75,000 Berliners Unveil Memorial To Allied Airlift

BERLIN, (P)-Berliners, 75,000 strong jammed Templehof air base Tuesday as the city govern ment unveiled a memorial to the Allied airlift which snapped the Soviet blockade two years ago.
 Under a baking sun, the vast throng stood in mute tribute to what Mayor Ernst Reuter- de- scribed as the spirit that kept Berlin free"
 The monument is a 63-foot stone arch with three crescent like tips symbolizing the Ameri- can, British and French lair cor riders" used by the big cargo planes to span the Russian zone and free the city.
 Inscribed in bronze at the base of the statue were the names of TO Allied fliers and five Germans who died mostly in crashes dur ing the 11-month-long siege.

Committee Recommends IS Per Cent Cut In State Dept. Funds

WASHINGTON, (P) - T h e House Appropriations Committee recommended an IS per cent cut in this years funds for the State Department, but aimed none of the reduction directly at Secre- tary Aches0n.
 Republicans seeking to force Acheson's custer withheld their fire until the bill financing his de- partment reaches the House floor, probably early next week.
 They did not offer in the com mittee a proposal to prohibit the use of any department funds to pay Acheson's salary during the fiscal year which started July |. Such a ban probably will be of- fered during House debate, and Democratic leaders have conceded the vote will be close.

US. DiScOntinues Cultural Activities In Hungary

WASHINGTON, (P - Tn e United States informed Hungary that, in response to demand of last Monday, it will discontinue its cultural activities in that Com munist nation.
 This development is an out growth of the recent trial of Archbishop Groesz. Charges of working against the Communist regime were made against Ameri- can legation officials in that case. The Hungarian government de- manded the recall of three offic- ials and the closing down of the U. s. library and motion pictures and musical activities.
 The Hungarian government charged these activities were organs camouflaging acts of es- poniage and subversive activity"

Mayor Giving Up Bid
To Test Reporters 10
By the Associated Press

OGDENSBURG, N. Y, Aug. A.
Mayor Ralph G. Morissette today
lifted his city hall ban against
Newsman Charles Saunders and
was expected to drop his request
that reporters here be required
to take intelligence tests.
Mr.. Saunders, a reporter for the
'Ogdensburg Journal, had been
ignoring the ban anyway.
The journal said the mayor had
telephoned to state he was willing
to drop the whole thing.
The Journal added that the
Mayors decision was made after
he had read an open letter in
which the Journal ribbed him
about his complaints against a
story Mr.. Saunders had written
for his paper.
The Mayor had asked the Com
mon Council to enact a law pro-
hibiting newspapers from hiring
reporters unless they had passed
mental tests.

The Thing,' Both
Hen and Rooster
By the Associated Pres.

OMAHA, Aug. 4.-Death, ap-
Iparently at the hands of kidnapers
had come today to a peculiar OLD
bird known as "The Thing"
The thing was a 10-year-old
chicken, half hen and half rooster
owned by Attorney Ross L. Shot
well of Omaha.
AS a rooster, it was under
biological compulsion to fulfill a
irooster's function with the flock,
which it did. AS a hen, it was
under similar compulsion to lay
eggs, which it did often.
But as for rosters crow or a
hens cackle, it had neither.
About ten days ago, the bird
for which carnival folk had vainly
Offered Mr.. Shotwell $3.50, was
stolen. A few nights later the at
Itorney received an ANONYMOUS
phone call. A woman on the other
end named a sum of several
hundred dollars as the price of
the birds return.
Yesterday Mr.. Shotwell went
into his yard. There, tossed over
MS fence during the night, was
