BERLIN, Aug. 3.-Commercial
planes lifted 80 tons of Berlin ex-
port products to West Germany
in the last "a hours in an ex-
panding effort to defeat Russian
controls which have caused the
West to stop overland shipments.
This more than doubled the
tonnage of two days ago, and the
three participating airlines said
they were awaiting the arrival of
more freight planes to increase it
still further.
Allied transport officials here
would not speculate how big the
baby ai1'lift" might grow. Un-
official quarters talked of a goal
of 200 tons daily but everybody
hoped the Russians would soon
back down.
Under the present plans the city
government engages the air space
for the exporting firms and &C
cepts the freight bills. No an
pouncement had been made about
payment Of the increased freight
costs, but it was generally under
stood they would be met with
ECA aid or counterpart funds.
East Berlin's Communist press
took first notice of the CONNER
cial airlift with an editorial in the
Berliner Zeitung.
The Zeitung said it was all "a
prof1teering scheme" which would
be unnecessary. if West Berlin
firms met Soviet demands to pre-
sent certificates of origin for
their products. The Communists
claim that such certificates would
show that most West Berlin prod
ucts are manufactured from ma
terials "smuggled out of (Soviet)
East Germany"
The West has refused to deliver
such certificates and, in an at
tempt to make the Russians re-
treat on the issue, has stopped

Arthritis Relieved by Home Theropy PLAN
By Wallace {. CIoyton

An elderly Bethesda woman
who was completely bedridden
from arthritis two months ago is
now able to stand briefly with
the aid of crutches and take a
faltering step or two.
A 21-year-old man. so crippled
by arthritiS a few months ago
that he could move only his neck,
now can feed himself, write let
tiers and turn the pages of a
book.
Are these cases the result of
a new miracle cure" for arthritis?
Not at all. Doctors point out
there is no miracle cure. @
They are, rather, the result of
the District ArthritiS and Rheu-
matism Foundation new program
TO bring the restorative powers
of physical therapy to bedridden
patients who otherwise would not
be treated.
Under the auspices of the foun-
dation, Miss Josephine Chaves, a
native of Bogota, Colombia. is
making regular weekly visits to
the most crippled cases in the
Washington area.
Priority Project.
Miss Chaves became interested
in physical therapy while a stu
dent at Wellesley College and de-
Iclded this was a skill needed in
her homeland.
The home therapy program has
been the priority project of the
foundation for some time. Similar
plans are being carried out by
many other chapters throughout
the country.
Officials of the three-year- -old
National Arthritis and Rheuma-
ttism Foundation say the majority
Iof persons stricken with arthritiS
can lead normal lives, if they
receive proper treatment in time.
And proper treatment, en-
phaSizeS DR.. Charles S. Wise,
director of physical medicine al
George Washington University
Hospital, still consists principally
of rest and physical therapy-the
exercising of afflicted joints TO
prevent further stiffening.
Until the last fund drive, how
ever, the District foundation had
to content itself with helping
support the new arthritis clinics
at George Washington and
Georgetown Hospitals.
Long Search for Therapist.
But last year. enough money
was raised. After a long search
for a therapist-there are 5000
in the country, and there is a.
demand for 15,000-Miss Chaves
agreed to serve until she returns
to Colombia.
The first patient she visited was
the woman in Bethesda. Her
visits there were twice weekly |
The process was slow, and, for
the patient, at times painful. But

of these matters, but there are
some agencies that do not follow
this practice. The measure would
make labor management dealings
IN Government compulsory, and it
would penalize any Government
official who tried to prevent en-
ployes from joining a union.
Representative Rhodes, Demo-
.crat, of Rhode Island, predicts
the committee will approve his
bill this year. In former years,
the subcommittee handling the
Legislation was composed mostly
Iof members unsympathetic to the
bill who succeeded in shelving it.
This year. however, there are diff
ferent members on the subcom-
mittee and they are much friend
ller to its provisions.
Chairman is Representative
Karsten. Democrat, of Missouri.
The other members are Mr..
Rhodes and Representative Lesin-
ski, Democrat, of Michigan, and
Republican Representatives With
row, of Wisconsin, and Gross, of
Iowa.
Despite the fact that the bill
has a good chance of getting the
committees approval, it faces an
uphill fight to get past Congress
this year. But Mr.. Rhodes de-
clares committee approval would
give the bill a good start and i'm
prove its chances for eventual

