'The newspaper said many Alba- SPOT ANIA nians were fleeing into Yugoslavia, including army officers and mili- tia men. It was one of these mili- tia who said he had received ord- ers to shoot anyone showing sym- pathy for Tito. Albania has aligned herself with the Cominform (Communist Inter- national Information Bureau) in its denunciation of Tito. The split has cut the tiny country off from land communication with the other So- viet satellites, since Albania's only neighbors are Yugoslavia and Greece, The newspaper quoted an Alba. nian militiaman as saying "most of the people don't believe in the slan- ders against Yugoslavia.' newspaper said hundreds of per- sons, including heads of local gov- ernments and other officials, have been arrested.

Britain: andthe - United 'States: are expected to throw a mighty ef- fort into the western air shuttle to keep the Russian<blockaded city supplied with food, fuel and other necessities. The firm stand and the airlift, these circles say, will be the west- ern allies' answer to the geustion "what is in the cards for Berlin?" Now that the four-power talks have broken: down. Here is the situation as it is viewd in this Russian-throttled city: In the confusion of diplomatic talk over trade, currency, finance and the airlift, the real issues at stake can be lost in a maze of sub- sidiary problems. The main issue is simple enough, although none of the big four have been so undi- | plomatic as to say so in simple | language. The Soviet Union wants to domi- nate Germany. To do so, the Rus- sians must smash 'the proposed West German 'state and its econo- mic recovery. By forcing the west- ern allies from Berlin, the Russians could undermine the prestige of the west, not only in Western Germany, but in all Western Europe. Europe would see in the fate of | Ber}in what it saw.in Munich in 1938. So the Russians have set out to drive the westerners from Berlin. Meanwhile, the western powers, reviewing three years of comprom- ises, broken promises and constant retreats before the Soviet Union, decided to stand firm.

HIGHTOWER Washington, Sept. 27--(AP)--The complete collapse of secret talks with Russia over the Berlin crisis advanced the cold war to a new and highly explosive stage today. United States authorities are frankly uncertain what may hap- pen next. Both President Truman and Tho- mas E. Dewey, Republican nominee for thé United States Presidency in the Nov. 2 elections, are being kept .closely posted while the United States, Britain and Prance take their case against the Russian bloc- kade of the German capital into the public arena of the United Na. tions Security Council. The failure of the secret diplo- macy which the western powers nave been practising in the hope of reaching a settlement with the Kremlin was revealed by the United States State Department last mid- night. At that hour the department made public a 3,000-word note ac- cusing Russia of bad faith in the Berlin negotiations and of creating *a threat of international peace." The difference is that from here on the jssue will be Pelore the Se- + curity Council meeting in Paris wish world public opinion as a stake. . Russia's continued membership in the U.N., is in grave doubt. New east-west clashes in Berlin are feared 'here. The dangers of shooting incid- ents that could lead to open con- flict are not ruled out by best in- formed United States authorities. These experts are more uncer tain than ever as to how far the Russians will go in creating inci- dents aimed at making Berlin un- tenable for the western powexs., and Ambassador Walter Bedell Smith of the United States had two meetings with Stalin and For- eign Minister Molotov. The firs: of these took place Aug. 2 in the Kremlin. Stalin, at the end of two hours of talk, indicated he was ready to settle the Berlin situation without delay. He -said, the State Department records showed, that Russian oc- cupation. currency should be used throughout Berlin and that simui- ' BERLIN SITUATION (Continued on Page 2) Armored nyt nd The envoys of Britain and France |, 27 -- (AP) -- The | ai As a fitting conclusion to the observance of Army Week in Oshawa, officers and members of the 11th Armored (Ontario) Regiment, mémbers of Post 43, Canadian Legion and veterans marched to Memorial Park | drapea drum with the regimental band in | "the large crowd in the foreground. yesterday afternoon for 'a dr d service GE .

