Berlin talks eye new trade charts and West Berlin charter

A likely full agreement may be signed that day as four power talks report a solvable post blockade atmosphere. The Western Allies issued an occupation statute for West Berlin effective Monday, outlining limited German self governance with Allies veto power on major issues. Deputy Mayor Friedensburg noted a special session to discuss the charter, which grants many local decisions but allows Allies to veto within 21 days before laws take effect.
