Adenauer denounces Berlin pact in Moscow report
Bonn chancellor Adenauer urged West protests against the Soviet East German agreement that gives East Germany control of approaches to Berlin. He warned it would be unfriendly if any Western nation talks with East Germans, and said only Bonn can speak for Germany as parliament debates the Moscow accord. The move grants East Zone full independence, the right to rearm, and to control access to West Berlin while prisoner releases were promised.
