Friday, September 10. 1948
(By The Associated Press)
American officials rejected curt
ly today a Russian attempt to re
strict the air lift supplying block
aded Berlin.
The Russians sent a formal note
to the four power Berlin air safety
center demanding from the U. S.
detailed prior notice on every
flight made to Berlin. They as
serted the data is needed “in the
interests of safety.”
An American air force official
said the safety rules are adequate
and the real intent of the Russians
was “obviously another one of
their efforts to get control of our
flights into Berlin.”
The Russian move came after the
Soviets blamed the anti-commun
ist government of blockaded Ber
lin today for the mass protest
meeting which led to Soviet gun
play
The Soviets hoisted the hammer
and sickle flag over the Branden
burg gate, where blood flowed last
night after Berliners, shouting
against communist and the Russian
dictatorship, tore down the pla n
red flag.
The protest meeting \v as just in
side the British zone, within a nib
lick shot of the Sovie' zone. The
shooting occurred after the Ger
mans stoned three Russian soldiers
and then surged toward the Rus
sian sector. One German was kill
ed, 22 were injured and up to 90
were reported thrown into Soviet
jails. Practically all shooting seem
ed to be from the Russian zone.
Taegliche Rundschau, ofiicki 1
newspaper of the Russian military
government, said the demonstra
tion—by far the largest in Berlin
since the war — was “expressly
dedicated to arouse the people
against the Soviet Union.”
Sen. Chan Gurney <R.-S. DP,
chairman of the Senate armed
forces committee, saw the meeting
and said:
It was “the greatest mass pro
test I have even seen to come from
the people of their own free will.”
Allied sources spid talks between
the military governors to lift the
blockade might break down com
