Reds Accuse U.S. of Evading Berlin Blockade Accord
Berlin reports say Soviet mouthpiece Taegliche Rundschau accused the Western allies of evading the 1948 blockade lifting terms. U.S. official Lawrence Wilkinson rejected the charge, noting that interzonal trade rules are in flux and some 1948 contracts could be revived with firm official reinstatement decisions pending. Fresh food shipments and traffic resumed in West Berlin as the counter block and restrictions end.

Klees Pleads Guilty to Negligent Homicide in Court
Francis Klees of Browns ville Minnesota waived reading of information and pleaded guilty to negligent homicide in circuit court Friday. A six months sentence in county jail was pronounced by Judge Arold Murphy. He begins the term today after being free on bond since Mrs. Ethel Traff’s death in a rear end crash March 19. The Gateway City Transfer Co. van was involved but its driver was not held. The court noted Klees’s repentance and used jail rather than prison time to allow settlement with the deceased’s husband. The sheriff will extend Hub er law privileges after May 24. The state revealed that Gateway City Transfer Co contributed funds for funeral expenses. A 16-year-old La Crosse boy received probation after two breaking and entering charges. A jury trial set for May 16 will hear E. H. Bokelkamp v Oscar Olson in Superior.

City May Scrap Parking Plan To Save Hotel Wall
The common council considered dropping the off street parking idea for the 119 Pearl Street site after a survey showed the east wall of the derelict building forms the rear wall of the Hotel Gannet at Second and Pear Streets. The wall is unsafe and would cost about 5200 to repair if left, and the city bought the property for 12500 last year with tearing down begun before delays for housing.
