Russians Tighten Berlin Traffic in New Subtle Blockade
May 18 reports say Soviet authorities restricted motor traffic to Berlin and the Soviet zone citing slumping East German mark value. An American official called it a new indirect blockade as four power talks on easing trade and traffic broke down. Berlin bound freight was halted at Hof and Helmstedt was named the only permissible crossing point, a shift in how the road link operated. C A Dix, U S transport chief, called it the subtle blockade restarting.
