Sends Notes
To- Moscow
On Air Link
BY the Associated Press


The United States, Britain
and France today delivered
notes to Moscow strongly de-
nounclng the Soviet Unions
implied threat to West Berlin's
air corridors.
The notes were delivered at
the Foreign Ministry in Moscow
by messengers from the West
ern embassies. Their contents
will be released simultaneously
at 6 pm. (EDT) in Washing

COW.
Meanwhile top United States
officials and Western diplomats
held a 14-hour meeting on the
Berlin crisis at the State
Department.
No official announcement
was made of what went on, but
British Ambassador Sir Harold

series of meetings which we
have"
Secretary of State RuSk

Not a Crisis Farley
Mr. Mcnamara said it was

Asked whether military meas

fense Secretary would say only,

French Ambassador Herve
Alphand said "firmness exists"
among the Western allies
against the Communists Ber-
lin threat. He added that the
French view against holding
negotiations with the

Berlin has not changed"
The latest allied notes were
replying to a Soviet note
Wednesday which accused them
of using the air corridors for
the transport of subversive
West German elements to West
Berlin.
"Flagrant Breach"
The Russians said this was a
flagrant breach of the 1945
agreement which created the
corridors.
With the Berlin situation
being what is is. allied diplo-
mats Immediately concluded
that the Russians were laying
the basis for an eventual at
tempt to stop civil air lines

agreed on the wording of the
notes. They had previously re-
iected the Moscow charges in
public statements.
The Western capitals pre-
rejected the Moscow
charges in public statements.
The White House saw the
Kremlin allegation as a threat
to interfere with flights to West
Berlin, and voiced Solemn

fired back and forth across the
Iron Curtain.

BERLIN, Aug. 26 CAP). -
Mai. Gen. Albert Watson II,
United States commandant in
Berlin, protested personally to
the Soviet commandant today
against what he called the
illegal regulations of the East
German Communists in limit
ing crossing points between
East and West Berlin.
Gen. Watson blamed the
Russian, Col. Andrei l. So
lovyev,, in part for incidents
arising from the new rules.
Irate West Berliners have
shouted insults at Soviet troops
and tried to overturn Soviet
jeeps. Last night several thou
sand west Berliners demonstra-
ted against the communists.
Angry crowds gathered today
at two Communist pass offices
newly opened in West Berlin.
West Berlin police closed the
offices a few hours after the
Communists opened them in
West Berlin elevated railroad
stations to issue permits for
entry into the Red-ruled part
of the city. They were at the
Zoo station, West Berlin's big
gest, and at WeStkreuz.
Several hundred Berliners
had made applications.
At the Zoo someone had pen
cilled an ironic sign: Entrance
to the concentration camp-one
west mark (25 centS)."
The police appeared at 1:30
pm. and told people the offices
were closed and would not re-
open. About a thousand curious
West Berliners gathered quickly.
Most seemed to approve, but
there we're some whistles from
disappointed people who had
hoped to visit relatives in East
Berlin.
A United States spokesman
said the Allied commandants
yesterday issued a secret order
to Mayor Willy Brandt's West
Berlin government to see that
the offices were not opened
They did open this morning,
however.

GIANT BLUE MARLIN
LANDED BY TEEN-AGER

HATTERAS.- A 427-pound blue
marlin was boated here Tuesday,
which normally would not be con-
sidered unusual as dozen or more
of the 80 giant billfish boated OF
released during the past two weeks
weighed more than 400 and some
more than 500 pounds.
The Tuesday catch, however, was
unusual. 1t was made by en- at
tractive 19-year old girl, who
weighed approximately only one
fifth of the great blue marlin she
boated. The teen-ager's weight was
only IS pounds.
She was Melinda Lucas, Nan
tucket, Mass, and she conquered
her fish in a battle that lasted only
one hour and 40 minutes, in the
waters close by Diamond Lightship

living up to its name "The Blue
Marlin Capital of the World"

of three taken on Tuesday. Of the
other two, Bert Thurma, Baltimore,

"The so-called dark ridge road

first publicity when Leona Jennette
went before the Dare County Com
missioners and tried to get a public
road established through Bateman
Millers front yard without paying
for it and at the County's expense,
leading in to their property. The
County Commissioners could not
take action on her request as this
little private path had never been

owned his property for five years
with no complaints, and his lot has
