Berlin police chief flees to western sectors
Berlin officials say they will seek an explanation from the Russians after Chief Hans Kanig fled to the western zones to avoid arrest. He cites fear of capture over disciplining a policeman who lured a German citizen into the Russian sector for kidnapping. Western press reports another kidnapping and safety tips arise as Soviet propaganda attacks the United States and the Marshall Plan. Kanig, a Socialist, had long faced pressure from Soviet and Communist forces trying to oust him. American deputy commandant Horamandeniin says a four power rule may bar German officials from arrest without allied orders, and he will request explanations from Moscow.
