Baying:
•T did it. I don't know what
happened or how. I was under a
spell. I do funny things some
times and everything just goes
blank.”

After His Dory Is Wrecked
By the Associated Press
PROVINCETOWN. Mass., June
28—A story worthy of competing
with the top thrilling tales of the
old whaling days was recorded to
day by a 17-year-old lobster fisher
man who "rode" a 60-foot mammal
bareback.
The strange story was told by
Frank E. Cabral, jr.. after he was
brought ashore by his father yes
terday.
Prank and his dad were hauling
lobster pots in separate dories about
600 yards apart off Race Point when
a whale came to the surface and
submerged.
Suddenly, the whale came up
again—right under Frank's dory.
Both Frank and the boat were
thrown, he estimated, about 15 feet
into the air.
When he came down, the young
fisherman said, he landed on the
whale's back. He dug his fingers
deep Into the soft blubber.
After r short ride of “20 knots
or better." Frank related, the whale
sounded. He took a long chance and
dived off before the mammal sub
merged.
Young Cabral swam as fast as he
could to his fathers dory and was
pulled aboard.
"It was a funny feeling.” Frank
exclaimed as he examined his dory
which had a large hole In the bot
tom.

White House Parley
On Soviet Blockade
Of Berlin Indicated
By th# Associated Frost
A white house conference on the
Russian blockade of ground trans-j
port to Western Berlin was Indicated
today.
There was no public comment on
the situation, which has prompted ;
the United States to rush a fleet of
huge cargo planes to Germany.
But Presidential Secretary Charles
G. Ross, in response to questions at
a news conference, called attention
to thq fact that President Truman
had a noon appointment with Un
dersecretary of State Lovett.
Mr. Ross said he assumed the new
Berlin crisis would come up for dis
cussion then.
As food supplies dwindled for
2,000.000 Berliners, diplomats pre
dicted the Western powers shortly
would make a direct demand on the
Kremlin to lift the traffic noose
from their sectors.
39 Cargo Planes Sent.
Air Force headquarters an
nounced here last night that about
39 of the big four-engine C-54
planes had been ordered to Ger
many to help ferry food and other
urgently needed supplies into the
American sector of Berlin. They
were to leave their bases singly or
In groups as they are readied.
One squadron was to come from
the Alaskan Tactical Air Command,
flying by way of Westover. Mass.,
air force base and the Azores to the
Frankfurt area.
Another was to come from the
Caribbean, flying from the Panama
Canal Zone via Bermuda and the
Azores.
A third squadron was to come
from Bergstrom Air Force base at
Austin, Tex., via Westover.
About 825 officers and men, in
cluding spare crews and mainte
nance personnel, will make the
flight.
Besides the fleet headed for Ger
many, a fourth squadron of about;
13 C-54’s has been ordered from;
the 7th Air Force in Hawaii to
Westover on a long-range training
mission. That flight will involve
about 425 men.
Determination Shown.
The action gave one more indi
cation of the determination of the
United States, along w'ith Britain
and France, to stand fast and resist
Soviet efforts to block rail, highway
and canal transport into the city.
Officials here interpret the Rus
sian actions as designed primarily
to force the three western powers
out of Berlin and then convert it
into the Communist-controlled cap
ital of an Eastern German state.
A British Foreign Office spokes
man said yesterday in London that
the western nations were consider
ing a direct ‘ approach'’ to Moscow,
evidently in an effort to obtain an
order from Prime Minister Stalin
which would reverse the Soviet pol
icies in Berlin and ease the highly,
dangerous situation developing
there.
State Department officials had no
comment on the British statement.
The London spokesman did not
make clear what form the "ap
proach'’ would take, whether in a
single note or three similar notes.
Right to Be in City.
However, arguments the three
powers have made to date against
the Russian actions indicate the
approach probably would be based
on two major points.
1. They could argue that under
agreements made at the end of the
war the Western powers were ac
cepted by Russia without qualifica
tion as joint occupants of the cap
ital of defeated Germany. Their
right to be in the city, they may
also argue, includes the more spe
cific right to transport food and
other’ supplies through the Soviet
zone and that the Russian zone
commander has no legal power to
deny access.
2. They may warn Moscow in stiff
terms that the Soviets have created
a powder keg in Berlin and must
bear full responsibility for the con
sequences if they, persist in their
present course.
Diplomatic speculation on the Rus
sian response to such a note gives
high priority to the possibility that
the Kremlin may propose a new
meeting of the Council of Foreign
Ministers to try to iron out the
difficulties.

