Funeral on Friday. ~ Fuel, Power (Continued from Page 1) plied for two hours in the morning and twohours at night. Certain small industries will be ordered to stop using power. Hospitals, tele- phone exchanges and important of- fices will use power-generating ap- paratus, The power cuts interfered with operatoins of the Western, military governments. Many offices were darkened and some teleprinter lines were dead. Only the most import- ant offices haddaylight power, Unfavorable weather slowed the Allied air lift this morning. There were unconfirmed reports, meanwhile, that Soviet Marshal Vassily D. Sokolovsky had gone to Moscow for consultations, presum- ably regarding an answer to the Western Allies' protest over the Russian blockade. Radio Interference Wednesday night two American fliers told in a broadcast of strange radio interference in the air cor- ridor to Berlin. A British transport pilot report- ed sighting five Russian Yak fight- er planes in the British corridor. . One of the Soviet fighters "peeled off and flew within a comparative- ly close vicinity" of the transport, a British headquarters announce- ment said. An American supply plane re- turning from Berlin to Wiesbaden was reported overdue today but later Tempelhof air base in: Berlin said it had made a safe emergency landing in the United States zone, Officers said neither plane nor crew was harmed. For the first time in the 20 days the Russian blockade has been in force, American airmen have suc- ceeded in bringing. in more than 1,000 tons of food and supplies to Berlin in a 24-hour period. The goal was reached Wednesday by planes which had added coal to their car- goes. Interviewed on a broadcast army show two American airmen said they experienced 'continuing elec- trical interference" with their com- passes while flynig to Berlin, It ap- peared deliberate, they said. There had been earlier reports of a nuisance beam. Last week United States authorities began an inquiry in an attempt to determine if Rus- sian broadcasting stations were try- ing to pull American pilots off their course. Pilots wandering out of the corridor could be accused by the Russians of violating air rules. Soviet Protest There were new indications that the Russian blockade was pinching both ways. The United States Mili- tary Government made public a complaint from Soviet Marshal Vassily D. Sokolovsky against the halting of deliveries from the Brit-. ish-American occupation zones to the Russian zone. The deliveries were stopped after the Russkhns began their squeeze in Berlin, Replying, Gen. Lucius D. Clay, United States commander, said he hoped "technical difficulties which have necessitaetd this disruption of atrade relations can be overcome at an early date." The cost of beating the Soviet blockade by planes apparently was a heavy won. A British source in London said Britain would not be able to maintain the air ferrying service indefinitely. Meanwhile, the 11 German pre- miers of the Western zone states, who meet at Coblenz in the French zone today, are expected to draw up counter-proposals to the London sxi-power decisions for the future West German constitution and oc- cupation statute. Dr. Reinhold Maier, spokesman of the premiers at the Frankfurt talks, told the Wuerttemburg Baden State Parliament: "We would rather continue with- out legal status, dangerous though that is, than dccept a statute of this kind whose paragraphs might perpetuate themselves as a per- manent evil." Western Germany's two main political parties, «the Christian Democrats and the Social Demo- crats, held meeting" today and in- dications were that they would sup- port the premiers in: 5 Ingispng that Western Ger- many should have a provisional "administrative statute" rather than a permanent "constitution." . Preferring the drafting of the constitution or statute by a com- ttee drawn from the various State Parliaments rather than by direct election. 3. Rejecting the Allied draft of an occupation statute.

Truce team, Col. W. B. McCoy, said he was informed by the Israel liaison officer that "the war is on." The officer told him heavily for- tified Beer Tuvia is being attacked by planes, armored cars and artil- lery. U. N. Truce observers were hastily evacuated from Tel Aviv this morn- ing. All U.N. military personnel left by road convoy for Haifa, there presumably to board American de- stroyers assigned to the U.N. Civil- ain employees have been ordered to remain in Tel Aviv. Israeli Government sources said .they expected the real full-scale war to break out tomorrow. Arab Legion officers in Jerusalem sald they expected the Jews to launch a heavy mortar attack on the old city, scene of many holy shrines of three great religions. Should this occur, evacuation of the 'Arab civilians is possible, the dispatch said. The Arab reply to Count Bérna- dotte's proposals for the demilitari- zation of Jerusalem and Haifa will be published tonight. The last hours of the truce found both Arabs and Jews ready to re- sume full-scale warfare. Count Bernadotte left Haifa this morning for his Rhodes headquar- ters. He looked tired and serious. Most of the United States Medi- terranean Fleet was moving into the Eastern Mediterranean, Three cruisers, two destroyers, a carrier and an escort carrier were headed that way from Istanbul and Naples. But Defence Secretary Forrestal told a Washington press conference Wednesday the movements were according to schedule and had "no significance." Count Bernadotte proposed the truce extension Monday to gain time for further negotiations to- ward permanent peace. He suggest- ed a conference. The U.N. Security Council sent both parties a plea to prolong the truce. ; While the truce waned, Jewish forces were on a spy hunt in Jeru- salem, a Jewish-Arab battleground in the weeks before the cease-fire. Reliable sources there said the Israeli army convicted a Palestine Jew, who formerly had served as major in the British Army, of spy- ing for the Arabs, He was allowed to kill himself to escape public ex- ecution, The extremist Stern Group an- nounced it had executed a pretty Jewish woman named Rosa Beiser after she was convicted on charges of supplying military information to a British intelligence agent in the Holy City.

