ice to step up their efforts to

Kmler's wife has been re-arrested
in New York City for deportation.
The Justice Department announc-
ed her arrest today while it laid
plans to bring her husband back
from his flight across the seas.
Mr. Eisler had been at liberty,
j without bond, on charges of being

i reason for the re-arrest is thaf
, the government wants to question
! her about the flight of Eisler, ad-

(By AukW'I Prtm>
Los Angeles, May 13 — Los
Angeles was shaken early today
by an earthquake that startled
residents out of bed but apparent-
ly caused no damage.
The tremar was a distinct one.
It was felt the hardest in cities
throughout the San Gabriel and
San Fernando Valleys such at Al-
tadena, Pasadena, Burbank and
Glendale. Long Beach—scene of
a disastrous quake in 1933—said
it experienced a gentle rumble.
It shook buildings in downtown
and Eastern Los Angeles. Police
switchboards were swamped with
calls but all of them were anxi-
ous queries. The sheriff’s office
said that it had no reports of
damage.

“Nonsense”
(By AiMrmlfg Prttt)
Washington. May 13,—The
sians have charged that the
trn Allies are not living up —
their agreement to end the Berlin
blockade. The Russians complain
they cannot do the job by them-
selves. To which a Western of-
ficial has replied—’’nonsense.'*
(By Attotititd Prttt)
Berlin, May 13, — A Russian
newspaper said today that the
Western Powers are using “in-
valid pretexs” to evade lifting of
their counter-blockade. A West-
ern spokesman promptly denied
the charge.
The Russian Army newspaper in
Berlin said that the West is “tor-
pedoing” the agreement to end
the blockade. Commented the pa-
per: "The agreement cannot ba
fulfilled by the Soviet side alone.”
Thc denial of the Russian charge
was made by Lawrence Wilkin-
son—the American Military Gov-
ernors Economic adviser. Said
Wilkinson: “We were told by our
governments to remove all res-
trictions put into effect sine*
March first, 1948. We’ve done
that—and more.”
Yesterday, the Russians irked
Western officials by insisting that
trucks leaving Berlin for the Wes-
tern zones have Soviet-sponsored
permits. Early today, Western
j Berlin pojice said that the Rus-
sian checkpoint outside Berlin had
lifted that requirement. There was
no official announcement of the
change.
