Neighbor Saves Man
Trying TO Hang Self

A neighbor saved a distraught
husband from death today when
he cut the man from the rafters
of his basement where he was at
tempting to hang himself, accord
ing to police.
The husband is John E. Smith,
27. colored, of $500 Bass place
Sc. He was taken to Gallinger
Hospital for observation.
His rescuer was Ivan Nelson,
colored, of 1924 Bass place S.E.
According to Mrs. Carrie Smith,
%. her husband came into her
room this morning and kissed her
and their three sons. He then
went to the basement.
Mrs. Smith said she then heard
noise there. On investigating
she said she found her husband
hanging from a rafter with a
clothesline around his neck. She
ran to the street, screaming, she
related, and stopped Mr.. Nelson
who was passing in a car.
Mr.. Nelson ran into the kitchen,
grabbed a knife and went to the
basement. He cut the cord
around Mr.. Smiths neck. Mrs.
Smith said that her husband
gasped he'd rather be dead than
go to jail"
Mrs. Smith said she had sworn
out a warrant yesterday for his
arrest on an assault charge. She
said he threatened her and kicked
her last Friday.

Allies Plan ReprisaIs
If Soviet Doesn't
Slowing Berlin Traffic
BY the Assoeioted Press

oGItL41S, req. 1U.-AIQeTlCd0
High Commissioner McCloy said
today that the Allies will impose
counter measures against East
Germany If the Russians continue
their Showdown" blockade on
Berlin highway trade.
MIR. McCloy said he would not
describe as a "reprisal" the en-
barge on steel exports to the East
ern zone. announced February
by the West German government
but he added:
THE arm-twisting tactics of the
last few weeks would not make one
over-tolerant to Soviet sensibil-
tiles"
A previous announcement saio
steel shipments were being cut of
because the East zone has failed
to fulfill its part of the trade
agreement providing for the steel
deliveries.
Delaying Tactics Described.
Guards at the Soviet zone
frontier 100 miles west of here
were reported today using more
delaying tactics on trucks bound
to and from Berlin.
At Helmstedt. the border check
point, 95 Berlin-bound trucks and
100 west-bound vehicles were
lined up while frontier guards
cleared them at a rate of seven
to nine trucks an hour in each
direction.
Mr.. McCloy refused at press
conference here to say what re-
prisals Allied powers might in
woke.
The high commissioner said
there was smell of propaganda u
about plans for a rally of 100000
Communist youths in Berlin May
26.
This is not something to get
tensed up about, but to watch
and make our plans accordingly" "
he said, adding:
by June l West Berlin will still
be here and so will we."
Plot Reported.
Some German sources had pre-
dicted East German Communists
would attempt to seize control of
West Berlin during the youth
rally.
Mr.. McCloy charged the Rus
slams we're making great effort
to regiment youth in Eastern Ger
many"
The youth rally, he asserted, is
"just another abuse of the mind
and character of the German
YOUTH
"We saw it happen also during
Hitler" he declared.
Mr.. McCloy, who arrived by spe-
cial train from West Germany this
morning, crossed the Soviet zone
frontier without delay. He planned
to return tonight.
Prepare for Emergency.
Western Allied leaders last
night laid plans to meet any
emergency which may arise
May 29 with the influx into
Berlin of the Communist youth
from East Germany.
The West has forbidden
parades and demonstrations in
the Western sectors-but May %
is the first anniversary of the
East German Peoples Congress
which set up the Soviet
dominated peoples republic in
the East zone. This could pro-
vide the excuse for Communist
propaganda hoopla which might
be engineered out of tlle control
of the West German police.
The American. British and
French commandants met last
night to discuss the forthcoming
event. Informed sources said they
agreed generally to allow the Com
munist youth in West Berlin by
invitation of the Western authori-
ties. to see what it is like. But,
the informant said, there will be
ground rules-no marching, no
fag-waving. no political demon
strations, no inspired disorders.

New Zealand a happy land. Their
labor government had given the
people "the most advanced social
security system in the world"
Sociologists came from all over
the world to study it's generous old
age, widows and invalid's pen

day is preparing to gallop down

At the outset of the Korean

of North Koreans, Mr.. Nehru said
his government was concerned for
two reasons.

killed and unnecessary damage

seizure ended. The Government
could go ahead and make its owr
settlement with the unions, but
such a course is unlikely.
The dispute with the traipmer
and conductors has been going or
since March, 1949. The unions
asked 40-hour week with the
same pay as now received for q
48-hour week for men in yard
service, plus a pay boost for work
ers in train service.
An emergency board named BY
Mr.. Truman turned down the re.
quested pay boost for train service
men and recommended the 40
hour week plus and 18-cent hourly
increase for yard service men. The
unions said the train service mer
should have received something
and the yard service men a 81
cent hike.
The carriers stood pat On the
emergency boards recommends
tions. The unions held out fol
their full demands.
Nearest thing to a settlement
was a proposal, accepted by the
carriers but rejected by the
unions, calling for a 23-cen1
boost, instead of IS cents, for yarc
service employees and a five-cent
increase for train service workers

coupled a clause to permit auto
matte increases if living costs
go up.
Following union action last
night in ordering the Nation
wide strike. the carriers put out q
statement accusing the union
leaders of "double-dealing and
complete responsibility" They
said the unions acted As minutes
after they assured the White
House mo further strikes were
contemplated"
THE existing deadlock" the
carriers statement said, 'is due
to the refusal of the two Qabor)
organizations to settle this dis
pute on the basis of the recon-
|mendations of President Truman's
fact-flnding board and, on the

leaders said that the token

their course, and that no further
action was contemplated out Of
regard for President Truman's
efforts at settlement.
Yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Steel
man brought the disputants to-
gether in joint session, but the
deadlock continued. When ad-
journment was taken. the brother
hood leaders again said that the
five-day stoppages would end as
scheduled, and Mr.. Steelman re-
ported that the suspension of
negotiations had taken place
without any Ill feeling.
Then came the strike call.
Mr.. Steelman was advised in
this telegram:
please be advised and advise
the President that we have au-
thorized train and yardmen with
drawn from service on all rail-
roads in the United States 6 am
standard time. Monday. August
%, as a result of failure to
reach settlement on the national
rules movement"
Union officials have said that
unless terms satisfactory to the
men could be obtained, the only
way to prevent a wave of Wild
cat strikes was for the Govern
ment to take over.
Rail officials privately raised the
thought that the strike call might
have something to do with the
trainmen's convention scheduled
in Miami. September Is. Mr.
Kennedy now is their acting presi-
dent. He succeeded the late A. F.
Whitney last year and now is UP
for reelection.
A union statement said union
leaders "have been forced to the
conclusion that the railroads have
not given and apparently will not
give" the White House the CO.
opertion it must have to effect a
satisfactory peaceful settlement. 9
The strike, it said. was called
injustice to the interests and
rights" of the two unions.
Rail officials said the full union
demands would cost $50 million.
