Experts Agree Allies in Berlin
Can't Hold Out if Reds Attack

ditch defense OF q small Sectlon, IN
cluding perhaps one Of the airports
a certain amount of supplies prob.
ably could be flown to Berlin. Such
a gesture would be very costly.
Some Army officers are known to
favor such defense II the east
west conflict should result in war
The highest Allied officials do not
however, expect the present cold
war to develop into a shooting wal
in the immediate future.
The Russians, through their pres
sure on the Western Allies, have
now blown up the question Of hold
ing Berlin to a prestige factor which
cannot be ignored.
Withdrawal Unlikely.
A withdrawal from Berlin would
so weaken the prestige OF the West
ern Allies that immediate and
drastic repercussions would follow
in France, Italy and other countries
Of Western Europe.
Such a move would be taken as
a sign Of weakness by strong Com
munist minorities everywhere and
probably would lead to renewed
Communist efforts to strengthen
their position.
At present, military freight trains
are still moving to Berlin from the
west, bringing food and fuel for
the Western Allies. Most Of the
freight cars 60 back empty. The
Russians several days ago refused
to permit a truckload OF furniture
for the American consulate In
Bremen to go through their check
point without special Soviet author
ization.
Red Strength Uncertain.
The Air Force has now been
called on to move an accumulation
Of American household furnishings,
militray government equipment and
other freight from Berlin to the
American zone.
There is no reliable estimate Of
Soviet military strength in Ger
many.
Several months ago Russian troop
strength in the Soviet zone was
put at over 100000 men, approx
mately three times greater than
that OF the Americans in the United
States zone.

" The Asseeiaisd Press

BERLIN, April l3.-Authorities
agree that the military position OF
the United States, Britain and
France in Berlin would be inde-
fensible under a Russian attack.
This Is the picture as obtained
from authorities and observations
on the scene:
II the Russians should decide to
use force to oust the western Allies
from Berlin, and thus bring on q
war. the first prisoners and In
ternees would be from the groups
of Americans, French and British
here, about $4,000 in all, soldiers
and civilians.
The few troops Of the western
Allies undoubtedly would defend
the three western sectors OF the
CITY. but the result would be certain
and inescapable.
It would be a military miracle II
the $4,000 soldiers of the Western
Allies, spread over two-thirds OF a
very large city, could delay the
capitulation more than a few hours.
Capital Is Surrounded.
This shattered four-power capital
is completely surrounded by the
Russian zone. The nearest western
border is that Of the British zone,
125 miles away.
The possibility Of the small gar
rison fighting its way through the
Russians down the auto highway to
the British zone Is an extremely
remote one. The possibility OF an
Allied dash through the Soviet zone
to relieve a besieged Berlin In time
is almost equally remote.
