Clay's trip to Washington as an excuse to tell the Germans in the blockade western sectors of Berlin that he had been recalled to be “rebuked for his mistakes” here. The official Soviet army news-| paper Taegliche Rundschau and Russian broadcasts declared, without saying how they might know, that Gen. Clay was getting orders to “moderate the tone of American policy in Berlin and halt the present nervousness.” The promise to feed all Berlin was reported today by the German Economic Administration in the Soviet zone. The commission said that food sufficient for everyone would be made available in Soviet sector shops after Aug. 1.

Scold Clay

The Boviet announcement on food sald supplies to be sent into Berlin will be sufficient to ¢over extra rations of between 150 and calories per person. The promise of food, the Soviet Army paper said, “collapsed the short-sighted policy of Clay.” The attack asserted that high American quarters criticized Gen. Clay a8 “a desk general, not familiar

With military strategic considerations.”

military advisers may ask him to declare a limited national emergency if efforts to solve the Berlin crisis peacefully fall through completely. Immediate objective of such a step would be to enable the Army to obtain reserve officers of company grade—captains and higher —needed to train the new draftees. It is recalled that President Roosevelt proclaimed a limited national emergency Sept. 8, 1939, immediately upon the outbreak of war in Europe, and an unlimited emergency on May 27, 1941, eight months before Pearl Harbor.

In winning the one-year wagé agreement, the UAW yielded one cent on its pay hike demands. The union originally asked for a 14-cent cash increase for ho workers. At the outset of negotiations June 15, UAW leaders also demanded the equivalent of an additional 14 cents per hour in socalled social security benefits. These were gradually whittled down to approximately 3% cents in bargaining sessions, however: The final new wage pact came almost exactly one week after the UAW had rejected a “final” company" offer and broke off negotiations.
