Soviet Opposes Resumption of High Altitude Berlin Flights
The Soviet embassy in East Berlin said Western Big Three high altitude flights over Berlin would violate past practices. A spokesman declined to commit if Soviet fighters would challenge U S British or French planes above the 10 000 foot ceiling. Fighter planes buzzed but did not attack U S supply planes last April when the ceiling was defied. The Big Three do not recognize the limit. The United States halted flights after British concerns of a possible incident. Allies reportedly notified Moscow of plans to resume high altitude flights. The spokesman said concrete notes would lead to talks with the allies, especially East Germany, and that such flights could violate East German air space.
