West Allies and Reds
Exchange Charges Of
Bad Faith in Berlin
U. S., British and French
Accuse Soviet of Putting
Emborgo on Serop Metal
By the Associated Press

BERLIN, Feb. 11.-Soviet Rus
sia and the Western powers ex-
changed new accusations of bad
faith in Berlin tonight. Each
side charged the other with an
illegal embargo of interzonal
German trade. Both thickened
the fog of cold war.
The United States, British and
French commandants complained
that the Russians were stopping
scrap metal shipments from West
Berlin to western Germany in
violation of their pledge at the
Paris foreign ministers confer
ence last spring to restore normal
movement of goods.
""We are not prepared to accept
this situation and expect that
shipments of scrap metal duly
authorized by proper authorities
will continue. as before, to have
free passage to Western Ger
many" the three declared in a
note.
Second Protest in Month.
1t was the Allies second pro-
test on the subject in a month.
They appeared likely to get the
same answer from Soviet Maj.
Gen. Alexander Kotikov as be-
fore: The scrap was contraband
stolen" from Eastern Germany.
An Allied background statement
to the press asserted the Soviet
scrap embargo was an aftermath
| of "exorbitant reparation de-
liveries' to Russia in the past
four years.
The statement said the Russians
not only had taken several million
tons of scrap, but now are fore
ing Soviet-controlled East Ger
many to export large tonnages
To Poland and Czechoslovakia.
The Communist Eastern gov
ernment is conflscating all private
scrap supplies for state-owned
metal industries. it added, after
failing to obtain permission to cut
exports to the Soviet sphere.
The statement insisted the legal
origin of West Berlin scrap could
be easily proved 'in individual
cases." despite Gen. Kotikov's
blanket charge of theft.
Some West Berlin factories have
scrap as regular by-product. 1t
is common knowledge, however.
that large-scale collectors draw on
sources beyond the Western Allied
sectors. This is regarded as legit-
