Berlin Blocks Cause Fights Over Travel Permits
Clashes erupted as West Berliners faced Communist road blocks sealing off the city from the Russian zone. A policeman fired warning shots as workers tried to reach jobs in East Germany. Travel into the Russian zone was halted since Saturday midnight except along lifeline roads to West Germany. The new rule requires a police permit, which is unavailable to many workers, leaving thousands unable to reach their jobs when the Whitsuntide break ends.
