Soviet tanks in East Berlin prompt belated admission of responsibility
Washington reports say the Soviet movement of tanks into East Berlin is a belated admission of responsibility for that sector. State Department officials caution that the impact remains unclear whether it eases tension or heightens danger. The action follows a protest by U S Ambassador Thompson to Moscow demanding Soviets reassert East German police authority at the border. Lincoln White notes the core issue is unilateral Soviet actions in Berlin and access rights for Western officials. If tanks signal acceptance of responsibility, the situation could improve. if they merely reinforce East German demands, it may worsen. White says the Soviets must ensure unhindered Allied access to East Berlin.

Fallout Cloud From Soviet Bomb May Hit Northwest
The Weather Bureau forecasts a suspected radioactive fallout cloud from the recent Soviet nuclear test moving into the U S Northwest. Rain in Oregon and Idaho could bring debris to earth while Washington may see minimal fallout if the rain zone shifts west. The jet stream at 100 to 150 mph carries the cloud eastward, with possible spread to northern California Nevada and southern Canada.
