Trucks Move As Reds Lift Blockade Again
Berlin, May 20—(U.P.) Berlinbound West German trucks rolled through the Soviet highway checkpoint at Helmstedt without interference today.
Russian threats to reimpose the "little blockade," voiced Thursday night, failed to develop. As a result, trailer trucks rumbled along throughout the morning with food, wines and other supplies.
The Russians lifted their two-day ban on truck traffic along the 110-mile, four-lane autobahn from Helmstedt to Berlin Thursday night to open the bottleneck at Helmstedt. At the same time they indicated they would clamp down on German运输 again today.
Transports also crossed the Russo-British and Russo-American zonal borders North and South of Helmstedt. These checkpoints were not affected by the Russian order demanding special entry permits But most drivers preferred the Helmstedt route because the road is better.
Meanwhile Western economic and financial experts conferred with the Russians at Karlshorst on resumption of East-West German trade and the lifting of the blockade. The Western Powers believed tha Russians created difficulties for truck traffic in hopes of forcing quick trade agreements at Karlshorst.
Informants said they believed the transport issue would be settled here, before Monday's Paris meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers.
Shanghai: Garrison headquarters declared Shanghai's billion-dollar Bund a war zone today amid reports that Communist forces just across the Whangpoo river were within two or three miles of the city's modern skyscrapers.
All non-military traffic was barred from the Bund, the Broadway of Shanghai, to make 'way' for govern- mental workers. The Footing district access the river.
Reliable reports indicated the government had suffered a defeat in the Chuansha area 18 miles East of downtown Shanghai and that Communist columns were stabbing for the river in two main and several minor thrusts.
One force was headed for the river at Tungkow, eight miles North of downtown, and another was aimed at some four miles South of downtown.
A government communique on the fighting mentioned no points nearer than 12 miles from downtown but reliable reports said Communist troops were operating within two or three miles of the river.
Once they reached the half-mile-wide Whangpoo the Communists could train their big guns directly on the banks, hotels and business houses rising along the Whangpoo's Western band in downtown Shanghai.
Prague: The Archbishop of Prague complained that the Czechoslovak government has suppressed religious freedom and is censoring and halting the publication of the Catholic press.
Munich: The Bavarian state parliament has decided to accept the new West German constitution only if two thirds of the other German states also approve it.
Rangoon: Karen insurgents proclaimed a Karen state in an area 100 miles North of this Burmese capital.
