Restored by Russians
by the Associated Press

BERLIN. July 8.-Water from
the Russian sector of Berlin
flowed into pipes in the Western
occupied sectors today after a
Six-day halt.
The agreement to restore the
water supply came the day after
talks opened looking to the res
toration of normal trade between
the Western and Russian zones Of
Germany.
It also provided for new nego-
tiations on the resumption Of
power deliveries from the Russian
zone to West Berlin which were
halted June 81.
The water and power shut-offs
followed a row over payment for
the services. The East claimed
payment was too low.
Ever since Monday the resi-
dents of Neukoellen In American
occupied Berlin have been de-
pendent on street pumps for
water. The rest of West Berlin
was supplied from its own sta
tions, but pumping pressure was
not high enough to reach Neukoel-
