S., Britain and France also condemned the firing squad execution of a job- less West Berlin truck driver as an “act of brutality which will shock the conscience of the world.” In a note to East Berlin's Soviet Control Chief Sergei Dengin, the three Allies through their com- mandants of West Berlin con- demned the Russians’ “‘irrespons- ible recourse to military force” which killed at least 16 Berliners and wounded more than 200 in putting down the workers’ revolt against Red rule Wednesday. Two hundred Soviet tanks and 10,000 Red armored troops mean- while kept up their tight blockade of the city’s Soviet sector. Eight other cities in the Soviet zone were reported held by Russian armored forces in a state of siege as the protest strikes against the Communist regime continued. There was no accurate estimate of how many lives had been lost since the Russians took over com- plete military control at various rioting points and shoved their hand-picked East German govern- ment back on the shelf. In addition to the 16 known dead in Berlin—and one executed—at least seven were reported slain in pareers: The wounded were in hundreds. More tian 100 East Berliners were in jail. A Communist party broadcast last night admitted that the work- ers’ rebellion was widespread. The party promised to ‘‘be more just” in the future. But the party statement blamed the riots on “Western provocateurs who tried to incite shooting and in some cases succeeded.” This was the crime laid to Willi Goettling, the West Berliner sum- marily executed yesterday by the Reds as a riot leader. The Allied note formally denied the charge, pabew-y it an “empty pretext” and ed Goettling’s arrest and trial 2 trabenty of justice.” The Allies demanded immediate re-establishment of “free circula- tion” in the city, theoretically still under four-power control though the Russians long have flouted that provision of the Potsdam agree- ment. West Berlin’s Mayor Ernst Reut- er, arriving from Vienna, suggested as a solution the holding of “free elections in all Berlin,” In a broad- cast on the American radio Rias he said he was rearly to enter negotia- tions for this at once. |PILOT RETURNS KITE DALLAS (#~Braniff Airways pilot Lewis Wilson was coming in to land at the Dallas Airport at dusk yesterday when—at about 500 feet—he saw something off his left wingtip, It was a white box kite he said was ae enough to foul an airplane Alter he landed Wilson combed the — area until he found a boy, 4, and a girl, 5, at the other end of 1,150 feet of string.

Never go back, people say, nor hope to find it as it was. Every- thing will look smaller, the hills and trees and homes and churches. Even the river, the beautiful and secret river, will have narrowed to a niggling stream. That’s na- tural, they say, because you were seeing those things through the eyes of a childs And, too, the freshness and wonder have long since gone, vanished like a hazy Indian summer, and nothing is left but ghosts and the thin, sharp pain of some half-forgotten dream. So they tell you, in warning. Never try to go back. . It was pure chance that the route led through our town. Being there was like looking at a double- exposed film and seeing two images at once. It was hard, even after all these years, to keep past and present separated. There was the courthouse, where the salesman demonstrated a Stan- ly Steamer by driving it up the steps, And further on, the cigar store with the wooden Indian in front, holding a handful of stogies. The ‘sports’ would gather there of a Saturday night, in white pants and blue coats, and.tip their straw hat to the girls, strolling past arm-in-arm. “The Birth of a Nation” had been shown in the opera house, across the way, Before it began, I sat there with a thudding heart, afraid the battle scenes would scare me, and even moré afraid that someone would see. “If it gets too bad,” I thought, “I can cross my eyes.” I often did that when something made it necessary to shut out the world. Then down the street to the spot where the saloon had stood. This was a place of sheer fascination with sawdust on the floor, a free lunch — “but not for the likes of you” — and an ivory-hued nude over the mirror, As a feature, how- ever, she ran a poor second ‘to the painting of Custer’s last stand that stood in the window. The school has been turned into a library now, and there is a fence around the park across the street. In the tribal customs of that school, you had to have a fight on the first day, you couldn’t get in on the one-o’-cat game at recess. My brother offered to arrange mine, but I said I would rather do it myself. That’s how I met my best friend, Collin. “I don’t feel much like fighting anybody, do you,” he said. “Not much,’ I said. “I guess some of these guys are pretty tough, too.”” We stood for a moment, scuffing the dust in the schoolyard. Then Collin said, “I tell you what... we can fight each other, only we'll just pretend we're sore.” Collin lived in a big house on a hill, with a wide sweep of lawn stretching down to the street. A great flower-box, shaped like a whale boat, stood in the center of the lawn, By the standards of those days, I suppose, his family was “well off." By any standards, ours was not, But such fs America that neither of us was ever conscious of a dif- ference between us.

Overseas Transportation Company, Inc. got a bicycle for Christmas, I un- hesitatingly broached the subject of having one, “Certainly,” my mother said. “But you'll have to earn it, some- how.” So ‘Collin spoke to his grandfa- ther, who owned the afternoon pa- per, and got me a paper route. He helped me deliver the papers and sell magazines until we had $10, mostly in nickels. Then he found the bike that I bought, Never go back, they say. But it is poor advice. The old place can teach you that nothing ever changes much, nor even really dies. To the best of scientific know- ledge, all North American and Eu- ropean freshwater wells spawn near Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean. He Of Administration WASHINGTON « — Sen. Hen- nings (D-Mo) has called for an of- ficial statement to clear up what he termed “almost farcial confu- sion” about administration. views on destruction of books, In a letter to Secretary of State | Dulles yesterday, Hennings. asked | whether the State Department has engaged in “the more primitive forms of book’ purging, including the literal burning of books.” Hennings, citing reports that) books by Dulles himself had been} removed from the libraries, said such actions place the U. S. in aj) position ‘offensive to our demo- cratic traditions.” MIAMI HOTEL AMERICA Conveniently ates For Downtown Shoppers — 44 Block From Bus Station 274 N.
