Soviet Hints BerIin's
Railway Supply Line
May Be Severed Soon
By the Associoted Press

BERLIN, Jan. 31.-The Soviet
controlled railway management in
Berlin limited tonight that the
future of railborne supplies from
Western Germany is precarious.
Max Kellner, railway vice-presi-
dent, said organized gangs" be-
gan large-scale sabotage last night
in Allied sectors against rail in
stallations under the very eyes Of
West Berlin police"
These actions affect interzone
traffic" Kellner asserted. "A rep
etition of them could make the
supply of Berlin's population
difficult problem.
Trucks Still Snarled.
The implied threat to rail trans
portation came as Russian techni-
calities continued to snarl Berlin
bound trucks on the Soviet zone
frontier, in a resumed little
blockade.
Since January %, the volume of
truck cargoes on the Autobahn
from Western Germany has been
kept subnormal. Today clearances
varied from four to eight trucks
an hour at the Soviet check-point
at Helmstedt. A new backlog
grew to 40 trucks.
Only yesterday the Autobahn
bottleneck appeared to have
opened up with the Russians
shelving their go-slow tactics.
Starting early this morning
Soviet guards at the Helmstedt
border checkpoint-which controls
road traffic both ways between
Berlin and West Germany-took
so much time checking each truck
bound for Berlin that a long
waiting line formed.
Tactics Shifted in Morning.
The little blockade" had been
lifted yesterday to allow passage
of all trucks except a few with
improper papers.
Through the night only five or
six trucks an hour arrived at
Helmstedt. but each was waved
through without an inspection.
Without explanation, the guards
changed their attitude in the early
hours of the morning and began
haggling over cargo papers and
drivers documents.
More traffic arrived at the
checkpoint as daylight ap-
preached, but the guards held the
flow to about five trucks an hour.
The normal rate is about 80.
