BATTLE OF THE BARRIER
Berlin, September 24. "The Battle of the Barrier entered its fifth day today with armed British and Russian troops glaring across a candy. striped pole at onc another from forlified positions.
The troops spent their fourth night in the woods on the cold damp ground in a corner of the British sector hard by the Russian Zone, each side on the alert.
The impasse started when the Russians suddenly threw a pole diagonally across a narrow rond just inside the British sector. Two letters the Russian authorities from Major-General Geoffrey Bourne, British commandant in Berlin, have not produced results. British troops went on duty again: today, with about 100 "Tommien'

LABOUR MEMBER'S DIATRIBE AGAINST HIS OWN PARTY
London, September_24.
A Labour Member of the House of Commons today accused his Party-- and a section of the Cabinet-of scuttling the Schuman Plan for European co-operation "because they would like to see Britain ramain in glorious isolation and independence."
The attack came in a sizzling political pamphlet, called "Heads in the
