Berlin Germans plan UN appeal over Berlin blockade
June 29 Berlin reports say the German city government will appeal to the United Nations for relief from the Soviet blockade. Berlin's Socialist mayor Frau Louise Schroeder said the appeal would be sent to Lake Success after briefing the four occupying powers, with a Danish or Norwegian mission handling delivery. The British, denouncing the blockade as ruthless, urged Russia to lift transport embargoes to avoid world condemnation. The UN secretary general is said to be studying the situation for Security Council action.
