fic to the city. The soviet order also provided for tight controls of all out-going freight from Berlin, either Ger- man or Allied Miiitaryn. The order raid each shipment must be in- ' spected and approved by the Rue- ' sian military.

The order also indicated con- trol over incoming freight from the Western zones, but the lan- guage was so vague it mystified Western military authorities as to its intent.

The Soviet move posed for Bri- tain. the United States and France the question oi whether to sur~ render to Russia sovereignty of .their military trains carrying per-

sonnel moving in and ou-t of Ber- -. lin. ‘

The Sovidt demand provided

= that no British, American or

French citizen could leave or en-

"mtefBerliirby rail or train without

providing proof of his or her iden- tity to Soviet control authorities.

Authoritative sources at Frank- furt said the regular American military train between Frankfurt and Berlin was ordered tonight to halt at Helmsiedt, a British zone town where the train ordin- arily passed into the soviet zone.

Dpposc Marshall Plan Aid To Spaiir

.

LONDON. March 31 - (AP) --, Opposition to the inclusion of Spain in the Marshall Recovery Plan swelled in the European press today-

Government officials generally remained silent. waiting to see if final approval to Spain's inclusion among countries eligible for aid would be given by, the United

States House of Representatives uiid Senate. A responsible British source.

however. expressed doubt that either Britain or France, as spon- sors of Western European unity, would sanction "for a minute" Spain's inclusion.

Le Peupie, Belgian social party newspaper in Brussels. said "the American Congress is free to make gifts to whom it likes. but cannot force the 16 European countries (in the Marshall Plan) to col- laborate with a government con- demned by all the United Na- tioiis."

The independent newspaper, 1n- formation, in Copenhagen. said "if Hitler is still alive he will most certainly pop up one day to get. his share cf Marshall aid."

The Brussels Communist news- paper. Drapeau Rouge, comment- ed that “dollars will now flow to Spain to arm Fascist troops)’.

The Norwegian liberal news- paper. Dage-biadct, said in Oslo that the House action was a shocking "resolution." The Social Democratic Aftontldnlngen in Stockholm, Swedenrsirriilarly com-m merited.

Franc-Tireur, French leftist newspaper in Paris, said "beiil- cose delirium in Washington" was responsible, and the pro-Commun- ist paper. Liberation, added that "the American Congress sometimes plays international politics with the grace of an elephant in a china shop."

Some political circles in Amster- dam, commented however that there was a need for including Spain in the recovery program.

In Italy the Communist news- paper ljunita twitted Premier Alcide de Gasperi, asking if he had not made the assertion that the Marshall Plan was aimed at restoring democracy-

The moderate Italian Labor Socialist Party announced it had sent messages to "all workers org- lanizations and democratic parties" in the United States expressing

Marshall Plan.

MWhy Spain in MSISIISU Plan?

‘ "'*”'\

By J. M. Roberts, Jr. (Associated Press News Analyst) There is only one explanation

for the surprising unanimity of

the House of Representatives in deciding that Spain should be in- eluded in the Marshall Plan.

It's a hard world.

Franco represents the totalitar- ianism against which the world's democracies have been struggling for 15 years. It's not merely Spain. It's a. way of thought and a way of government which tho democracies fought to suppress in Germany and which they now are fighting to prevent Russia from spreading.

It has become a. step-by-etep war. in which the democracies have been taking on the most dangerous enemies of the moment; using against them the weapons of most immediate effect. By that token they are willing to accept the help of governments of which they disapprove in order to keep their countries from falling under the sway of. and being used by, ihe chief opponent.

The democracies did not move against Franco immediately after the war because they feared to open the door to Communism in Spain. It is still an important factor.

Also. a. man cannot always in- quire into the politics of the bed- fellow whom he joins to escape a storm.

If the attitude of the House of Redresentatives toward Spain should happen to prevail, that will be the United States‘ only answer to the tide of criticism set up in Europe by the proposal.

But even the plea of expediency may prove insufficient.

The House action already has

Plane Will in... Whooping Cranes During Migration

NEW YORK, March 31 ~— (AP) - Any day now the last little

flock of North Acncricais tallest birds w.il lift their gangling bodies from the coastal flats of Texas and soar north, destination unknown, To search out the secret breeding grounds of these whooping cranes and to discover information that may save the race from extinction. a United States Government plane will follow.

Not right in their wake -- that would scare thmi half to death even if practical. But if all goes Well, Robert P. Alien of (he Nation- al Audubon Society and Robert H. Enfnlth of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service w.ll happen this summer on the great eggs or brown chicks of one of the most picturesque birds that ever: surviv- ed from a fossil age.

Last year Allen and Smith searched by air in Northern Saskatchewan for the bird's nest- ing grounds. _

The whooping crane atands loo:- ly as tall as a man. In adult plumage it is mostly white. Its hollering cry marks it anywhere as a whooper. Early observers speak of "mighty annies" of these cranes ffllflating up the Mississippi valley. As usual for several years now, more than 20 of the cranes win- tered at a refuge in Texas. Six _v<>uma8:1ers..heloed melee up the grand totrfl. That is twice as many young brds as in the prev- ious season.
