Soviet Army Turns Berlin Frontier
 Into NO-nan'sLand

BERLIN, R - Soviet might turned the Berlin frontier into a no mans land Thursday and sent before firing squad a German accused of organizing anti-Com- munist riots.
 Berlin's east sector, controlled by the Russians, was in virtual paralysis under the eyes of an armored division sent in from the Soviet occupation zone of Ger many. The quiet contrasted sharp ly with Wednesdays demonstra- tions, which cost the lives of at least 16 Germans.
 The firing squad execution was a grim warning to the Germans living under Soviet rule. In addi- ton, the Russians extended mar tial law to Potsdam, the suburb where ' the Truman-St -Stalin-Attlee meeting took place in 1945.
 
 No one was crossing the border between East Berlin and the western sectors controlled by the United States, Britain and France. And no smoke was rising from the Soviet sectors chimneys that were visible from the west. East Berlin workers by the thousands had re- fused to go to work Wednesday,
 More than 100 Germans were reported under arrest Thursday in East Berlin and facing Soviet courts. Flying squads of Peoples Police and Communist Party off cials raided workers homes, hunt ing suspects.

DARE BEACH RESIDENTS
TO VOTE TUESDAY ON
$3.50, 600 BOND ISSUES
Water Bond Election for SS28,OO and S22, 900
For Fire Fighting Equipment to Be Passed
Upon by Citizens from Kitty Hawk to
WhalebOne Beach on August 25th

The most important decision
ever faced by the citizens of the
II mile strand extending from
Kitty Hawk to Whalebone beach,
including Kill Devil Hills and
Mays Head, will be made Tues
day, August 25th when they will
go to the polls to pass upon two
bond issues, totaling about $3.50,
900. One calls for $828,000 for
the construction of waterworks
system for the district. The
other for bonds of $4,000 for the
purchase of Fire Fighting equip
Eent.
The urgent demand for these
improvements grows more APP
parent each year, and for more
than four years, interested people
have been working off and on
to bring about this election. The
community is faced with a SER
ious water problem. At present
all water used is surface water,
and all of it subject to pollution
from the waste from cesspools.
All of it might at any time be
the means of spreading serious
epidemics, to the everlasting
detriment of the beaches.
The bonds would be retired by
a small tax on the property in
the area affected. The beach res
ldents are fortunate in this res
pect, for a lower valuation than
in other parts of the county pre-
walls. Records in the courthouse
show real estate valued at only
20 per cent of its current selling
price, whereas IS per cent is the
basis on Roanoke Island and
other parts of the county. Ocean
front lots, currently selling at
$4,000 to $4,000 each are assessed
at $3.50, no more than four years
ago, when they sold for $1,000
each.
So with the addition of small
tax for the water and fire bonds,
the citizens would then be pay
ing on lower ratio than the
other citizens of the county. In
effect it means that other parts
of the county are paying higher
taxes so real estate owners on the
ocean front can pay less.
Failure of the two propositions
for water and fire protection on
the beaches in the election next
Tuesday would mean a serious
blow to Dare County in general,
