Mass Arrests Block Food Aid in Berlin
In Berlin East German police arrested scores of East Germans who accepted Western food to disrupt the American led relief flow. They were released soon after and their identity cards were taken. West Berlin reported heavy crowds at food relief centers on the third day of the program aimed at easing shortages. Communist authorities harassed truck and air deliveries but did not halt shipments. Officials expected 150000 more food packages today in addition to 250000 already distributed. A truck of 20 tons crossed into West Berlin after delays at Soviet and Babelsberg checkpoints amid searches and confiscation reports by Der Kurier.