ty th« Associated Pross
CHICAGO, June 28 —A wage in

Morgenthau Critical
Of Irgun Supporter;
•y the Associated Frets
NEW YORK, June 28—American
Jewry should cease financial sup
port of dissident groups in the State
of Israel, according to Henry Mor
genthau, jr., general chairman of
the United Jewish Appeal and for
mer Secretary of the Treasury.
Addressing a luncheon gathering
of the appeal yesterday, he said
a number of American Jews are
sending funds "to the destruction
of the State of Israel out of a mis
taken notion that support of any
fighting group in Palestine means
strength to Israel."
Mr. Morgenthau told the workers
for the appeal, which is campaign
ing for $250,000,000:
“When the Irgun attempted to
land arms in violation of the truce
and in complete disregard of the
State of Israel, it was doing more
to shatter the authority of the state
than all the preceding attacks from
the Arab League. • * •
“There is a body of people in this
country—small to be sure—which,
either out of sincerity or false hero
ism, is supporting the dissidents in
the State of Israel with funds.
"Whatever may have been the
virtues of this activity before May
15 (the date the new state was
born), we should recognize that now
such financial support, intended to
weaken the internal authority of the
state, is a stab in the back of Is
rael."

'Captive' Mine Group
Meets to Decide on j
Action Against Lewis
ly th» Associated Press
Representative* of "captive” coal
mine*—owned by steel companies—
met today to decide whether to
charge John L. Lewis with an un
fair labor practice. This group ha*
refused thus far to sign the new
contract with Mr. Lewis’ United
Mine Workers.
The steel companies say Mr.
Lewis’ insistence on a union shop
clause would force them to violate
the Taft-Hartley Act. The law re
quires an election among employes
before an employer can agree to a
union shop—one in which all work
ers must join the union within a
given time.
Mr. Lewis had the union shop
clause in his 1947 contract. The new
agreement changed only the wage
and welfare sections of the 1947
contract, leaving the union shop
intact. The steel companies, whose
coal is used by the steel mills,
balked at signing.
U. 8. Coaid Ask Injunction.
Negotiators Harry M. Moses and
George Thursby met with the rep
resentatives of other steel concerns
to decide on the next move.
They can either sign up by July 6
—when the 10-day industry-wide
vacation ends—or ask the National
Labor Relations Board to go to
court against Mr. Lewis.
The board's general counsel, Rob
ert N. Denham, is authorized under
the Taft-Hartley Act to seek an
injunction where he thinks an
unfair labor practice is being
committed.
Another meeting in the coal sit-J
uation was arranged for this after
noon by trustees of the miners'
welfare and retirement fund.
The trustees are Mr. Lewis, Oper
ator Ezra Van Horn and Senator
Bridges, Republican, of New Hamp
shire.
Fund Has Been Untapped.
The 1947 fund, which grew to
$45,000,000 in 12 months, has been
untapped because Mr. Van Horn
and Mr. Lewis could not agree on
how to distribute the money for
pensions and distressed mining
families.
Mr. Van Horn lost a court fight to
get an Injunction prohibiting pay
ments from the 1947 fund.
That fund was raised by a 10
cent royalty on each ton of coal
mined. The new contract doubles
the welfare royalty to 20 cents a ton.
Death of Eldest Son
Of Gandhi Reported
fty th# Allociot*d Prill
BOMBAY. India. June 28—The
newspaper Harijan said yesterday
that Hiralal M. Gandhi, 61. eldest
son of the late Mohandas K.
Gandhi, died June 19 In Bombay.
Harijan. founded by Mohandas
Gandhi, is published in Ahmedabad.
Bombay newspapers have published
no reports of the son's death.
Hiralal, eldest of Gandhi’s four
sons, long opposed his father's re
ligious and political principles, but
became reconciled with him in 1933.
Several years ago he created a
sensation in India by leaving his
father’s Hindu faith and embracing
the Moslem religion. He changed
his name at that time to Abdullah
Gandhi. About six months later he
became reconverted to Hinduism.
When Hiralal was young, Mohan
das Gandhi stopped his son’s educa
tion and placed him in menial work.
ITiis was when the family was Mvlng
in South Africa. It was reported in
later years that Mohandas regretted
this experiment.
At the time of his reported death,
Hiralal was living in obscurity in
Bombay. He was not known to
have attended his father’s crema
tion following the assassination of
Gandhi last January 30.

