Berlin's rule to break up by Communist predicts collapse
A Communist spokesman Karl Maron warned that Berlin's central government linking east and west would crumble soon after a clash between Communist and non Communist members of the Magistrat. Waldemar Schmidt, fired by the city, refused to leave a Soviet hall while anti Communist members met in a British sector. Maron forecast a complete split of the Berlin city government. Soviet commander Kotikov said Russians will supply the city through winter, but only about one per cent of western Berliners have registered for such aid.
