Truman Says He Approved
Gen. Marshall's Statement
By tht A»sociat«d Pres* '
President Truman said today that
he approved in advance Secretary
of State Marshall's statement that
the United States intends to stay in
Berlin and will “deal promptly''
with issues raised by Russian star
vation tactics.
Beyond that, Mr. Truman refused
to say anything at a news con
ference about the Soviet blocade
of Berlin.
Meanwhile, there was mounting
evidence that the Western powers
have developed a Joint plan to com
bat the blockade.
The United States also moved t<i
bolster its small military forces in
Europe by building up air strength
there.
About 30 long-range, heavy
bomb-carrying B-29s either were in
the American zone or on the way
there today. This is three times
the number of Super-Fortresses
which ordinarily have been visit
ing in Europe on training flights
at any one time, except for one
trip by a 30-plane group last spring
Jet Planes to Arrive.
Until the Strategic Air Com
mand started the so-called rota
tional flights of B-29 units to Ger
many last summer there were no
American bombers of any type in
Europe. The last of them left in
the months immediately following
victory in Europe.
Also, for more than a year the
United States fighter plane force in
Europe has consisted of a single
group of 75 World War II type air
craft. This force, however, is being
doubled in numbers and more than
doubled in effectiveness. By Sep
tember, there will be a 75-piane
group of F-80 jet fighters on the
scene, transferred there from the
Panama Canal Zone.
The present strength of the Army
in Europe (the bulk in Germany,
with only about 5.000 men on duty at
Trieste* is approximately 96,000. Of
these, about 25 per cent are combat
troops, roughly the same number
make up constabulary force and the
remainder are service troops. How
ever, all troops in Europe, whether
combat, constabulary or service, have
had combat training and could be
go used in an emergency.

should "protect the rights of states,
provide adequate central authority
and contain guarantees of individual
rights and freedoms." The military
governors will review the draft.
“If it does not conflict with these
general principles, the military gov
ernors will authorize its submission
for ratification,” Gen. Clay said.

Fame as Painter of Indians
Traced by Reiss to Boyhood Tale
Winold Reiss shows one of his favorite paintings to Joan
Rowe, 15, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Rowe, 3223 Twelfth
street S.E. —Star Staff Photo.
When Winold Reiss was a child
in Germany his playmates told him
there were no more Indians in
America.
He refused to believe it. After all,
hadn't he read James Fenimore
Cooper and other wonderful stories
of tribal lore?
So he decided to find out for him
self. And that is one reason why
today he is an internationally known
painter of the American Indian.
Several of his pastels are on dis
play for the first time here in the
gallery of the Playhouse Theater,
: 727 Fifteenth street N.W. Many were
! done in an average of 12 hours,
because his Indian models were as
restless as children and wouldn’t
maintain a pose for longer periods.
Officials of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs .who attended the preview
yesterday said that, as far as
authenticity is concerned, the paint
ings were flawless.
‘To me American Indians are
poetic and appealing people," the
62-year-old artist commented. “They

, oy a simple majority in referendums
it will come into force and be bind
ing on all states.”
Gen. Clay said the new govern
ment will be established 30 days
after the constitution is approved.
Gen. Robertson said the Germans
in changing state lines should
"avoid the creation of states too
large or too small."
Gen. Koenig offered the “occupa
i tion statute.” In its final form, yet
to be worked out, it will define the
relationship between the new Ger
man government and the Western
powers. Russia and the Western
powers have made no progress to
ward writing a peace for all Ger
many.
Gen. Koenig said' the Allied pro
posal was that the military gover
nors w'ill grant legislative, execu
tive and judicial powers to the Ger
man government, but "reserve to
tthemsfilves such powers .as. are
necessary to insure fulfillment of
the basic purpose of the occupa
i tion.”

RAF to Fly at Night.
Royal Air Force officials said the
British will fly their transports into
Berlin at night, as the Americans
I are doing, and carry enough gaso
line to avoid refueling delays in the
city.
Maj. Gen. E C. Herbert. British
commandant in Berlin, voiced con
1 fidence that the air shuttle opera
tion would build up supplies “to
last a long time.”
American and British officials said
30 trains are waiting to run sup
plies to Berlin if the Russians open
the Helmstedt-Berlin railway line,
which they closed 11 days ago to
repair "technical difficulties.”
A British transport official
charged yesterday that the Rus

are such sensitive people, just like
artists and poets. Their thoughts
are magnificent.”
Since his earliest contacts with
Indians he has got along well because
he respected their ceremonials, such
as maintaining 10 minutes of silence
on beginning a visit to a tribe.
Mr. Reiss, who now is a professor
1 of art at New York University,
recalled the difficulties of finding
! Indians after he arived in America
about 35 years ago.
At first the tribes were slow to ac
cept him. But when the Indians
finally welcomed him into a tribe,
they named him Beaver Child be
cause of his apparently indefatig
able energy. The solemn comment
of so taciturn a people each time
he recreated them on canvas was
high praise.
Mr. Reiss has been painting since
he was three years old. The work
of his father, Fritz, who tutored
him, also is esteemed in art circles.
The elder Reiss painted landscapes
■ in the Black Forest of Germany.

