Gift Parcels Blocked By Stalemate
Berlin dispatch reports a Soviet American row blocking more than 50 000 Christmas gift parcels for Germans in the Soviet and Berlin zones. American officials refuse to send rail cars to Soviet Germany, alleging the Russians do not return them. Major General Semein and Eugene Merrill accuse each other of using the parcels to seize equipment, while Western zones hold 957 cars owed by the Soviet zone. Merrill offers to deliver parcels to the Soviet border if transport guarantees are made.
