Truckers threaten to cut off West Berlin supplies
Six hundred trucking firms voted to stop moving goods from Western Germany to West Berlin at midnight unless compensation is provided for losses from Soviet border guards.

The firms demand tax exemptions, border wait payments, a gasoline subsidy, and compensation for confiscated property, while U S Army expelled Soviet liaison members in retaliation for expulsion of American personnel.
