Soviet border shutdown and high alert near Poland
Allied and BBC reports say the Soviet Union sealed Poland's border with East Germany and closed a 25 mile strip into East Germany, placing troops on the highest alert. Western observers note maneuvers around Warsaw Pact borders, while Moscow denies mobilization and repeats normal life for troops. Prime Minister Pinkowski urged unions to forgo disruptive actions as Poland faces hard economic times.
