took over the as sembly chamber for a propaganda barrage against the anti-commun- ist city government.
 While 10000 or more persons shouted and surged outside, some 800 pushed through police lines into the building and took seats in the third floor assembly hall They remained there long enough to hear tirades against the city government and then left to jon the huge crowd outside.
 The city hall is in the Russian sector of Berlin. The socialist party announced it is planning a nter-demonstration outside the b u rned-out German Reichstag building, which, though it is i the British sector, is only a stones throw from the Soviet sector bor- der.
 During the wild demonstration, communist leaders shouted de- mands for Jan end to this bank rupt city government" They call ed for formation of an admins tration in Berlin (which will work hand in hand with the great Sov- jet Union and countries of east ern Europe"
 While the communists met in side, the crowd outside chanted the Red anthem, the "Internation- ale"
 No casualties were reported By midafternoon, a large part of the crowd had dispersed.

"WhO Is The Liar?'' In Spy Probe
(BY Douglas B. Cornell)

WASHINGTON, (P)-Congres- sional spy probers gave chase to 1929 jalopy yesterday in re- neWed attempt to prove whether Alger Hiss or Whitaker Cham bers lied about a pre-war com munist underground.
 They also started writing a re- port on what they have found out so far.
 A closed meeting was called to discuss the report. No hearings were scheduled for the day.
 In a drama-packed encounter before the House un-American activities committee Wednesday, Hiss and Chambers told widely different stories about a Model A Ford and about nearly everything else.
 They traded charges of liar at hearing that ran all day and into the night. Each stuck firmly to his main points, in the face of warnings that one or the other is sure to face a perjury trial
 Chambers, short, pudgy, AT year-old senior editor of Time magazine, insisted that Hiss was a member of a Red underground in Washington a dozen years ago. He said he knew because he used to be a communist himself and served in the underground.
 Hiss insisted it wasn't so, that

Strike Is Certain Unless Employers Give Good Offer

SAN FRANCISCO, (P)-Long- shore chief Harry Bridges, armed with solid support from his CIO union for a west coast strike Sept. 2, prepared yesterday to meet wa terfront employers in negotiations that may avert the WaalkOut.
 Bridges announced the expect ed resumption of peace talks at a meeting of 5000 longshoremen Wednesday. The meeting voted unanimously for the strike and also to boycott a national labor relations board election next week on the employers last official wage offer of a five-cent hourly increase.
 Similar votes were taken at stop work meetings in Seattle, Los An geles and Portland.
 Bridges cautioned against lover optimism" from the negotiations, and counseled the membership to keep in readiness to hit the bricks Sept. unless your nego- tiating committee receives a sat isfactory offer from the employ CTS"

Hiss, Chambers Buy Same House
(BY William F. Arbogast)

W SHIN GTON, (P) - The House un-American activities committee assigned an investiga- ton today to track down a new report that Alger Hiss and Whit taker Chambers once were inter- ested in the some old farm near Westminster, Md.
 The committee also brought in handwriting expert in an at tempt to get to the bottom of the widely different stories the two men have told about their rela- tionship a dozen years ago.
 The latest story the spy inves- tigators are trying to run down is that Hiss made a down-payment to real estate agent on the Mary land farm but lost interest in the property and didn't complete the purchase. Then Chambers was re- ported to have bought the farm later and his family was said to have lived there for a while.
 Rep. Nixon R.-Calif) told re- porters the committee intends to see if "this is another link in the chain of evidence or just pure CO., incidence"
 The committee members are searching for a key to crack the Hiss-Chambers riddle.
 They claimed some success: A sworn statement by ex-commun- ist Louis Budenz that he always had considered Hiss to be under party discipline.

competitors have natural reactions that fast.
Improvement comes slowly, through keen
competition. Mark Wright, of Dartmouth,
made the worlds first l3-foot leap in 1912.
Fifteen years later Yale's Sabin Carr cleared
Ia feet. And it wasn't until 1910 that a long
legged basketball player named Cornelius
Warmerdam became the first man in history
to pole-vault Is feet. He cleared that
height 40 times, with top mark of Is
feet, eight and a half inches, and still
ranks as the only 15-foot vaulter.
Wamerdam, now retired, is good ex-

would have cleared 16 feet.

lower in the next month or two, then
turn upward. They will remain ma
terially higher than last year. Milk
production is running about A per-
cent lower than last year, and the
lowest at this a since 1941.
Light production along with strong
consumer demand for butter, cheese
and canned milk, active storage de-
mand to provide reserves for next
fall and winter and continued gov
eminent buying of evaporated and
dried milk will sustain prices at
relatively high levels.
EGG prices probably will work
higher in the next three months. The
egg-feed price ratio is likely to i'm
prove greatly by late summer.
Production probably will drop 80
to 40 percent in the next three
months. Storage stocks of shell eggs
are about 40 percent less than last
year. Fall production is likely to
be the lightest in several years be-
cause of small pullet flocks. Re-
cent demand for sexed pullet chicks
has been strong.
POULTRY prices probably will be
steady to slightly lower in the next
two or three months. Weakness is
likely to appear first in broilers,
then in fryers, then in roasting
chickens. Prices probably will stay
at a relatively high level. Numbers
of chicks and young chickens on
farms on May l were IT percent
lower than a year ago and the
smallest for that date since 1871.
/. Turkey hatchings in April were Il
percent less than last year. Orders
for poults in May continued to ex-
coed the output.
POTATO prices probably will be
steady to lower during the next
month or two.
The late spring crop is estimated
at Is percent over last year and AZ
