Russia has protested the United States and othef Western powers against a proposal to set up a West German fadid transmission station in the Allied-held sector of Berlin, it was announced today. The Soviet Union accused the United States, Britain, France and Western Germany of "fanning up the cold war" and demanded that they take "appropriate measures to preclude such unlawful ac tion." Made By Tass Announcement of the protest was made by the official Soviet news agency Tass in Moscow. The State Department in Washington confirmed that a note on the subject had been received.

Secretary of Stale Christian A. Herter was expected to discuss it at a news conference late this afternoon. Tass said the Russian note declared that the decision of Western Germany to establish the radio station was "unlawful since it is incompatible with the existing status of West Berlin." Official sources in Washington said the note raised again charges that the Western powers are interested in transmitting "hostile propaganda" from the free portion of Berlin. They said the protest was di-1 rected against a new West German statute which would provide for erecting a transmitter under control of the Bonn government in the West sector of Berlin which is occupied by the British, French and Americans.

Man Hospitalized Police reported early this afternoon that a man listed as P. G. Peterson of Galesburg was taken to Phelps Hospital, Macomb, following an accident in the vicinity of Good Hope. tails ol the mishap were not immediately available. chemical suspected of causing cancer.

Most reports originating from the Food and Drug Administration said the berries were "clean." Harold Schroeder, Illinois Department of Agriculture food inspector for Knox and Warren counties, said late Wednesday that he has ordered all merchants to take cranberries off the shelves regardless of where they were grown. Earlier reports had indicated that the contaminated berries were only those grown in Washington and Oregon, but not in Wisconsin or the East Coast. Davis Food Store officials, who said Wednesday that they plan to continue to sell the berries because they handle only berries grown in Wisconsin, took cranberries off the shelves late yesterday afternoon. A spokesman for the store said the berries will not be sold until state officials give their approval. The food market was the only chain store which earlier yesterday was still handling cranberries.

Most independent stores also have stopped handling the berries. Schroder speculated that testing the berries by Illinois food officials will be completed by this weekend, and said that if the berries are uncontaminated, the state may lift its ban on their sale. On the whole, Galesburg restaurants refrained from serving cranberry products with meals today, but restaurant operators said they would go back to serv-, ing the product as soon as tests prove that the berries sold in the Galesburg area are not contaminated. A bit of cranberry jelly will be served with next Wednesday's turkey dinners in the school lunch program, according to Mrs-. Ethel Dudley, District 205 cafeteria director.

However, Mrs. Dudley said, the system would comply with any public health directives which may arise between now and then. Ocean Spray Jelly The schools will serve Ocean Spray jelly, purchased some time ago from the East Coast, the cafeteria director said. The amount served with each meal in the school system will be a tablespoon. Mrs.

Dudley said much of it is expected to go to waste since "kids don't seem to like cranberries, anyway." The cranberry case arose when scientists discovered that the killer, aminothiazole, used to spray some cranberries can cause cancer in rats. A recent report from the same scientists who performed the rat experiments, stated that aminothiazole could not cause cancer in humans. Farm Worker Badly Injured In Combine Ronald Vancil, 17, of Maquon, today was reported in satisfactory condition in St. Mary's Hospital following a far accident Wednesday about 3:30 in which his right arm was torn off about three inches below the shoulder. He also was reported to have received a skull fracture and fracture of six ribs.

Vancil was caught in the power takeoff of a combine being used to cut soybeans on the Sam Coffman farm, four miles west and three miles south of Maquon, operated by Robert Copeland. The youth was employed by James McCormack, of Maquon, who had been engaged to cut the beans. McCormack related that he and Vancil were riding in the enclosed cab of the tractor. He said the tractor was stopped and left in gear as he left the cab, planning to shut off the combine and replace the belt. McCormack said he heard the noise of glass in the cab being shattered.

He then saw Vancil, whose clothing had been completely torn away. When removed from the power takeoff, Vancil was reported to have had only his shoes and a small part of Hie cuff of the jacket he had been wearing. McCormack said he carried the youth about 80 rods to his truck, then drove his truck about, a mile to the roadway, whore Ihe youth was transferred to an auto. At the Strode garage in Maquon, the injured youth was placed in another car for the trip to the hospital. In describing the accident, McCormack theorized that part of the youth's clothing became caught in the takeoff as he was getting out of the tractor.

He said the boy had worked with him off and on for about a year and had been a careful employe. The auto was met en route from Maquon and escorted to the hospital by Hugh Allison, deputy sheriff, in a sheriff's department car.
