- SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST GEORGCIA OVER A CENTURY
ATHENS, GA., MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1948.
A British-American spokesman
told reporters this was the sense
of a note delivered by the west
ern powers of Argentine Foreign
Minister Juan Atilio Bramuglia,
who has been heading up a six
nation effort to mediate the East-
West deadlock in the United Na
tions Security Council over Ber
lin.
There was, however, no imme
diate indication of Russia’s atti
tude on this idea. This, it is as
sumed, is because Deputy Foreign
Minister Andrei Y. Visshincky,
is waiting for instructions from
the Kremlin. He traismitted to
Moscow Friday a set of questions
put to him by Bramuglia, infor
mants said.
Bramuglia saw Dr. Philip C.
Jessup of the United States, Sir
alcxander Cadogan of Britain,
ang Alexandre Parodi of France
vesterday and asked them a num
ber of similar questions.
Earlier, an American spokes
man seid the western powers had
informed the Security Council’s
“neutral six” that no mediation
of the Berlin crisis could succeed
unless the Russians lifted the
blockade first.
JPosition Clarified
The west position was clarified
yesterday during three interviews
the western representziives had
with Argentine Foreign Minister
Juan Bramuglia, who presented
the “nuetral” attempt at com
promise.
The U. S. spokesman said no
formula which will result in
lifting of the blockade is exclu
eded, but the western powers in
sist the Council recognize that
the blockade constituts a “threat
to peace.”
The spokesman added, howev
er, that no formal note to that
effect had been submitted to he

Marshall, Armed With New
Strategy, Returns Te: Paris
E .
Finished Report To Truman;
4 . . .
Split In Cabinet Is Denied
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.— (AP)—Secretary of State
Marshall heads back for Paris today hopeful that his
week-end’s work with President Truman has averted a
major American setback in the cold war with Russia.
Maishall was expected to take
off ;around mid-day, thus wind
ing up a critical period in which
he and the President decided (a)
to give the world an official ver
sion of the proposed Vinson mis
sion’ to ‘Moscow and (b). under
line 'that the whole project had
been abandoned.
~As a result, the United States
was able once again to present
to the world a picture of undi
vided determination in interna
tional affairs.
- For one thing, reports of a
split. between Mr. Truman and
his Secretary of State were de.
nied formally.
And — despite sharp Republi
can criticism of the President’s
role in the incident—GOP sup
port for this ecountrv’e bi-=awé:
san foreign policy at the United
Nations sessions in gencru, ...
on the Berlin crisis in particular
was publicly reaffirmed.
Dewey’s Move
Governor Thomas E. Dewey,
the Republican presidential nom
inee; made the first move in this
direction. It came roughly 24
hours after the disclosure by Mr.
Truman himself that he had
considered sending Chief Justice
Fred M. Vinson to Moscow but
had been dissuaded by Mar®
shall.
Dewey issued a statement at
Albany declaring that the Am
erican people “are in fact united
in their foreign policy.”
They “wholeheartedly and vig
orously support the labors of our
bi-partisan delegation at Paris
and specifically its insistence on
a prompt lifting of the blockade
of Berlin.”
While the New York Governor
would not say so publicly, news
men assigned to his campaign
were given to understand that
Dewey regards the Vinson inci
dent as a desperate blunder.
Vandenberg Criticism
More direct GOP' criticism
came from Senator Arthur H.
Vandenberg of Michigan, speak
ing in New York later last
night.
Vandenberg, chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, told his listeners that the
United States has “just had a
narrow escape” from “independ
ent action” on the Berlin situa
tion in a “recent! dangerous
hour.”
Vandenberg went on to say
that this government must avoid
any move not taken in concert
with its close allies — principal
ly Britain and France.
While Vandenberg thus direct
ly linked the Vinson mission with
the Berlin crisis, statements is
sued here- Saturday night by
President Truman and Marshall
tied it instead to Mr. Truman'’s
Student Killed
In 750-F¢. Fall
BOULDER, C 010.,, Oct. 11 —

feet to his death yesterday while

His body plummeted past 17-
