Berlin-Bound Convoy Blocked by Russians
BERLIN—(UPI)—The Soviets today blocked passage of a U.S. Army convoy bound for Berlin in a new harassment on the vital highway link connecting the isolated city with the West.
The Russians not only held up the convoy of 44 men in 12 vehicles, but asserted they had the right to determine how convoys would be processed.
Soviet troops halted the convoy at their Marienborn check-point, on the East-West German border at the western end of the 110-mile highway to Berlin.
THE CONVOY was stopped at 9 a.m. (3 A.M. EST). It still was held at 1:30 P.M. (7:30 A.M. EST), an army spokesman said.
Today's incident strengthened the belief held by Western officials here that last month's holdup of American and British convoys was not the miscalculation of subordinate Russian officers, as Washington officials said it was.
As last month, the convoy was refused passage today because Soviet border guards insisted that soldiers leave their trucks to be counted. The Americans refused.
The U.S. convoy commander said his convoy was not large enough for such a head count, but the Russians replied "it is the Soviet and not the Allied authorities who determine convoy processing procedures."
THIS WAS considered a challenge to the Western Allied right of free access to Berlin.

In another Berlin development, East German Communist guards today shot and killed a refugee trying to swim to West Berlin across the Spree River, which forms part of the border.
The refugee was the 55th killed by the gunman guard of the Wall Walk. He died in August, 1981.
Today's holdup could not be attributed to any Soviet misunderstanding of Western Allied processing procedures.
