22 Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin stated unmistakably today that the Western Allies intend to slake peace on an unyielding stand in Berlin. Shortly afterward, a foreign office spokesman announced that Britain, the United Stales and France had delivered new notes on the Berlin deadlock to Moscow's envoys in the three capitals today. The three Western powers asked the Kremlin tonight for a yes-or- no answer in perhaps their final effort to solve the crisis-laden Ber-' lin question through direct negotiations.

Addressing a packed and hushed House of Commons, Bevin asserted the Russians are people "from whom you cannot buy peace" with concessions. "Berlin stands out now as the symbol of resistance--a sort of salient," he said; To save that salient, he declared, Britain and the United States will boost the "air lift" of food and fuel into the blockaded German with most of the increased winter burden falling on the United States. The three Western powers are not only "on absolute agreement as to policy of the lift and of defending ourselves in Berlin, but in the policy we shall jointly pursue if it fails." The notes are the latest -move in eight weeks of negotiations over blockaded Berlin. They were the result of consultations in Paris this week among Bevin, U.

Today he asked them to facilitate the placing.of the President's name on the ballot as the "National Democratic" candidate 'so that every voter may have the opportunity of expressing himself." At the same time Gov. Long declared himself "for States' Rights and 100 per cent against the FEPC," mentioning two issues that helped form strong sentiment for the Thurmond-Wright ticket in Louisiana. The governor took notice also of objections from the other side of the fence. Democratic National CommHtss Chairman -J. Howard McGrath has said no solution will not place Truman on the ballot as the official Democratic nominee; Governor Long told newsmen the proposed legislation would allow Louisiana supporters of the President, from the ranks of organized labor or elsewhere, to qualify Truman elector candidates rillas.
