U S Soldiers Enter East Berlin to Aid Lightner
U S military police entered East Berlin twice on Sunday night to escort E Allan Lightner Jr and his wife after East German police blocked their entry.

The action, the first armed entry since the barrier was raised, underscored Allied rights to move freely in East Berlin and drew a strong protest from the U S Army provost marshal Robert A Sabolyk to a Soviet officer.