U. S. Budget Surplus
Of Near Eight Billion
ro Set New Record
By th« Associated Press
A vast new record will be set by
l budget surplus of nearly $8,000,
>00,000, it was Indicated today, only
;wo days before the end of the Gov
ernment's 1948 fiscal year. Th#
previous high was set 21 years ago.
it was only $1,185,000,006 then.
But it will Just be a figure on
paper.
Most of the money Itself—$6,683,—
>00,000— already has been used to
iower the Federal debt to about
(251,600,000.000, an analysis of
rreasury records showed today.
The rest, about $1,400,000,000 has
;one into the Treasury's cash cof
fers. swelling its cash balance large
,v kept in banks over the country*
o $4,800,000,000.
Reflects Excess Income.
The surplus reflects the excess of
Government Income over spending.
Technically. *3,000.000,000 will be
;ut out of this year's surplus and
n effect transferred to next year
vhen President Truman signs the
foreign aid appropriations bill, into
vhich Congress wrote a provision
for the transfer.
This provision requires that *3,
100.000,000 of the money that actu
»lly Is to be paid out for recovery
ibroad li^ the 12 months beginning
July 1 be charged as an "expense''
in this fiscal year's budget, raising
the book value on spending.this year
by *3.000,000,000 and reducing the
surplus a like amount.
Purpose of the bookkeeping shift
is to bolster next year's budget,
which otherwise might show a defi
cit. This will be done at the ex
pense of the current year's surplus.
The latter, even if cut *3,000.000,000,
will still be more than double the
old record.
Treasury Retires Debts.
The Treasury has been using sur
plus money for debt retirement from
time to time as the cash piled in.
It always keeps at least *2,500,
000,000 in the cash balance to be on
the safe side. Its expenses will be
running about *40,000.000,000 In the
next 12 months and there Is a vast
amount of savings bonds and other
securities that could be turned in
for cash at any time.
The Treasury's newest data show
there was a momentary budget sur
plus of $8,750,000,000 with just one
week to go in the fiscal year.
That was over $1,000,000,000
higher than the $7,482,000,000 sur
plus President Truman has pre
dicted would be achieved at the
end of the year June 30.
But heavy year-end expenses, in
cluding about *700,000,000 in in
terest on the debt, are now expected
to reduce the final surplus for the
12 months ending' Wednesday to
around *7,800,000,000—well over the
President’s estimate despite the In
come tax cut, which he didn't take
into account.
Principal reason for the higher
surplus is the lag in spending under
the *37.727,000,000 Mr. Truman esti
mated it would total. With a week
to go, expenditures were still *2.825,
000,000 short of that figure.
Expenditures Down.
The lower expenditures result in
part from slowness in foreign aid
spending. Those for the European
Recovery Program, budgeted for
(500,000,000 in fiscal 1948, amounted
to only *37.000,000 with Just seven
more days to go.
On the expenditure side, the
Government will be getting off
lighter this year than budget ex
perts expect it will In the next few
years, barring a sharp reduction in
military or foreign aid outlays.
A House Republican leader issued
a statement claiming Congress saved
*2,741.481,291 in- lopping off money
from the President’s 1948 budget re
quests.
Chairman Taber of the Appropria
tions Committee, blasted the execu
tive branch of the Government as
being In a "demoralized condition "
His statement blamed Mr. Truman
for the frantic last-minute labors of
Congress.
“Everywhere there is complete
confusion and inefficiency,” Mr.
Tabor said, referring to the execu
tive department.
"President Truman—evidently to
prove to the country the total in
competence of his administration
failed to present to the Congress the
major budget requests at the open
ing of Congress in January as the
law requires and as has been the
practice for the past 28 years."
Physical Checkup Keeps
Marshall at Hospital
Secretary of State Marshall re
mained in Walter Reed Hospital
today for completion of a rigorous
physical examination which may
keep him away from his desk until
Wednesday or Thursday.
Gen. Marshall entered the hospi
tal for a physical checkup last week.
Associates who have seen the re
ports on the examinations he has
undeigone so far say the only thing
the doctors have found wrong with
him is that he is 68 years old.
