West Allies Reported
Drafting Declaration
OF Policy on Blockade
U. S. Spokesman indicates
Meeting With Soviet Nay
Be Held Sometime Today
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, May 3.-The three
big Western powers were reported
today to be completing a joint
declaration of policy on the Berlin
blockade to lay before Russia with
in "a hours.
Speculation in some quarters
was that this would call for lifting
the blockade as early as next week.
A State Department spokesman
indicated there was a possibility
the ENJOYS of the United States.
Britain, France and Russia would
meet some time today.
But Philip c. Jessup, American
Ambassador-at-large denied re-
ports that a four power meeting
had been scheduled at pm. in his
Office at 2 Park avenue.
Dates To BE Proposed.
The Joint declaration will pro-
pose dates for lifting the blockade
and converting the Council of
Foreign Ministers for a discussion
of the whole German question, it
was understood.
Officially, DR.. Jessup and the
British and French representatives
Sir Alexander Cadogan and Jean
Chauvel-maintained the secrecy
which has surrounded the 10 weeks
of talks since DR.. Jessup first
talked to RuSsia's Jacob A. Malik
on the subject.
Usually well-informed quarters,
however. said 1t would be safe to
speculate on these dates in con-
nection with the Western position

Foreign Ministers.

ENJOYS met here yesterday for
more than an hour. The only
official announcement after this
session was a terse communique
saying the blockade discussions
still were progressing "satisfac-
torily."
The participants were Cadogan,

FIJI Agent Testifies
As Surprise Witness
For Cop|on Defense
Tells Of Shodowine Her
When She Made No Move
To Meet Gubitchev
By jones J. CuIlinone

In surprise move. an FBI
agent was called as a defense wit
ness for Judith Coplon at her
espionage trial in District Court
today to tell of shadowing her in
New York on at least three occa-
sions when she made no effort to
meet her alleged Russian accom-
plice.
Defense Attorney Archibald
Palmer dramatically charged that
the Government deliberately Sc
lected three other dates to put the
limelight on her and tried to con-
ceal these other dates when all
her activity tended toward hon.
esty and decency."
Special Agent Richard E. Bren-
men testified that he trailed Miss
Coplon on January 10. 20 and 81.
Previously the only reported dates
on which Miss Coplon was trailed
were January IA. February 10 and
March 4.
Arrested on March 4.
She was arrested in New York
on March 4 with Valentine A.

employed by the United Nations
in New York.
Agent Bremen said that on
January 10 he saw Miss Coplon
emerge from an elevator in the
Picadilly Hotel in New York with
a man he could not identify. Mr..
Palmer asked If the man was
Miss Coplon's brother and the
agent said he did not know the
brother.
Miss Coplon and her escort went
to a restaurant for dinner and
later to a theater. Mr.. Bremen
testified. On January 20 and 81.
he continued, he trailed Miss
Coplon from the Brooklyn home
of her parents to the Manhattan
shopping district. He followed her
through numerous stores but saw
her make only one purchase
silk scarf.
Mr.. Palmer asked the FBI agent
If Miss Coplon appeared to have
been shopping for trousseau. The
agent replied negatively.
Pressed About Recognition.
Mr.. Palmer pressed Mr.. Bremen
for an explanation as to how he
recognized the 27-year-old bru-
nette Miss Coplon when he first
began trailing her the night of
January IA.
She was no outstanding beauty
that would make people stand and
look at her with their mouths
agape." Mr.. Palmer said, 80 how
did you recognize her when she
stepped from the train?"
Agent Bremen said she was
pointed out to him by another
FBI man.
Mr.. Palmer then demanded to
know II Mr.. Brennen's superiors
had told him why they wanted

Navy Charges Plot byChina Reds
To Trap West's Ships at Shanghai
By Sinking Vessel in Harbor Exit
U. S., British and
French Escaped,
Spokesman Says

SHANGHAI, May 3.-Amerlcan
British and French naval craft
left the Shanghai waterfront last
week because of reported Com
munist plot to block their passage
to the sea. a United States Navy
spokesman said today.
The spokesman, from the staff
of Vice Admiral Oscar C. Badger
said reliable sources" told the
United States Navy that Com
munists planned to scuttle ship
near Woosung, the Chinese Ma
tionalist garrison, that would have
blocked the larger ships from the
sea.
The spokesman evidently dis
closed this plot to offset accusa-
tons that the United States Navy
had run out" on Communist
threatened Shanghai.
Details of the pilot" came from
the same source which had pre-
viously tipped the Navy that the
Communists had a similar plan to
bottle up naval vessels in Tientsin
earlier this year, the spokesman
said.
Plot "Nipped in Bud"
The Navy evacuated numerous
persons from Tientsin shortly be-
fore the city fell and the route to
the sea was cut.
The Navy spokesman said the
Woosung plot" was "nipped in
the bud" He refused to give
details. saying it was a Chinese
matter.
He said after the plot was
"nipped" the American President
Lines ship President Wilson came
up to the Shanghai waterfront
past the Woosung garrison. The
Wilson tied up at Bund pier and
evacuated 800 persons after an
overnight stay.
1t was learned the Nationalist
we're cycling closely all ships in the
Woosung area to prevent any
Scuttling attempt.
Ships Still i'm Shanghai Area.
The spokesman said the Navy
had not left the Shanghai area.
He said at present three destroyers
and an Lei Oanding craft in
!antry) were anchored near Woo
yung, IL miles from here. An LIST
landing ship tanks was due to-
morrow. He said the Lei was
making a daily shuttle run between
Shanghai and Woosung.
The spokesman, at a news con-
terence. pledged the Navy would
zeep ships here as long as there
vas any possibility of an emer-
yency evacation. He said the
present group of ships can accom-
nodate the 1850 Americans still
n Shanghai.
The Navy spokesman disclosed
hat the transport Chiffon. last
major American vessel to leave the
Shanghai water front, had gone
10 Tsingtao with all of the Ma
tines who had been quartered
,board her.
This disclosure recalled Admiral
Badgers statement last winter
when the Marines were brought
here that he would give consid-
.ration to the protection of Amer
can interests" in Shanghai. Many
businessmen thought the admiral
meant he would use the Marines
10 guard their property here.
Navy Bars Embodiment.
The spokesman said any such
probability was eliminated when
Chinese Communists fired on Brit
sh warships in the Yangtze River
asst month. He said the United
States Navy will not become en-
,roiled in China's civil war.
He said the Navy had decided
q
