Tito Backers Fie Plea With Stalin

LONDON, July 2 (UP)—Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia, excom-

municated from the Cominform’

appealed directly to the head man Premier Josef Stalin—today for a complete reversal of the Comin-

to the crisis; French Ambassador Rene Massigli, and British For- | eign Undersecretary Sir William | Strang. | Both Mr. Douglas and Mr. gtrang had clear mandates from their governments for taking -a firm position. But the French position was Jets firm. France has been worried about possible consequences of a strong stand.

Blockade May Prove Double-Edged Sword

BERLIN, July 2 (UP)—Russia’s starvation blockade of Berlin became a two-edged sword today with the Soviets feeling its effects more than the western

powers against whom it was di- I

rected. ¢ Signs appeared that the Russians were short of flour, penicillin, insulin and streptomycin. The apparent shortages, revealed by indirect efforts of Russia to barter with the western powers, gave weight to persistent reports that the Soviet authorities soon will ease or end the surface hlockade. : ‘ In near perfect weather, Amer-

fcan and British transport planes|

—mostly American C-548— shuttled supplies in faster than they can be used up. .An American spokesman said that by July 15, the air armadas would have flown in’ sufficient food to maintain the ration in the western sectors for the entire month. That would be in addition to food stocks for one month giready on hand. Thus, by the middle of this month, there will be enough food to assure Berliners the present ration until Sept. 1. And. still the air effort was building up. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, U. 8. military governor, who two: weeks ago said that he believed air lifts could supply western Berlin with food only for a short emergency, was understood to be surprised and delighted. Coal, fuel and gasoline may take priority over food in the supply effort after mid-July, it was said. Arrival of one automobile from the western zone by the Autobahn across the Russian zone gave brief hope that the: blockade might have been relaxed. But it was’ quickly learned that the Italian driver had a ‘special Soviet permit, and American border guards said there were no signs the Russians planned to ease the border closing.

The appeal was made by more than 15,000 members of the Yugoslav People’s Front in a telegram to Stalin on behalf of their lead-

The telegram to Stalin came after the Russian Communist Party had issued a statement that

The time of the all-union committee meeting- was not. given. But the timing of the broadcast, if not the meeting itself, made it plain that Tito’s defiant rejoinder to the denunciation was rejected with {his new sanctioning of the Cominform hatchet work.

Prize Bull Faces Operation to Become Daddy

I TT AMES, Iowa, July 2 (UP)— Prince Rupert, a 6-year-old Hereford bull with no offspring to comfort his sunset years, munched nervously on a meal of corn and alfalfa today, awaiting an operation that may make history. Gov. Roy Turne: ‘of Oklahoma owns Prince Rupert, who sold in 1943 for $38,000, the highest price paid for a bull up to that time. Rupert's pituitary gland at the base of his brain failed to develop normally. That meant that he couldn’t become a daddy. At 6, a bull —esfecially a $38,000 bull—should have a herd of grandchildren. Prince Rupert is just a 1500-pound bachelor. That may change now. For next Wednesday Dr. M. A. Emerson of the Iowa State College (veterinary staff will graft an extra pituitary into Prince Rupert’s neck. He hopes to .make the Prince a potential father.