bureau (Cominform) to answer
for construed and • fabricated
acts,”)
Cominform Bulletin Missing.
The Cominform bulletin did not
make its usual appearance here this
morning. There was no explanation.
The bulletins have been printed in
Belgrade, which has been the. Com
inform's headquarters for months.
Borba published a photograph of
I Tito visiting near Belgrade yester
day. He was dressed in civilian
clothes.
Borba reported that messages
from the <ymy and the party are
manifesting unity and “unlimited
confidence” in the present Yugoslav
leadership.
Thr paper said Yugoslav soldiers
greet Tito, founder and supreme
commander of the army, and hail
the “heroic Central Committee,"
which it pictured as strengthening
Socialism and the country’s economy.
The division that chose Tito to
represent it at the party Congress
was the first unit he formed in 1941,
when he was a guerrilla leader. It
stayed with him throughout the
war.
In announcing his selection, the
division said that under his leader
ship it and the w’hole army had
traversed “a long and glorious
road.”
Tito Hailed by Yugoslavs
In Belgrade Appearance
LONDON, July 1 (-4*).—Yugoslavs
hailed Premier Marshal Tito yes*
terday on his first public appear*
ance since the Cominform knocked
him.
Youth brigades cried, "Tito, Tito,”
when the marshal showed up in
Belgrade to inspect their construc
tion job. Tito, who stayed two
hours, had high-ranking Commu
nists and army officers in tow.
Tito’s public appearance yester
day was the first in more than two
weeks. Where he had been was an
official secret. But the most reliable
information in Belgrade last night
was that it was somewhere on the
Dalmatian coast.
Since the Cominform blast, he
had been reported in Moscow, in
Belgrade, on an Adriatic island and
in his summer capital of Bled—de
pending on the source.
Plainly he still had the support
of Yugoslav Communists. His in
specting party included Gen. Alex
ander Rankovic, Interior Minister;
Gen. Koca Popovic, army chief of
staff, and Vladimir Bakario. presi
dent of the Crotian People’s Re
nublie.
Belgrade stores and public places
still showed photographs of Tito
and Prime Minister Stalin of Russia
side by side, as usual.
An official Yugoslav announce
ment said Dushan Dimlnich had
been appointed the new minister
to Albania and already was in
Tirana.
Some 2,000 Yugoslavs parading In
Prague yesterday shouted, “Long
live Comrade Marshal Tito.’* They
were answered by onlookers with
“Cheers for Tito.” The Yugoslavs
were in the Czechoslovak capital for
a physical culture congress.
Duclos Scores Yugoslavs.
Jacques Duclos, secretary of the
French Communist Party, criticized
the Yugoslav stand today in the
French Communist newspaper L’Hu
manite of Paris.
He said the Yugoslav reply to the
Cominform issued Tuesday is a
“bunch of irrelevant assertions, of
proofless denials and, in fact, con
stitutes an attempt to escape the
indisputable, Marxism-Leninism-in
spired arguments of the information
bureau.”
"The fact that Yugoslav leaders
failed to publish the information
bureau resolution is. sufficient evi
dence of their argument’s weakness
as well as of their fear to enlighten
their people,” Duclos wrote.
He and his co-secretary, Etienne
Fajon, were at the meeting at which
the Cominform blamed the Yugo
slav Communists. No Yugoslavs
were. Other nations in the bureau
are Russia, Romania, Hungary,
Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Poland
and Italy.
Yugoslav Claims Blasted.
Austria's Communist Party took
full advantage of the Tito-Comin
form dispute to blast Yugoslavia's
territorial claims on Carinthla, in
Southern Austria.
These claims, backed by the Soviet
Union, have been among the chief
stumbling blocks in the way of com- j
pleting a peace treaty for Austria.
The Hungarian Communist Party;
issued a statement in Budapest de
claring that Hungarian workers
have accepted the Cominform reso
lution censuring Tito and “under
stood with dismay that Yugoslavia's
Communist Party continues its er
foneous policy.” ' .
Moscow's press continued today its
editorial silence on the Yugoslav |
question.
Kawakita Trial Told of Boast
He'd Be ’Big Shot’ in U. S.
By th« Associated Press
LOS ANGELES, July 1.—A Fed
eral jury had before it today testi
mony that Tomoya Kawakita once
boasted he would return to the
United States after Japan won the
war and be a “big shot.”

