BERLIN STAND REAFFIRMED— WhiIe the East Berlin Communists were celebrating the 10th anniversary of the partitioning of Berlin, the U. 8. stand against abandoning the city to any “free city” proposal which would make it a prey to the Reds was being reaffirmed in Augusta, Ga., where Secretary of State John Foster Dulles visited President Eisenhower. Emphasizing this stand was a statement by Gen. Henry Hodes, U. S. Army commander in Europe, who said in Berlin that the U. S. would treat a Communist blockade of Berlin as an attack on the U. S. itself.

Communes Lead To Chinese Dissension Communes Chiefly Forced-Labor Camps TOKYO (UPD — Peiping Radio indicated today that the beehivelike “communes” which have swallowed up most of China's halfbillion peasants are a source of widespread dissension in the Com-munist-conquered country. A Peiping broadcast said 99 per cent of China’s farm population is now living in communes, while “some experiments have begun in the cities.” It a tided, however, that large-scale development of city communes is likely only “when the skeptics and doubters have been convinced.” “In the cities, intellectuals still have misgivings about the establishment of communes the broadcast said. “The urgent task at present is to quickly achieve unity of views among all members of the party and among the people.” This appeared to mean that Communists as well as non-Com-munists oppose the creation of the new institutions, which are in effect little more than forced-labor camps. This week’s Time magazine reports that inmates of a commune outside the Portuguese China-coast colony of Macao rise at 5 a.m.. go through three hours of calisthenics and military drill, and then work straight through to midnight with three 15-minute breaks for meals. “The rural communes have not had time to consolidate their organizations, perfect their working systems, systematically settle the new questions concerning production, distribution, livelihood and amenities, management and administration...” the Red broadcast said. “This is because the communes were only recently set up. The party has had insufficient experience in successfully running them.” Despite these shortcomings, the Red radio said, the Communist Central Committee in China indorsed the commune system at the meeting Dec. 10 at which Mao Tse-tung decided to quit his job as president of Red China. There has been speculation that Mao actually was forced to resign because of serious opposition to the communes. The fact that the Reds waited more than a week before making a public announcement of the committee's indorsement of the system appeared to suggest trouble behind the scenes. It waited almost as long to announce Mao’s resignation, apparently in hopes of easing the shock to rank and file members of the party. Twenty per cent of the nation’s food budget last year went to buy dairy products. A scientific instrument has been developed which can detect scratches on metal one-millionth of an inch deep.

The outlook for a quick settlement was dim. Negotiators for the striking Newspaper and Mail Deliverers Union and the Newspaper Publishers Association, which represents the affected newspapers, were standing by, prepared to resume bargaining talks. But no new meetings were scheduled. Meanwhile, Mayor Robert F. Wagner was to meet today at city hall with federal mediators Walter A. Maggiolo and Frank H. Brown to discuss possible means to end the strike, which has resulted in the furloughing of an estimated 20,000 newspaper employes and dealt a severe blow to advertisers. Wagner, who has offered his services in the dispute, intervened for the first time Wednesday, meeting for an hour and a half with Joseph F. Finnegan, chief of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. Finnegan returned to Washington Wednesday after a four day effort to .end the walkout of the union’s 4,500 drivers and other distribution workers.

Dollar Continuing To Shrink In Value Personal Income Is Higher In Nation WASHINGTON (UPD — Americans had more cash in their pockets this year than ever before in history. But it didn’t buy as much as what they had last year. The Commerce Department reported Wednesday night that personal income this year rose an estimated IM per cent higher than last year — mostly due to higher federal benefit payments. However, the department said the increase failed to offset a 2 per cent/increase in the cost of living. Hie report underlined that the dollar has continued to shrink in value —a situation that has caused Senate Democratic leaders to call for a fun investigation of means to curb inflation. The report also bolstered the view of government economists who believe the nation's economy has gained pre-recession proportions and is poised on the threshold of expansion to new highs. One top-level source estimated that the gross Rational product—the total value of ail goods and services produced in the nation—would hit an annual rate of 453 billion dollars in the final three months of the year. Even when this estimate is adjusted to allow for price increases, the figure is just a shade below the mid-1957 'record. The Commerce Deparmtment based its full-year estimates on actual 11-month totals. Indiana Corn Crop Exceeds 1957 Total WASHINGTON (UPD — The Agriculture Department Wednesday fixed the 1958 Indiana corn crop at 277,389,000 bushels, 17,662,000 more than the 1957 production and 36,993,000 more than the 10-year average. The Department’s final production report of the year placed the Indiana wheat crop at 40,992,000. compared with 32,666,000 in 1957 and a 10-year average of 36,177,000. WEATHER AIDS Continued from page one isolated area of Camp Pendleton was almost completely controlled. Elwood Stone, U. S. forest fire investigator, said. Jerry Stewart, 21, admitted firing a tracer bullet Sunday during target practice. Stone said the glowing-hot bullet touched off a fire which Stewart was unable to beat out. Stone Said Stewart was unaware that a tracer bullet was among the shells he was using. No charges have been filed against the man. The average temperature i n Bermuda is 70 degrees. The price of fuel oil in the U.S. went from $1.53 a, barrel in 1946 to $3.27 in September, 1958.
