WHEAT CROp DOWN. AFTER BAD M0NTH;;
 WEATHER, DISEASE

WASHINGTON, July 12. -tR-- The government reports a sharp reduction in wheat crop prospects due to unfavorable June weather and plant disease conditions.
 But it forecast the second largest corn crcp on record, exceeded only by last years all-time high ot nearly 3.7O0,OOOOoO bushels.
 The new wheat estimate, how ever, coupled with surplus from last year, still would provide more than enough bread grain to meet prospective domestic and export needs.
 The crop outlook greatly reduced if it did not eliminate-possibili- ties of return to rigid prewar production controls on the 1850 wheat crop.
 In it's July report, the Agricul- ture Department put wheat at 1 1,189, 100000 bushels -a reduction of about 148,Ooo,O00 from it's June forecast.

RUSSIANS
 ESTABLISH
 BLOCKADE
Tension Is Increased Over New Stoppage of Trucks
 Berlin Bound
(By the Associated Press)

The Russians have choked off Western truck traffic to Berlin to a mere trickle in a move denounced oy Western officials as a clear breach of the Four-Power agree ment on Berlin reached last month in Paris.
 The Russian move, without ex- planation, comes on the eve of scheduled new Four Power consult tations on normalizing Berlin's existence. Western nerves already have been stretched taut by the Russians off again on-again blockade tactics in Berlin, and the newest move is bound to increase the tension
 Only four cargo trucks an hour 96 a day-are going from the West to Berlin. These go over the Helm stedt highway All other highways have teen closed up by the Rus sians. On the Helmstedt road alone some 300 trucks a day het. been travelling into the city with supplies.
 The latest Russian move, en- phasized once again Berlin's posi- tion as political and economic island 100 miles inside the Soviet zone and underscored the import ance of the airlift, still roaring into the city. with supplies agains. the possibility of another full blockade such as the Russians in posed for almost a year.