When Railway union offi- cials entered the conference room in Canadian Pacific Railway's Wind- sor Station building there seemed some hope that a basis for settle- ment would be reached, Then the negotiators exchanged their final offers across the table. The conference broke up. The International Brotherhoods set their strike date June 28, al- most on the eve of the opening of mediation proceedings. Mr. Hall said talks since then had been conducted in the light of a letter of that date sent the railways. It said that the committee would gladly give its co-operation up to the deadline but 'the exigencies of | the situation are such that the] committee cannot accept the re-| spensibility for any further delay in the matter thereafter."

If Wishes Were Horses By Joseph Lister Rutledge There is an old saw, "If wishes were horses, then beggars might ride," that might well be resur- rected: in this day of mor: modern transportation. For human nature changes less rapidly than do our systems. We are still wishfully hoping that our aspirations will crystallize into results without any of the "blood and sweat and tears" that history has proved essential to survival. So much stress has been laid on the importance of our readiness to stand up and ke counted that we have almost come to believe that stating an opinion is an end in itself, rather than merely a guide- pest to an end. If enough people vote for something, we are confid- ent that prosperity and general well-being is assured, and that we can return to our own affairs in the complacent confidence that in casting a ballot we have served all the purposes of good citizenship. Far be it from us to discount the advantages of an electorate that has definite opinions and the impulse to present them, that is moved enoug!: to make clear what is the majority will. But is this the whole of our democratic obliga- tion? Too often we act as if it were; as if, having expressed our will, we can leave it to whatever government we have selected to make it work." We tend to over- | look the very simple but unassail- | able fact that votes, as such, do not | create anything. Governments can | only distribute the benefits that the people themselves have pro- | vided. Our votes are' simply sign- | posts. If we 'are to arrive any- | where, we must go on from there. | To vote for any party in the belief | that it can bring about a millen- | nium is only to confuse ourselves, | for millenniums are not the pro- | duct of hope. If hope is to be made real it | must be followed by the sweat | and tears of effort and devotion. | Otherwise democracy is a rever- berating, but none the less an | empty shell. We are told' that if | we vote for some particular party | or ticket, we will be secured, em- ployed and protected. But there | is always a perhaps. What do the | people who vote for a ticket, or | even the people who don't do | about it? | It is hardly enough to say that they will distribute 'already exist- ing benefits, for will the providers | | || of these benefits continu: to pro- vide on such terms? Neither com- munism, nor soclalism nor liberal nor conservative can assure last- ir3 benefits tha' the people theme selves have not worked to provide. You cannot vote in an millennium. You have to make it. Czech Sokol Actions Upset Red Leaders By A. I. GOLDBERG Prague, July 8 (AP).--The Cze- choslovak Government will investi- gate a Sokol Congress that evidenc- ed public enthusiasm for Former President Eduard Benes and apathy for his Communist successor, Kle- ment Gottwald. Paraders at the Slet, or congress of the cultural and athletic Sokol Society Tuesday cheered for Benes and passed Gottwald in silence. Prague radio said Wednesday ministers had been ordered to re- port on "results of the Slet" at the next meeting of the Communist-led Cabinet. "The question of future partici- pation of foreign delegations in the Slet will be studied," th» broadcast said. Yugoslav, Russian, Polish, Triest- ine and Bulgarians groups marched in Tuesday's parade, which also pro- duced cheers for Premier Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia, lately criticized by. the Cominform. Another government move signal- led the start of a purge of Czecho- slovakia's army. The army's edu=- cation director, Gen. J. Prochazka, wrote in the Communist newspaper Rude Pravo that political instruc- tion was beginning in the military establishment, Demonstrations for Benes contin- ued Wednesday and last night. Police broke them up. Eye-witness accounts indicated at least 36 per- sons were arrested. The police picked up half a dozen late Wednesday night from a group singing patriotic songs before Com- munist Party headquarters. About the same time, some 2,300 policemen blocked off about a third of Prague's Central Square in an apparent effort to forestall more demonstrations there. One big group cried, "those who are not afraid will join us," while demonstrating for Benes. Hustled out of there, it went to a railroad station and sang the na- tional anthem before the pedestal of a statue of Woodrow Wilson. ... and Dont You FORGET To Order The DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ...
