NOT A TREND 5 However. he said he did not: think "this indicates a trend,’ as it seems to be due to a num- ~ ber of favorable factors which‘. are not of a recurring na-' ture." . One factor was payment from the federal government of $1.: 7_80.000 as a result of recalcula- tion of payment due from tax- 1 sharing agreements for the? :f’i1ve-year period ended March; an additional $5,500,000 under} new tax - sharing agreementsl approved in Ottawa last No-"

German Blockade Was Broken L

PRESTON GROVER Qto scramble. Survivors around shipped out much vital machin-l

LENIINGRAD (AP) — At the time the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. people of this city were eating hides. dogs. cats. rats. grass. glue. pine needles- anything at all to remain alive in one of the worst sieges of modern history.

Now, 20 years after it ended. the city commemorates the hour that the German blockade was broken by attacks from within and from outside.

Before the blockade ended. a third of the population had starved to death, 632.253 people by official count. Disease had little part in it. They starved. Dying cold and alone in bed. falling by night in the snow in the streets. or on the threshold of the factories they tried to reach to perform their daily tasks and earn their ration cards. To the people who sur- vived. that they did it.

The Germans. aided by the Finns, threw a blockade around Leningrad in the cold fall of 1941 and twisted it so tight that for weeks and months all but the tiniest trickle of food was shut off.

EPIC OF SUFFERLVG

Finally a thin dribble of food, gasoline and other supplies be- gan coming in over a road across the ice of Lake Ladoga. where the Russians held a na row beach head. The story of that road itself is an epic of suffering. disaster and sheer human determination. Trucks loaded with starving people be- ing evacuated across the lake in the night plunged through hidden shell holes. dumping scores of people into icy water from which they were too weak
