West German republic formation set for July 15
Lucius D. Clay, American military governor, fixes July 15 as the target date for the birth of the West German republic four months after last year’s allied plan. The accord excludes Russia as occupation zones form a union of states under American British and French control. Western leaders seek a united Germany eventually while hoping a strong West Germany attracts Soviets’ dissidents and thwarts Communist hopes. Russia opposes final division and had linked lifting the Berlin blockade to a broader German settlement. A German constitution drive stalls amid knotty issues.
