Planes Supply Hungry BY LYNN HEINZERLING Berlin, June 28 States transport planes were arriving at Tempelhoi airport at eight-minute intervals today with food and other supplies for this i Soviet-blockaded city.

A total of 120 planes was expected to fly the corridor over the Russian zone during the day to supply the U. S. army post in Berlin and fill the most urgent needs of the 2,000,000 or so Germans in three western sectors. Thirty-five planes had arrived at Tempelhof from Frankfurt by 10:30 a. m.

and 23 more were in the air between the two cities. Special crews were on duty at the airport to unload the planes so they could return as quickly as possible. The U. S. air force hoped to send 100 or more planes in daily as long as necessary.

But even the 120 planes scheduled today i could bring only 300 tons of sup- plies. For the people of the west- ern sectors the western Allies for- merly brought in 2,000 tons of food daily by rail. One of the greatest airlifts since the war was gaining momentum to aid Berlin, locked by land from its natural supplies un- der Russian order. A fleet of huge C-54 skymaster transports was to i arrive in Germany from America in a few days. In Berlin tension relaxed somewhat as the currency exchange of the last week was completed and stores reopened for business.

But over the city hung a threat of hunger. Even the Americans and British were under austerity and rationing rules. Parties Banned Germans in the American, and French sectors have been getting no food by railroad and highway since the blockade went into full force the middle of last week. They have been getting a few small shipments by plane and barge. British transport authorities said four flour barges reached here yesterday and 20 more were on the way.

They could not explain why Russian inspectors let the barges through. Austerity regulations for Americans enforced food conservation in army and civilian mess halls, rationed for parcels, banned p- tics and receptions, forbade motor boating and held each car owner to five gallons of gasoline a week. Grandmother Comes Home To Feed Dog, Hits Radio Jackpot New York, June 28 UP) Because she was conscientious about getting home to feed her dog, a 42-year-old grandmother was there to receive a radio jackpot telephone call which made her $20,000 richer. Mrs. Marv Farber won that much in prizes last night for cor- rectlv naming the title of the i on the ABC The pro- gram.

The title was Out of the an 1860 song later corrupted into several other mel- i odies Among the prizes are a $1,000 U. Saving Bond, a 38-day cruise to South America, a $1.000 fur coat, an automobile and a $1.000 diamond ring. Mrs. Farber and her husband, a taxicab driver, plan to sell some of the prizes to build a home and gasoline station in West Palm Beach, they have wanted for a long time. People started telephoning trying to rent their three-room apartment even before they announced plans to move Mrs.

Farber said the only rea- i son she was home when the tele- i phene call from the radio pro- I gram's Bert Parks was that it was feeding time for her pet Boston terrier, Puggy. She had i the radio turned on. Sigler Betrayed Michigan I I i I Idi Walkaway Victory Rests Up 3 Weeks Campaign To Be Mapped After Vacation Philadelphia, June 28 Rep. Hugh D.

BY HENRY LEADER Pawling, N. June 28 (VP) Governor Thomas E. Dewey and his running mate, Governor Earl Warren of California, today were arranging an early huddle to kill a widespread beliel among Republicans that the presidential election is a GOP walkaway.

The Republican presidential and vice-presidential nominees are expected to meet tomorrow at 17 Sea Mammal Upsets Boat But Youth Is Saved Provincetown, June 28 story worthy of competing with top thrilling tales of the old whaling days was recorded today by a 17-year-old lobster lisherman who a 60-foot mammal bareback. The strange story was told by Frank E. Cabral, after lie was brought ashore by his father yesterday. Frank and his dad were hauling lobster pots in separate dories about 500 yards apart off Race Point when a huge whale came to the surface and submerged. Suddenly, the whale came up again -right under Frank's small dory.

Both Frank and boat were thrown, he estimated, about 15 feet into the air. When he came down, the young fisherman said, he landed on the back. He dug his fingers deep into the soft blubber. After a short ride of knots or Frank related, the whale sounded and he took a long chance and dove off before the mammal submerged. Young Cabral swam as fast as he could to his father's dory and was pulled aboard.

a funny Frank exclaimed as he examined his dory which had a large hole in the bottom. farm here. Warren, ac- companied by bis family, was visiting in New York City today. The New York governor will canvass with Warren problems of the a Dewey aide said. High on the list of problems is how to choke off the air of overconfidence that the Dewey forces feel too many members of the party have been inhaling giddily.

At their conference, it is understood, Dewey and Warren will chart a vigorous campaign that will take the ac: s-ntiy seveial times. The New York policy always has been not to the game won until the fit ring is played. Warren let same way. In his 1946 campaign for lion as governor, Dewey weeks before the ballo through privately conducted that he would beat the Democratic nominee, James M. Mead, then U.

S. senator. HD workers, too, sensed an easy victory and were inclined to ease oil. But Dewey directed his top campaign aides to combat the tendency. They the governor won by a record majority.
