Britain Sends Sharp
Protest 10 Reds Over
Firing at Tourist Bus
By fhe Assecioted Press

BERLIN, Mar. 29.-The British
sent sharp protest to Soviet au.
thorities today concerning yester-
days shooting attack on Ameri-
can sight seeing buses by East
German Communist police. The
buses carried 73 Americans, none
of whom was hurt.
The note, by Maj. Gen. G.. K
Bourne, British commandant In
Berlin, was submitted as Ameri-
can officials prepared to register
their protest verbally at face
to-face meeting with the Russians
Gen. Bourne's letter demanded
that "the culprits be brought to
account"
Called Wilful Attack.
'I must insist that you give
clear orders to the east sector
police, which are under your con-
troll, so as to insure that such
incidents cannot occur again, :"
the letter said.
The American command here
has termed the shooting "a will
full and unprovoked attack"
Maj. Gen. Lemuel Mathewson,
United States commandant, asked
for a meeting with Sergei
Dengin, head of the Soviet con-
troll commission for East Berlin,
to register a formal protest.
American officials said the issue
at stake is the right of Allied per-
sonnel to travel with safety in
four-power Berlin, including the
Russian sector.
Assurances Sought.
Gen. Mathewson was reported
to want a public reiteration of
that right by the Russians them
selves and some kind of assurance
that the East German Communist
police force is so advised.
The Eastern police opened fire
on a convoy of American Army
buses carrying tourists, including
women and children, on a regu-
larly scheduled sightseeing tour
of the city. Three shots punctured
one of the buses but no one
was hit.
Meanwhile, the East German
police stubbornly insisted on their
version of the incident-that one
of the buses knocked a patrolman
over.
Picture Taking Forbidden.
Americans who conducted the
tour said this was not true. What
is more likely, they added, is that
the East police saw some one raise
a camera to take pictures of the
Soviet sector border. Picture
taking is forbidden in the East.
The incident happened where
the American, British and Rus
sian sector borders meet.
The United States Army said
the next guided tour, scheduled
for Saturday, would be conducted
as usual, though there is like
hhood that drivers will be under
special orders TO- avoid getting
close enough to any Eastern po-
Hcenlan for him to take umbrage.
