Soviet Extend Shoot-to-Kill Measures in Germany
Berlin reports extend the shoot-to-kill frontier policy from the East West border to include West Berlin. Deputy Prime Minister Walter Albright signed the order directing the People's police amid roadblocks and kidnappings. The move follows West Germany's peace treaty and anti Allied tensions. A West Berlin woman, Ingevorg Henning, 26, was arrested near the French sector after delivering blueprints and stepping into the Soviet zone. The U.S. protest over a U.S. military policeman’s wounding was rejected by the Russians.

Taft Sets Stance on Korea and Foreign Policy
Senator Robert A. Taft urged the United Nations to pull troops from Korea once South Korea is armed, suggesting we delay truce talks until U.S. arms can outfit Seoul. He warned bombing China over the Yalu is now unlikely but argued for Western Germany rearmament and an air‑power dominated peace strategy, while keeping sharp edges in GOP politics.

UN Hints At Another Recess In Korean Armistice Talks
In Munsan Korea Friday the UN and Communist truce negotiators met just 16 minutes as Maj Gen William K Harrison Jr hinted at another recess. Nam Il maintained a hard line on voluntary repatriation of POWs, keeping the talks deadlocked over the key issue. Allied officers met at Panmunjom before and after to review the June 5 shelling near the neutral zone, while the Reds alleged civilian injuries. The main delegations earned no progress and the UN still refuses to return about 100000 POWs who would resist repatriation.