Assistant Chief Oster was a priv- ate in B Company of the 20th Bat- talion which took part in the lib- eration of the Belgian city on the last day of the First World War. Big Celebration "There were nine men 'in our platoon killed that_ morning and 17 in our company lost their lives," he recalled today. "Thre of those* killed were originals who had been with the battalion for four years," Assistant Chief Oster was himself an "original" of the battalion. As the Canadian trops en- tered the city there was a big cele-~ bration. The church bells played Tipperary, a tune that had been rehearsed silently for months in anticipation of the liberation. "The citizens lined the streets and cheered us as we marched along the streets. Some ran up to us and hugged and kissed us, shout- ing 'Brave liberators,' and 'Vive les Canadiens." And now, 30 years after the battle, I am very pledsed to re- ceive this medallion." On one side of the medallion is the City of Mons crest and the words, "Ville de Mons." On the other side are inscribed the words, "Le Ville de Mons a ses vaillants liberateurs du Corps Canadien, 11 Novembre, 1918." The covering letter which came with the medallion, signed by Vet- erans Affairs Minister Gregg reads: "I am quite sure that, as I do, you will recall clearly the liberation of Mons in the final days of the First Great War, I think you will remember the enthusiasm of its people, and particularly the grati- tude of the people as expressed by Monsieur V.

Mr. Saunders said some muni- cipalities may have to cat power for as long as 15 minutes in every hour.

Four Powers Told 'Get Out of Berlin' Or Stop Arguing Berlin, Sept. 27-- (AP) -- Berlin's cupying powers: today they should settle their differences. . The proposal was in a resolution drafted by the Executive Branch of the government and read. to a meeting of the City Council by Acting Mayor Ferdinand Friedens- burg. The resolution asked, hewever, that "so long as the occupation of Germany continues" Berlin should remain under four-power centrol and that "no one power have any more influence in Berlin than any other." This was a\slap at the Russians, who have been seeking to over- throw the legally-elected govern. ment and achieve full Communist control of the city. THE WEATHER Clear today and Tuesday.

Sokolovsky, the Russian command- er in Germany, has been recalled to Moscow for consultation, There was no official confirmation. quota and householders were the the Foreign Secretary's speech. Bevin accused the Russians of ine sincerity, untruthfulness and evase ion. He declared, "with all the sol= emnity at my disposal" that "if the black fury, the incalculable disaster of atomic war should fall upon us, all I can say is, that one power . , . will alone be responsible for the evils which may be visited upon mankind." When he had finished talking, all except the Russian delegates and their satellites jumped to their feet to cheer and applaud the British delegate, Cries of "Bravo" and "Tres Bien" could be heard outside the Assembly Hall. Vishinsky strode from the hall, his face set in a grim mask, imme. diately after Bevin had finished. As he did in a speech before the British House of Commons last Wednesday, Beyin again referred gravely to the possibility of a third world war in this generation. He added a new gloomy note in a hint Britain already envisages the end of the United Nations un- less the east-west conflict can be solved. "If we cannot proceed on a world basis as we had hoped, we must proceed on a regional basis," he | said. | Bevin replied directly by name to | Russian Deputy Foreign Minister | Vishinsky's speech Saturday. 1 that speech the Russian called wh | the "big five" (Britain, Russia, Chi- | na, France and the United States), | to reduce their armaments by one= | third immediately and proposed formation of an international con- | trol body in the security council to ban atomic weapons. | "How on earth are we to regard the latest proposals put forward by Mr. Vishinsky? We must be forgiv- |en if we are suspicious. As you all | know his country is a sealed book." | The burly British Labor Leader [traced the political failure of the United Nations since its beginning | and then said: "The reason I am afraid (for the | U.N.) 'is fundamentally a simple | one. It is that although they often put forward a point of view which cannot be disregarded and which should be intelligently discussed, a minority in these matters reso« lutely refused to accommodate ite self even in the slightest degree to the wishes and desires of the ma. jority." Then, speaking "with all the sol emnity at my disposal," Bevin de« clared: "If the black fury, the incalcula« ble disaster of atomic war, should fall upon us, all I can say is that one power, by refusing its co-oper< ation in the control and develop= ment of those great new forces for the good of humanity will alone be responsible for the evils which may be visited upon mankind." 'The root of the world's troubles, he said, is the "abuse of the veto" in the Security Council.
