By WE! OAILAGIIIII , June 25 — (AP) — The Russians took another turn ir: the starvation screw on West- ern Berlin today.

But Col. Frank Howley, United States commander in the city, told Berliners tihat “the stupid and brutal threat to starve Berlin is just foolish."

United States authorities sn- ncunced they will begin flying vit- Hally-needed mgnufactured gocds, electrical equipment and drugs ln- to Berlin tunorrow. Nothing was said about flying in food. "

The Russians discontinued their contributions to the city’s pool by which the three western sectors have received food from the east. They also halted all coal ship- ments to the city from the east. The French-speaking paper Kurier said rails had been torn up on several stretches of the rail- way which llnks Berlin with the Western bones. There appears to be no prospect that the Russians would lift their embargo on food shipments from the west soon. All sources of food, except a, 30- dey supply or less already on hand. were thus cut odi from 2,- 000,000 Germans living in the Brit- ish, American and French sect- ors of the city. These Germans eat 2,000 tons daily.

Electric power in the western sectors again was interrupted be- cause the Russians have‘ stopped the supply frcm their plants and tlhe western sectors can supply only halt their own needs.

The stoppage of coal shipments threatened to bring a gradual col- lapse of all light and gas service. Up to now the Russians had sup- plled brow-n coal from the east end British authorities had sup- plied hard coal from the Ruhr. Now both sources were out oli.

Despite statements of determin- utlon to remain in the city. the Western Powers made no moves in break the Soviet blockade which threatens to undermine their pos- itlon in the city.

Problem

_j-_.

(Dy The Canadian Press)

DIOBY, NB, June 26—-'I'he Mer- itlme Transportation Commission today called upon the Federal Government to wpcmt a royal commission, “with widest possible powers,” to make a corruplete in- vmigation into Canada's railway problem.

1t also passed s. resolution re- questing the Government to sus- pend the recent 21 per cent ireight rate increases until the decision of the royal commission lied been handed down and implemented.

(Seven Provinces, excluding 0n- tario and Quebec, already have asked for a royal commission on railways).

The Transportation Commission -—-an arm of 90 Maritime Boards of ‘Ir-ode and the three Maritime Governments-said the Board oi Transport Commissioners was not the proper body to investigate the railway problem since its hands were tied by provisions of the Rail- way Act and its own decisions.

Delegates said the railways were designed to create unity among the Provinces but unless some remedy were adopted quickly, the problem would divide the provin- ces, seven against two. and impede Canada's development. .

The resolution, moved by J. A. Morris of Moncton, N._B., asked that the royal commission be auth- orized to employ its own engineers. accountants and other experts t0 assist it in establishing a freight rate structure “which will be lair to the railways but which will spread the cost of operation eq- uitably over the whole of Canada from coast to oodst."

1t also asked:

1. ‘Phat the commission be in- structed to take into consideration and to alleviate the burden which the present freight rate structure imposes on the interested seven Provinces. because of their geog- raphical or economic position. with the assistance, if necessary, of sub- sidies from the Federal Govern-
