Reprisal replies to Russ blockade of Berlin route
The United States and Britain banned train movements to and from the Soviet zone amid the Berlin blockade. American officials said technical difficulties caused the stoppage, the strongest Western counter move yet to pressure the blockade. Gens Lucius D. Clay and Sir Brian Robertson announced the order at Frankfurt, effective immediately, barring trains originating or terminating in the Soviet zone. The measure affects freight and passenger traffic with western Europe, while some trains including international mail and those returning German POWs were noted as allowed. Officials warned the action could have far reaching economic and political ramifications and cited the ongoing Russian blockade as the motive. The ban will cut shipments such as pyrite from Italy to the Russian zone and reduce eastern coal flows, with further developments expected.
