Russians Threatening
To Block All Trucks
Bound for Berlin
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Feb. 3.-The Russians
threatened today to choke off en-
tirely Berlin bound truck traffic
at the Helmstedt check point.
This came on the heels of a
State Department declaration yes
terday that the United States is
considering counter measures
against the Soviet baby block
ade."
Border guards at Helmstedt
crossed to the British side today
and told the Western German Gus
toms Office they had orders from
Berlin to reject all trucks which
travel on a new type of cargo
invoice.
These papers were issued for
the first time by West German
shippers Wednesday. Most of the
trucks arriving at Helmstedt to-
day had this type. The new pa
pers differ slightly from the old
type but contain the same essen
tial information.
Total Blockade Expected.
The SovietS told the German
police they were under inStruc-
tions to refuse to recognize these
cargo invoices until February Is.
Border authorities said if they
persist in this attitude it could
mean that by tomorrow none of
the arriving trucks would be al
lowed to cross into the Soviet zone.
Unless some quick agreement
can be reached on the shipping
papers. the customs officials said,
the truck border would be tied
up in an almost total blockade.
The trucks at the head of the
waiting line in Helmstedt still had
the old type papers. They were
trickling through at the rate of
five to six trucks an hour.
Special Report Due.
BY tomorrow it was estimated
only trucks with the new papers
will be on the scene. There is a
lineup at Helmstedt that consist
emily averages between 1875 and
$50 trucks, each loaded with about
10 tons of supplies.
Top American officials in Berlin
may make "a special report to
High Commissioner John j. Nc
Cloy this week end on the latest
blockade tactics.
Mr.. McCloy is expected back in
Frankfurt tonight after two weeks
of consultations in Washington and
New York.

Local agencies will be chiefly
responsible for civilian defense in

heavily populated areas.
However, since setting up these
organizations States Attorney

Governor Garvey cannot use any
