What has been proved beyond any
question lis the economy of ever
larger airplanes. provided air
fields cam be equipped to handle
them.
More impressive has been the
development of maintenance pro-
cedures. Spare parts manuals have
been completely revised.
In addition 1t has been dis
covered that basically sound air
craft. which the C-54 certainly is,
can be rebuilt every 1000 hours
for almost perpetual operation.
Some pilots say they improve. >,
Every phase Of cargo handling
has been altered from the moment
supplies leave the mines or fields
or factories to the actual loading

Superior to anyone Of these in
dividual achievements, however. Is
the whole system itself. Tech
niques and equipment have been

Free Reich Elections
Held Basic Problem
Al Ministers Farley
BY David M. NiehoI
Foreign Correspondent Of rhs stor end
me chieaao Dolly News

BERLIN. May 9.-The question
of free elections throughout Ger
many is emerging as the core Of
the problem facing the Four
Power Foreign Ministers once the
Berlin blockade is lifted next
Thursday.
From the standpoint Of the
Western Allies it would be i'm
possible to agree to establishment
of unified or federalized Ger
many on any other basis than q
general ballot for all Germany.
| From the Soviet standpoint, on
the other hand. such elections in
the country's present temper prob
ably would mean virtual disap-
pearance Of the Communist-con-
trulled Socialist Unity Party as q
party of any political Importance.
Communist strength In the West
Berlin elections last December
was, estimated at less than 81 per
cent. That proportion probably
is about the same In Western Ger
many.
Plebiscite Planned.
Eastern German leaders. aware.
Of their predicarnent, are pushing
plans for a plebiscite May IS and
is which will be a rubber stamp
"ja" for handpicked delegates to
the third peoples congress.
For bargaining purposes at least
the Soviets probably will propose
this agency as constitutional
convention for the future German
state.
Western leaders. on the other
hand, are moving rapidly for the
first; time toward completion Of a
Western German constitution and
establishment Of Western Ger
man state. In this they have the
full support Of the three western
Allies.
The way would remain open for
admission of the provinces Of
Eastern Germany, but this would
require considerable changes in
the social. political and economic
structure which the Soviets have
installed over four years and would
be reluctant to see go by the
boards.
Berlin Airlift Evaluated.
Meanwhile, experts are begin
ming to count up some Of the
achievements of the Berlin airlift.
In point of immediate result, Of
course, 1t has kept the city free.
and 1t has checked the Soviet pro-
gram for bringing the whole OF
Germany under Soviet influence.
On a longer-range basis there are
many who believe that 1t has
either prevented World War III
or showed 1t back . considerable
number of years.
But there is another aspect
which has been more Or less over
shadowed by the drama of the
political arena. BY and large. the
airlift has wiped out almost all
former concepts about movements
by air of bulk supplies for civilian
or military purposes.
The l0ls months of the airlift
have furnished the sternest prov
ing ground ever devised for the
aircrews themselves and for al
most everything connected with
cargo aircraft. The greatest adj
vances have been made in actual
traffic patterns In the air and In
systems OF controlling these from

Australia S Top Red
Tells All, Squirting
Drive on Communists
BY Fred B. Hubbard
Pesslsn cersspendsns OF The Stor end
the chiease Daily News


.CANBERRA, Australia, May g.
Australia's half hearted fight
against communism here has re.
ceived q healthy shove forward
from Cecil .Sharpley, . Com.
naunist for Il years.
Until recently q top Red leader
IN Victoria. Sharpley decided tc
"tell all'' and he did pretty ef-
fectively In q series Of newspaper
articles.
Restricted by Australia's rigid
libel laws. 'Sharpley didn't quits
succeed In telling all" But nh
disclosures of the inside working,
of the Communist Party have
underlined the fact that the Red,
are pretty well organized here.
For one thing, Sharpley's spe.
cific accounts Of how Reds riggec
union elections and perpetrateo
vote frauds have come as shock
TO- raak-and-file unionists.
( Union President Resigns.
One union president has re-
signed pending investigation OF
Sharpley's claim that the official
was elected on a. Communist
rigged vote.
Another development is that
the Victoria government plans to
hold a royal commission investi-
cation into Red activities in that
state.
And 1t is clearly evident that
the opposition leaders will demand
that the federal government also
institute q probe when Parlia-
ment resumes. Repeatedly, the
opposition has additional informa-
tion from Sharpley that can't be
printed.
Sharpley, woh says he quit the
party because 1T Is fierceiy anti
Democratic and wants victor
tous Russian war" makes these
significant points:
Australian Communists are out
to weaken the country's defenses,
retard industrial production, and
lower workers wages.
Call Big Strikes.
They hope by weakening Aus
tralia to thus weaken the British
Commonwealth and Anglo-Amer-
lean understanding.
+, Most big strikes in Australia
over the past three years have
been called and run by Com
inunists.
Opposition parties. which have
long demanded outlawing the
Reds In Australia, find themselves
In an embarrassing position after
Sharpley's revelations. For the
ex-Comrnllnist says ban OF this
nature would have little effect
that the party already has COM
plete and thorough" plans to 60
underground.
His advice to those fighting Red
activities is to conduct union elec-
tions under strict supervision, take
firm. action against industrial
law violations by Reds, and pro-
vids for inspection of the Com
rnunist Party's balance sheets and
membership lists.