trial for treason. He is charged
with 15 overt acts of brutality to
Allied prisoners at the Oe.vama

with Kawakita while a prisoner of
war at the camp where the de
fendant served as intepreter.
"He boasted that he would come

NEW YORK—NO MORE DIGGING FOR NICKELS—ITS A DIME NOW—Workmen at the Times

New York 5-Cenf Fare
Ends After 44 Years
•y the Associated Pros*
NEW YORK, July 1.—More than
a million New Yorkers Hustling to
work on the city's complex trans
portation system fumbled for dimes
instead of nickels in the morning
rush hour today.
The end of the 44-year-old, 5
cent fare,- effective last midnight,
was accomplished smoothly, the
Board of Transportation said.
But many a subway and bus
straphanger was confused.
Riders who forgot to have a dime
ready formed long lines at subway
change booths. Many passengers
transferring from rapid transit to
city-operated bus routes forgot to
get transfers at the beginning of
their trips. They had to pay addi
tional fares.
Other riders on private bus lines
put 7 cents Instead of nickel fares
in coin boxes. Pares on city-oper
ated buses went to 7 cents, though
most private companies retain the
5-cent fare. Pennies registered as
dimes In privately-operated buses,
snarling drivers’ fare records.
The changeover was met by some
grumbling—and a great deal of
stolid indifference.
The fare rise was prompted by
prospects of a $52,000,000 deficit this
year in operation of the 239-mile
system of underground and elevated
lines.

military instruments and devices.
At the time of his death, he was
perfecting a system to map geologi1
cal conditions, which associates said,
was expected to double the Nation’s
oil reserves.
Mr. Rieber also perfected a micro
magnetometer for aerial navigation
instruments and a radio altimeter
system. Some of his military in
ventions included a method of meas
uring muzzle velocity of shells,
magnetic means for detecting sub

with sharp or oval features and
light brown hair.
Police squad cars swooped down
on the Sherrill road and Beach
drive area in Rock Creek Park about
7:20 p.m. yesterday after reports
that a seminude man had been seen.
Three Girls Still Sought.
It was the second such report since
the Bardwell girl’s murder. A woman
reported a half-nude man attempted
to molest her as she sat in her
parked car at West Beach drive
'and Wise road N.W. Monday.
Police Chief Robert J. Barrett re
newed a request that three colored
girls who were seen running from
the area of the slaying communicate
with police.
MaJ. Barrett believes the three
may have either seen the actual
killing or seen the murderer imme
diately afterward.
The murder weapon—believed to
be a sharp knife or razor—has not
been found despite intensive search
of the area with a mine detector.
The Bardwell girl left her home
late Sunday afternoon to ride her
bicycle to a playground about three
blocks away. Her body was found
in a heavily wooded area about 25
feet ofT an old road leading into the
park from Seventeenth street and
Colorado avenue N.W.
Nixon, Mundt fo Consult
Dewey on New Red Curbs
fty th« Associated Preti
Representative Nixon, Republican,
of California said today he and
Representative Mundt, Republican,
of South Dakota will consult Gov.
Dewey before they try again to get
a Communist-curb bill through
Congress. .'
The Californian told reporters a
new measure will be written with
the advice of the Republican presi
dential nominee “because he ap
parently will have to pass on it when
it reaches the White House, any
way.”
The House approved the original
Mundt-Ni::on bill, but it died in the
Senate during the adjournment rush
last month.
The bill was an issue in the Oregon
Reublican primary campaign in May
when Gov. Dewey and Harold E.
Stassen carried their fight for con
vention delegates directly to the
voters in a public debate.
Gov. Dewey opposed outlawing
the Communist Party, which oppo
nents of*'the bill claimed it would
do. Supporters of the bill claimed
it would not outlaw the party, but
only subversive activities of the
party.
Mr. Nixon said the wording of
the new measure will depend to
some extent on United States-Rus
sian relations when the new Con
gress meets in January.
“It may well be that we will find
it necessary to write an even
stronger bill,” he added.
Switzerland has exported over 2,
000,000 watches a month in the last
year.
