Argentine Plans to Settle Berlin Blockade Crisis
Argentine Foreign Minister Bramuglia proposed a three point formula to end the Berlin blockade. He would appoint an expert commission to study the currency issue, seek a Security Council backed lift of the blockade aligned with Soviet mark currency, and issue a joint communication for the six smaller powers backing the compromise. The timing remains undecided, with December 30 a possible target. Separately, German Communists propose a separate Berlin city government, seeking to solidify political division. Russians vow not to recognize or permit such a regime.
