Imposed on Berlin
By the Associated Press

BERLIN July 9.-Soviet troops
at three frontier crossings from
Western Germany imposed a new
little blockade" today on Berlin
bound cargo trucks.
British zone officials accused the
Soyiets of violating the Big Four
Paris agreement on raising the
Berlin blockade.
German police reported fruit
and vegetable trucks were turned
back at Hof -Gutenfuerst and Co.
burg -Falkenstein, near the Baltic
coast. The crossing point at Her.
renburg, also in the British zone,
was closed yesterday to Berlin
consignments.
In all three cases, Soviet guards
said they were acting on tele-
graphic orders from their zonal
headquarters at Karlshorst.. a
Berlin suburb.
Other frontier posts, including
Helmstedt on the main Autobahn
from Berlin to the American zone,
have not been affected.
The new Soviet restrictions were
not applied to passenger cars or
empty trucks heading for Berlin.
Nor was truck traffic to Soviet
zone destinations interrupted.
