Mulik Predicts
Berlin StuIemute

HOUSTON, Tex, July 6
(AP) - DR.. Charles Malik,
president of the United Nations
General Assembly, says Russia
and the United States are not
likely to go to war over Berlin.
Neither will you kick Russia
out of East Berlin or East
Germany, nor will they succeed
in kicking you out of West
Berlin or West Germany" he
told a crowd of $500 yesterday
at a convention banquet of the
Southern Federation of Syrian
Lebanon American Clubs.
Some kind of adjustment
will be made in order to main
tain the balance of power" he
said. Because of her proximity
to Germany, it may we'll be
that Russia is more prepared to
push than is the West.
I believe that a Stalemate
will result and be maintained
with perhaps a little giving
away from this side. because
neither side wants to risk a
world war"
DR.. Malik is former Foreign
Minister of Lebanon.

The Peiping leaders may feel
that a war scare could hide
these troubles long enough for

There have been recent indi-
cations of belligerency on the
part of the Communists.
Only last month unidentified
Soviet-style MICS attacked and
crippled a United States patrol
plane with IA men aboard
some As miles of the North
Korean coast in international
waters.
The crew was able to shake
of the MICS and bring the
damaged aircraft back to
Japan.
The attack has not yet been
acknowledged by the Reds and
the nationality of the attack
ers not definitely established.
Other factors pointing up Red
belligerence include:
l. Red China has resumed
serious warnings" to the
United States for alleged terri
torial sea and air violations by
ships and planes. These warm

Cause Unknown
The cause of the fire has
never been definitely estab-

generally accepted is that it
was started by a cigarette care

room just outside the main en-
trance to the big tent.
Out of the fire emerged
mountains of financial and le-
gal troubles for the circus, and
safety measures for the GUS

Six circus officials were
charged with involuntary man
slaughter. The coroner's official
finding said they were guilty of
'Wanton or reckless conduct,
either of commission or of
omission where there is a duty
to act"
They pleaded no contest and
received prison or Jail sentences.
And the lessons learned from
the fire were translated into a

decided at a military confer
ence to stir things up in this
critical part Of the world.
1t is almost a year since Red
shelling of the Nationalist
held offshort islands started
the Quemoy troubles.
Although this crisis fizzled
out late last year, the Peiping
regime has been making omin-
Gus motions in other Far East
areas.
Yesterday the aerial battle
eruptsd. 1t was the biggest in
the Formosa area in nine
months.
Five MICS DOwned
Air force headquarters on
Formosa gave this account:
Four Nationalist pilots flying
United States-made Sabrejets
were on a routine patrol south
of the Nationalist-held offShore
Matsu Islands when they were
jumped by IL Soviet-made
MIG fighters. Within Is
minutes four MICS were shot
down.
A fifth MIG was downed by
planes and anti-aircraft fire on
the Palchuan White Dog
Islands, II miles south of the
MatSus.
All the Sabrejets returned
safely to their Northern For
mosa base.
The Nationalist claim the
air battle was provoked by the
Communists the same way last
years tension in the Formosa
Straits began with Red artillery

If the Nationalist alarms
are correct, why does the Pei
ping regime want a crisis?
For one thing, It would be
part of the Reds continuing
campaign to test Western de-
lenses and determination in the
Far East.
Reminder for U. S.
It could also be their way
Of occasionally reminding the
United States, concerned with
Europe and Berlin, that Peip-

with.
The Reds also could use a
new crisis for domestic pur-
poses.
There is evidence to show
Peiping started last years
FormoSa crisis to stir a war
hysteria at home.
In this mood the Communist
leaders were able to whip up
support for their big indus
trialization program.
A new crisis could serve SIM

