S. ambassador-at-larg- e in Europe. The gravity with which United Nations leaders viewed the Berlin situation was evidenced in the efforts of U. N, Secretary General Trygve Lie, and H. V. Evatt, general assembly president THESE TWO made urgent appeal to chief executives of the four big powers going over the heads of these nations U. N. delegations to do so to bring the Berlin dispute to an end and thus bring about world peace. This appeal was without avail. The United States, France and England said no, politely but firmly. They declared the issue must remain in the hands of the U. N. security council until the Russian blockade is lifted. Russia reacted as usual blaming the Western powers for the stalemate. Evatt and Lie argued that the dispute cannot be settled within the cramped confines of tha' security council and should be aired in the wider fields of the general assembly. ' AGGRAVATING the situation was the coming winter with its consequent obstacles to the air lift. The Russians appeared content to wait out this phase of American eld to Germany in the apparent conviction, or hope, that bad weather would so impair air lift efficacy as to make it negative in tha battle for Germany. If the situation were to be resolved by diplomatic means, American thought and procedure on the question would carry top weight with the Big Three. Under thia setup, President Trumans evident intention to spurn discussion of the problem unless the Berlin blockade were lifted, would indicate the United States was prepared to continue the "cold war" with the Russians, and to bet with the elements that the air lift would continue to be efficient and that Premier Stalin and his Communists would have to come to terms in the end. PRESIDENT TRUMAN reiterated that he planned no American mission of any sort to Moscow, and that be and Secretary Marshall were in accord on all questions. The President would stand for no pressuring in discussion of the Berlin question, even if it came from top chieftains in the U. N. PRIORITY? For Farmers . ct ly ill) cigarette lighter out.

Extend reclamation and soil conservation benefit to more farmlands and provide an increased rural electrification for more farmers, this to be sponsored and paid for by the government.

A NEW LIGHT: From Isaiah New light and interpretation may be thrown on the Old Testament by discovery of the complete scroll of the Prophet Isaiah. All 68 chapters of the book, with only a few portions missing, have beeh found. One of the most dramatic Biblical discoveries of all time, the scrofl was brought to light .recently when four of the oldest Hebrew manuscripts thus far known were found in a cave near tile northern end of the Dead Sea. Scholars date the Isaiah scroll as early Macchbean. or second century B. C., which would make it the oldest Biblical document yet to be discovered intact. THE DISCOVERY of a complete Isaiah scroll, dating back a thousand years before the oldest one known, promises scholars an opportunity to seek new meaning from the Bible, and to determine by comparison the extent that errors may have found their way into Biblical manuscripts with the passage of time. Bible scholars point out that the Book of Isaiah, like all of the Bible, came down to us as the result of many copyings by scribes who would make additional scrolls as the old ones wore out g.

Even now, administration chiefs are moving to give the nation's farmers top priority over labor in any legislative program coming up for action by the next congress. THE FARMERS reward is to come immediately not in the future and the outlook is that labor may have to stand behind the farmer when awards for a part in President Truman's triumph are to be handed out in a legislative program.
