Moscow Berlin Truck Blockade Strains Four-Power Talks
Western officials denounce Moscow’s latest move to seal off Berlin traffic with only four cargo trucks per hour from the west. Helmstedt highway carries 900 trucks daily, while all other routes are closed. The action isolates Berlin 100 miles inside the Soviet zone and underscores the airlift’s importance as a backstop against a broader blockade. In Croatia Tito signals border closures with Greece while seeking Western loans, and archbishop Beran of Czechoslovakia is reported confined to his palace as a protest against government actions against the church. Britain struggles with a dollar problem as Snyder, Cripps, and Abbott meet for fact finding ahead of September ministerial talks in Washington.
