Ulbricht Rejects Bid For New Berlin Parley
East Germany leader Walter Ulbricht rejected Western four power talks on curbing violence at the Berlin Wall and normalizing relations with West Berlin. He said negotiations should involve East Germany and West Berlin only, not occupation powers, and urged stopping border provocations and propaganda from West Berlin. An explosion at Kochstrasse created a hole in the wall near Checkpoint Charlie, knocking out windows in a West Berlin office building and widening the breach as East German labor brigades reinforced the area.
