British and United States author- ities replied their planes will con- tinue to fly the corridors-Murill- wide links between Welt Berlin and West Germany-without devia- tion.

The air lift, manned by Britons and Americans, again has become the main source of supply to West Berlin. ' C. P. Zorchenko, chief Russian air controller at the Berlin air safety centre. advised the Allies to shift their air lift route in the Bucknberg corridor from the Bri- tish zone and detour planes along the northern edge. He laid there would be air to ground firing "from May 28 onward" at heights up to 30.000 feet. British and Ameri- can officials protested.

II‘. JOHN'S. Nfldn May 2B- (Satisrduw-First returns gave the Liberal Party a oneman lead early today in Ne-wfoundlands first provincial election but the count- ing system made impossible an overall picture.

J. R. Chalker, Liberal candidate for the nearby district of Harbor Grace, swept to victory over his Progressive Conservative opponent, R. A. Parsons. Three hours after Mr. Chalkerir election was report- ed none of the otlior 23 districts had been heard from.

A llst-ffllnute attempt by Lib- eral leader Joseph R. smrtllwood‘ to keep the count going all night was foiled by ‘the fact that most telephone and telegraph circuits fold up before midnight. There would be no wsv to bring the count to St. John's.

An example of the slow-moving progress was provided in the dis-

‘trlct of Ferryiand. where only two

ballot boxes out of 35 had been collected five hours after polls cloned. Returning officers in the dual district of St. John's East decided to count all night-start- lng at 4 am. NDT-but no similar decisions were reported from other rlriings.

‘Iihe count in all other ridings was scheduled to resume at 9 am. or as soon as all ballot boxes had been collected.