by taking the peoples minds
off their current problems at

The Reds have admitted

Barnum & Bailey Circus was
in town for a one-day stand.
Just before the matinee start
ed, a Slx-year-old girl with curly
brown hair took her seat under
the big top, joining some 5000
men, women and children.
The atmosphere inside the
tent was gay, the crowd laugh
ing and excited.
Strong Wind Blew
At 2 pm, Merle Evans. vet
eran bandmaSter for the circus
led his 29-pieee band through
a snappy opening number. Then
came the clowns, acronats and
animals.
Outside, strong southwest
wind had sprung up.
At 2:40, Mr.. Evans spotted a
small, horseshoe-shaped flame
creeping up the side OF the
main tent. Suddenly, he
switched the band from ballet
music-the exit tune for the
animal act - to a stirring
march, "The Stars and Stripes
Forever"
For the circus-wiSe. the alb
rupt change was the dreaded
warning that danger lurked in
the big top. Later, Mr.. Evans
explained it could have been
any other snappy tune, but he
picked Sousa's famed march
because it was familiar, and
might avoid a panic.
Flames Spread Fast
Nom entarily, the flame
looked small enough to extln-
guish with a bucket of water.
But within seconds. and
spanked by the wind, the flame
grew into a roaring, horrifying
fire.
BY 3 pm, the flaming en-
veiope which had engulfed
5000 humans was a shoulder
ing bier. The little girl was
among those who perlshed in
the fire and panic.
For days, Hartford was
stunned, full of heartachF. One
sorrow has remained fresh
down through the years - the
mystery of the little girl.
Though the flames left her
pretty face virtually unmarried
she was never identified.

Israel Finds

Israel was finding it difficult TO-

in the wake of David Ben

Minister. He quite last night

position to the Israeli arms
deal with West Germany, and
refused to quit the cabinet. Mr..
Ben-Gurion has no authority
to dismiss them.
Earlier Election Favored
Consequently, Mr.. Ben-Gur-
ions Mapai Party proposed
that the date for Israels next
parliamentary elections be ad-
vanced from Nov. II to Septem-
Der rs to shorten the critical
transition period. Parliament
would have to approve any
changes in the election laws.
The Israeli press has been
calling the arms sold to West
Germany grenade throwers, but
the Defense Ministry in Bonn
said this seemed to be a mis-
translation of the German word
for mortar shells.
Heads Largest Faction
In his letter of resignation
to President Ben-Zvi, Mr.. Ben
Gurion accused the four leftiSt
ministers of violating the prin-
ciple of collective cabinet re-
Sponsibility by their action. All
cabinet members had pledged
in 1857 to support cabinet de-
cisions or resign.
Mr.. Ben-Gurion told news
men that, although he is
obliged by law to continue as a
caretaker Prime Minister, he
could not be forced to sit with
those ministers who violated
the pledge. He said he would
not exercise his right to de-
prive the ministers of their
portfolios by reshuff1ing the
cabinet, but that he would
"just have nothing to do with
them"
Preliminary talks on the for
nation of a new government
were to be held today.
Observers thought it was a
sure bet that Mr.. Ben-Gurion
would form the new govern
ment, because he is the head
of the biggest faction in Par
Lament. His Social Democrat
Mapai Party and affiliated
Arab minority groups had
backed him in approving the
arms deal.
The Achduth Avodah and
Mapam Parties are expected to
be excluded from any new
government Mr.. Ben-Gurion
might form.
Reaction Delayed
The 71-year-old Prime Min
lister said he turned in docu-
ments with his resignation
showing that all cabinet men,
bers attended meeting on De-
cember IA, 1858, when the arms
deal was unanimously APP
proved.
Not until mid-April of this
year, Mr.. Ben-Gurion said, did
the four ministers suddenly ex-
press their opposition to him
in a private letter.
The matter was not raised
again until a German news
paper report on the arms sale
was reprinted by an Israeli
newspaper and the dispute
broke out.
The Nationalist newspaper
daily Heruth accused the gov
eminent of "trampiing on our
national honor, wounding the
feelings of the survivors of Nazi
slaughter and defiling the
memory of our millions of mar
tyrs."
