S, Britain and France are reported by British government sources to have drafted a demand to the Kremlin that Russia lift her blockade of Berlin and restore iour-power rule to the city. The note is said to place all re- sponsibility on Russia for what happens to 2,000,000 Germans in Western Berlin if starvation tactics continue. The demand possibly will reach Moscow this weekend after the foreign ministers of the three Western Powers approve. FRANKFURT — The Western Powers offered the 45,000,000 West- ern Germans the right to form their own government and accept a substitute for a peace treaty. The formal offer was made in Frankfurt. The German leaders of the 11 af- fected states appeared certain to accept. The Russians and their Eastern allies have talked of es- tablishing an East German gov-' ernment in Dresden. BERLIN—In Berlin itself, it is announced that the Russians killed the Allied Kommandatura, through which the four occupation powers operated the Berlin city govern- ment. The Soviets walked out. A British spokesman said they blamed Col, Frank Howley, the U. S. commandér in Berlin, rency into the eity.

(Tony) VACCARO WASHINGTON, July 1—®— President Truman predicted today his own first-ballot nomination by .‘th Democratic National Conven- tion. He foretold, too, victory ip November over the Dewey-Warrer luepublicnn ticket. Mr. Truman said it was up to the convention to pick his Vice- Presidential running mate. He was asked specifically if Mrs. Frank- lin D. Roosevelt and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower would be acceptable. To the Mrs. Roosevelt question, the Presidnt smiled and replied: “Of course, of course. What would you expect me to say to that?™ As for Eisenhower, whom some southern Democrats favor dratt- ing for the Presidential nomination, Mr. Truman replied with the sug- gestion that the question be put to the General. Mr. Truman described as foolish question number one a reporter’s inquiry as to whether he would withdraw from the race. No Worry, Revolt Talk Mr. Truman told a rapid-fire news conference that he was not worried by talk of a southern re- volt against him. ‘The political questioning began when someone remarked that Sen- ator J. Howard McGrath, Demo- cratie National Committee Chair- man, had asserted Mr. Truman would be nominated on the first ballot. The President said McGrath was correct. Selection of a Vice Presidential candidate, he said, is up to the national convention. A reporter observed that form- er Rep. Clare Boothe Luce (R~ Conn) had suggested that the Dem- ocrats’ only hope was to nominate Mrs. Roosevelt as the President's running mate.
