Standstill in Berlin forces four power talks pause
Britain and France join the United States in pressing the Russians to set a date for the next Allied Control Council meeting before resuming work of the four Power committees. Gen Sir Brian Robertson and Gen L Clay say they will not attend four Power directorate meetings until the council meets to address the fallout from the March 20 walkout.
