West Berlin Switches
To Own Electricity
After Soviet Cutoff
Full Russian Blockade
To Divert Attention
From Koreu Feared
BY The Associated Pres.

BERLIN, July 1.--West Berlin
generated It's own electric power
today to replace Communist-sup-
piled current cut of at midnight
by the Soviet sector of the divided
city. ...
Engineers said they had no
technical difficulties making the
switch-over, but many observers
feared the latest Red ban might
presage full-scale Russian block
ade of the city to divert attention
from Korea.
East Berlin shut off the power
supply to it's Western counterpart
after long squabble over pay
mentS. The East has been re-
ceiving the equivalent of $500 a
day, in a blocked account in a
West Berlin bank, in return for
the supply.
dau hatner Fay Wore.
West Berlin officials said they
would rather incur higher costs
for generating their own power
than agree to an Eastern demand
to use the account for other than
the specified purposes-purchas-
ing electrical equipment and West
ern technical services.
These officials declared that the
Communists apparently wanted to
divert the power funds to their
political campaign chest.
Western officials said they had
enough coal on hand to meet elec-
trical requirements for the winter,
They predicted, however, that the
East would try to sell them power
again within a couple of months.
West Berlin built up it's power
generating plants during the So
Wet blockade which ended in May
1949.
Dispute Over Water.
East Berliners also have threat
ened to split the city's water sys-
tenn, beginning Monday, in another
dispute over costs. The two rival
city governments have agreed to
close the intersector lines, with
the proviso that they be opened
at once in case a water shortage
threatened either area.
Meanwhile, the Western Allies
have agreed to lift their embargo
on steel deliveries from West Ger
many to the Soviet occupation
zone if the Reds remove their re-
straints on delivery of goods and
services to West Berlin.
The ban on steel shipments
from West to East was imposed
several months ago. The Allies
laid the ban, they said, because
the Russian zone was falling too
far behind on deliveries of goods
it was supposed to exchange for
steel.

LAKE SUCCESS, July l.
Backed by more than half of the

cussed setting up a high-level
group to coordinate U. N. action
against Communist North Korea
There was no suggestion that
any military authority be taken
from Gen. Macarthur, now SUI
preme commander in the Japan
Korea area. The group here
would be named to tie up all loose
political ends in the U. N. and to
see that Gen. Macarthur has the
solid backing of the non-Com-
munist countries lining up against
Russian-sponsored North Korea.
The Security Council is expected
to decide on such a group next
week after further talks. It's men,
bership would be drawn from
countries sending forces to aid
South Korea.
Backed by 81 Countries.
The Security Council heard yes
terday that 80 members have in
dorsed the Councils demand for
military aid for South Korea.
Messages of support were reported
en- route from two other U. N.
members and also from italy, who
is not a member of the world
group.
A dissenting voice was heard
from Egypt, who announced yes
terday she was abstaining from
the Councils call of last Tuesday
for military action. Egypt said
previous cases of aggression had
been brought to the Council and
nothing happened. Observers saw
this as an obvious reference to
Egyptian complaints against Israel

Fred P. Lee To
Support COP
For Council

Frederick P. Lee, president of
the Montgomery County Council
and self-styled lifelong Demo-
crat," announced this week he will
vote for Republican candidates for
the Council in November. He made
the announcement in a letter to
Warren Browning, Democratic
State Central Committee chairman
for the county, in which Mr.. Lee
bitterly attacked the Democratic
Council candidates.
"The Democratic candidates for
the County Council (save two) are
organization subordinates support
ing a machine whose leaders for
years opposed the adoption of our
home-rule council-manager form of
government and have since con-
stantly sought through numerous
devices to obstruct it's functioning
and to bring about it's control for
their own partisan and personal
ends" he wrote.
Calling the contrast between the
two groups of candidates "clear,"
Mr.. Lee accused the Democrats of
resorting to "cyclone cellar" legis-
lation to counterfeit the home-rule
charter movement in the county.
He said the Republicans objective
is to run the county strictly as
business enterprise in the public
interest,"" without patronage or po-
litical manipulation.
MI. Lee, who is not seeking re-
election, is a prominent Washing
ton attorney who has long been a
supporter of Montgomery's Char
ter Committee. The committee is
backing all six Republican candi-
dates and two Democrats, Mrs.
Stella Werner and Grover Walker,
for the Council.
