Poge 8 U.S. Braces For Possible Red Blockade By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER ‘WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Dean Acheson came home from Europe today to report to President Truman and seek a speedy Senate okay on the develop- ing alliance between Western Ger- many and the Western powers. Ore of the major problems be- Acheson is that of counter- ures by the United States, n and France against the i ing of lines between East and West Germany and the Soviet- imposed travel difficulties between West Germany and Berlin as re- prisal for the forging of new Ger- man links with the West. Some consideration has been given here, it is understood, to making a show of power on the Western side, perhaps by flight of military planes in the German area, in order to remind both the Russians and the Germans of West- ern firmness in German policy. The Air Force is reported to have prepared elaborate plans for set- ting up a new Berlin airlift in case the Russians disrupt the move- ment of vital supplies to the city’s Western sector. But some official doubt that they will resort to the full scale blockade. If a blockade develops it seems quite probable that a new con sideration will be given to chal lenging the Soviets with en Allied armored train or truck convoy un- der military orders to go through Red border guards Sta‘e Department aides said THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Friday, May 30, 1952 “Atrocity” Is Reds’ Label For Killing By SAM SUMMERLIN MUNSAN, Korea (#—The Com- munists’ chief truce negotiator to- day called the killing of a Red war prisoner on Koje Island an atrocity. And he dropped a thinly- veiled hint of possible reprisals against Allied prisoners held in North Korea. United Nations authorities on Koje had reported one Commu- nist prisoner was killed and an- cluer wounded Thursday by the accidental discharge of a guard’s 1ifle. m North Korean General Nam Il demanded that the Allies “imme- | diately stop these atrocities.” Then he told the U. N. delegation: “1 clearly remind you that to | protect the war prisoners is a mu- tual and reciprocal responsibility of both befiigerents. You should not fail to see the ~ consequences of your action.” Nam’s reference to “‘see the con- sequences” had an ominous ring. Again he charged the U. N. with \Preparing ‘for another mass | slaughter.” | A short time before the 42-min- authorities in Toky Seoul and Koje announced seven Red POWs were killed and 16 injured Thurs- {day and today in new disorders. | The new disturbances were cer- tain to embitter further the al- | ready stalled talks, The Reds were j unwilling to agree to a recess and |insisted that the delegations meet Shriners Coming To Florida Next Month Expected To Spend Estimated $16,000,000 MIAMI (# — The thousands of x. shriners who flock to Miami June A trains, planes, 15-20 for the national shrine con- | piles, e i vention will spend an estimated 16| J 4 states will be represented, million dollars exclusive of gaso-|in addition to shriners from Cuba, line and hotel bills, officials said |the Canal Zone, Canada and New- today. foundland.
