U. s. and French officers said the show was successful and predicted other such efforts in the future. Only 1,500 troops took part in the operation.
 The Grunewald Forest maneu- yer caused considerable excite ment among the Germans. Sever al called the Associated Press bureau here to ask what truck loads of helmeted troops and ar mored cars were doing in the woods. The forest runs through the American and British sectors of Berlin.
 Berlin is deep in the Soviet oc- cupation zone, entirely surround ed by it.
 Marshal Vastly D. Sokolovsky, Russian commander in Germany, today offered western Berliners 6O,000 tons of coal as their "first winter installment"
 The official Soviet news agency said the coal would be available in few days for those western residents who had registered for food in the Russian sector.
 The Russians proclaimed sever al weeks ago that they would feed all Berlin with grain imported from the Soviet Union. Only small per cent of western Berlin CTS went over to the Russian sec tor to register for food.
 The Soviet news agency an nouncement said Sokolovsky had acted after representatives of the city's "four Democratic parties" had appealed to the Russians for coal.
 The Allied air lift over the Sov- jet blockade continued to click at record rate. In a 24-hour stretch yesterday 619 British and Amer ican planes brought in more than 4,100 tons of supplies.