employees owe vote of thanks to
Representative Rees. Republican.
OF Kansas, the ranking minority
member of the House Civil Serv-H
ice Committee, for the fact that
the group voted them the same
$400 pay boost that was accorded
postal workers.
The committee had been in
cllneo 10 give classified employees
a lesser raise. but Mr.. Rees spon-
sored an amendment to give them
the same $400 pay boost. Al
though the Kansan is noted in
Congress for his strong economy
leanings, he made the compelling
argument before his committee
colleagues that it would be a great
injustice to classified employees
to vote them a lesser amount.
Consequently, the committee ap-
proved the Rees amendment.
Among the other committee mem
berS who helped Mr.. Rees in the
fight for a $400 classified pay
raise were Acting Chairman Nor
rison of Louisiana and Represent
atlveS KarSten of Missouri and

Three More Surrender
In Roundup Of Reds
Facing Deportation
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Three
additional aliens surrendered
today in the Government roundup
of 80 persons at liberty under bail
furnished by the Civil Rights
Congress, branded subversive by
the United States attorney gen.
eral.
The three brought to 16 the
number in custody in New York.
One also surrendered in Boston
and one in Philadelphia, after the
attorney voided all bail posted
through the congress.
All face deportation on charges
Of being members of the Commu-
mist Party or having Red connec-
tlonS. The bail fund of the con-
gress had posted a total of $11O.-
600 for the defendants, 81 of
whom live in the New York dis
trlct and eight in the Detroit
area.
They must produce new bonds
or go to jail.
Their re-arrests started yester-
day after Attorney General Nc
Grath announced that the Justice
Department considers void all
bond furnished by the congress
bail fund.
Others Due Today.
Four other New Workers. were
excused from appearing yester-
day, and lawyers representing all
but two of the others promised
to produce their clients sometime
today.
The Federal directive had Or
dered surrender in New York,
Boston, Philadelphia and Detroit.
The Justice Department warned
that all who fail to report today
must have good excuses or face
forfeiture of bail.
OutlaWing of the Civil Rights
Congress as bondsman was in
itlated last month in New York
by Federal Judge Sylvester j.
Ryan. He acted after four of IL
convicted Communists jumped
100000 in congress bail, and the
bail fund trustees refused to fur
nlsh a list of fund contributors.
The Judge said knowledge of the
fund donors might aid in the
Nationwide search for the fugi-
tive Reds, still at large. They are
Gus Hall, Robert Thompson,
Henry Winston and Gilbert Green.
Mr.. McGrath said the Govern
ment's action was based on the
same premise made by Judge
Ryan.
Spend Night on Ellis Island.
Those who surrendered here in
cluded Alexander Bittelman and
Betty Gannett held in lieu of S.
900 bail each in a deportation
case. They were among II sec
ond string" Communist leaders in
dicted on charges of conspiracy
to each and advocate the over
throw of the United States Gov
ernment by violence. They were
out on $4,000 bail each in that
case.
The 13 surrendering here, un-
able to post acceptable substitute
bail, spent the night on Ellis
Island.
One accused alien appeared with
$4,000 cash bail but was in
formed that regulations call for
posting of United States Treasury
bonds.
In 1949, Gerhardt Eisler. an
alien Communist, jumped S23 500
bail posted by the congress and
fed the country aboard the
Polish liner Batory.
Four trustees of the congress-
bail fund now are serving Jail
sentences for contempt Of court.
They are Frederick Vanderbilt

Mr.. Bosone deplored the fact

publicity overlooks the fact that
