Midwest Power Strike Averted = St. Louis, July 6--(AP)--An elec- "trical workers strike, which would » have seriously crippled power-con- ssuming industries in three Midwes- "tern 'states, was temporarily averted +~Monday night. * Members of the Operating Engin- eers Union (A.F.L), employed by the Union Electric Company of .Misouri, voted at a meeting to ex- tend their strike deadline six days. A strike would have shut down the company's plants in Illinois, as well as a hydro-electric plant at Keokuk, Ia. * The union previously had turned down a settlement which had been agreed upon by its negotiators and the company. The terms provided for wage increases averaging 11% cents an hour, The union sought a 15-cent increase over the present scale whicla averages $1.30, Britain, U.S. (Continued from Page 1) decided to announce the move when their protest notes are delivered but not to disclose the contents of those notes at least for several days. State Department officials said the secrecy is required because the direct demand by the Western pow- efs on the Soviet Government raises extrémely serious issues. This is the first time that Canada has been brought into the picture. A foreign diplomat said the two issues ware: In the political field, how to ob- tain an alliance or some other form of military support by the United 'States for the Western European blac. "In the military field, determina- 4 of the kind and extent of United States arms and equipment "which may be needed to provide reasonably adequate defence against any possible Russian attack, Reject Terms + (Continued from Page 1) Arabs will resume fighting in Pal- estine when the four-week truce ends Friday, despite U.N. appeals for an extension. After a three-hour conference of the Arab League's political commit- tee, Secretary-General Abdel Rah- , man Azzam Pasha reported no de- cision was reached on the truce ex- tension proposal. ~. Azzam Pasha said Count Berna- ~dotte was sent to the Middle East primarily to reach a final Palestine settlement, not a truce, and that such talks might continue six months, even if fighting is resumed in the Holy Land. He said Count Bernadotte will meet Arab leaders tomorrow. Arab League officials in Cairo said their organizataion had a dual aim: Speedy conclusion of the Holy Land war and creation of an "Is lamic bloc." A League informant said creation of an Islamic bloc is being consid- ered to enable "Moslem countries to stand in front of the Western powers and America." The source said the Egyptian Government had drawn plans to call 21 Islamic states to a parley here to discuss the project. * 'The céase-fire was broken in Jerusalem early Monday for the second time in two days when Jews, entrenched on Mount Zion, and Arabs in the old city exchanged mortar and machine-gun fire. An Israeli communique today al- leged that Arab irregulare violated the truce again during the night by attacking the Jewish colony of Sejra in eastern Galilee, A Jewish leader commented: "So what does it matter if the Israeli army accepts an_ additional truce? Irgun and Stern will fight on and the Arabs will fight back ainst the entire Jewish popula- n; The Israeli army will have to defend itself and its people." Most Jerusalem Jews say they re- sent Count Bernadotte's mediation suggestions, particularly the one which would place the Holy City der Arab rule with Jewish auton- y in certain sections. = Soldiers and civilians alike say: t's get on with the fighting."

Mr. Scott said the estimate was based on the premise that all the timber destroyed would have been cut and marketed this year. "We are not trying to minimize the losses in lumber and wild life, but it is a faet that the fires jumped from one place to another leaving large patches of untouched timber between," Mr. Scott said. "These areas now are being sur- veyed and cutting operations will start as soon as possible. While a lot of trees were killed, they were not completely spoiled for timbering purposes . . . If logging 'dperations are commenced before forest in- sects go to work, a great many of these may be saved."

Details Of Russian Plot To Seize Berlin Exposed By French Of icials Foreign Office announced today it has received from tie British Em- bassy documentary evidence of a Russian plot to drive the Western Allies from Berlin, 'The Foreign Office said the Bri- tish information was that Commun- ists in Berlin wére instructed by Moscow to touch off incidents which would cause intervention by Soviet forces. Similar information has ccme from French officials in Berlin, the Foreign Office added, Neither the British nor the American embassies here would comment. Frencia diplomatic informants said the Kremlin has ordered demonstra- tions leading to street fighting which would give Russion troops a chance to intervene and occupy all Berlin. . Referring to a statement carried" by the Conservative Paris fiewspa- per Le Figaro, which claimed to have a copy of the Soviet order, one source said: "I cannot vouch for {hat particular communique, but everything in it is true." The statement which appeared in Figaro was broken down into eight parts. 1. Disorganization of electricity ¥and other essentials." 2. Demonstrations in all sectors calling for unified government and a unified monetary system. 3. Communist demonstrators will be atacked by police and "it must be assumed that there will be num- erous dead and wounded." 4. When this situation "has been created" Soviet troops will occupy the entire city of Berlin, plus the suburbs. Soviet forces wil] order the Western Allies into limited terri- tory where "ttieir safety can be guaranteed." 5. A state of "general public cri- sis" will be declared at a mass meet- ing of workers and a provisional government set up "by our Sondere- in-Satz-Truppen." 6. This will take place only in case of aggravated tension between the USSR. and the Western Powers. 7. All decisions shall be referred beforehand to the central ccnmittee of the party. Detailed orders will be released later, 8.

CHADBURN SQUADRON AIR CADETS By SGT. PETERS Hi folks! Long time no see. I am working out ofe town and I am afraid I have slipped up in writing this column and also in attending cadets; but I hope this will soon" be remedied. Since I haven't been to cadets for three weeks, I am rather in the dark for material, so I will bring Clarence in to continue his O.C.S. history. "Smitty and the other members of the 1945 Air Cadet Camp at Bor= den have just turned in for the night. Those two heavy blankets were folded at the bottoms of bunks where they were expected to remain, Before the sun had been down long the night became ex- tremely chilly and good use was found for the blankets. This same thing took place every day and night. The cadets would swelter all day; but when the sun went down a jacket came in handy. The cadets would rise around six in the morning, and the first group would go to breakfast at seven. After breakfast the cadets could make their bunks, shine shoes, tidy things up, and then loaf until nine o'clock when classes began. Classes ended at 12 and began again at two until five o'clock in the evening when they ceased for that day. After supper the cadets' time was their own until 11 o'clock rolled around with "lights out." What the cadets did during class and in the evening will have to hang fire until next week, so I will see you then."
