Blockade Defiance Planned in Berlin Crisis Prep
The United States has drafted plans to alert about 331000 military personnel in Europe and to send an unarmed test convoy through East Germany to West Berlin if the Berlin blockade occurs. The aim is to avoid provocation while ensuring readiness, with possible reinforcement by tanks if needed. The plan covers US, British, and French forces in Europe and envisions a 4 to 10 truck convoy along the Helsstedt to West Berlin route, potentially escalated if attacked.

Films Show Gelding Gentle as Lamb in Suit Verdict
In Municipal Court Wednesday, a breach of warranty negligence suit over a gentle horse named Buddy ended with a verdict for Milton Brorby. The case centered on Brorby’s statements about Buddy’s safety, countered by claims from William Wolf that Buddy bucked him causing hip and leg injuries. A series of film and photo exhibits depicted Buddy with children, dogs, and scenes outside Logan’s office, used to illustrate riding safety. Judge Martin DeVries noted Buddy appeared fit for riding by children, ruling for Brorby and dismissing Wolf’s $2,700 claim.
