Russia Makes
Strong Protest
On Berlin Vote
Tells West Thut
Election Plans
Are Provocution

BONN. Germany, June 27
(AP)-The Soviet Union today
made a strong protest against
the election of a new West
German President in the iso-
lated city Of Berlin.
In notes delivered to West
Germany and the Big Three
Western allies the Soviets said
it would be a provocation to
elect the President Of the West
German Federal Republic in
Berlin.
West Germany's electoral col
lege is to meet in Berlin
Wednesday to choose q success
sor to President Theodor Heuss,
whose second five-year term
expires in September.
A British spokesman said the
Soviet notes were strongly
worded but did not contain any
hint of Red repriSals.
A Communist East German
spokesman has mentioned the
possibility of a temporary
blockade, but recently that line
has been dropped.
Germans Stand Firm
The West Germans declared
they had no intention Of chang
ing their plans because Of the
Moscow protest.
Eugen Gerstenmaier. presi-
dent of the Bundestag dover
house, who convened the elec-
toral college, said he "sees no
reason why the election should
not be held in Berlin"
Foreign Minister Heinrich
von Brentano said no change
would be made in time or place |
because of what Moscow said.
Will Rasner. secretary Of the |
ruling Christian Democrats, |
said his party had no intention
of changing its travel plans.
Some members of the 1888 |
man electoral college are leav-
ing for Berlin tomorrow to at
tend party caucuses prior to |
the election.
Erich Ollenhauer. leader Of
the opposition Socialists. said
the election could not be re-
garded in any way as a provo
cation. He pointed out that
none of the Big Four powers
objected when Mr.. HeusS was
elected in Berlin in 1854.
ENJOYS Get Notes
The President has a second /:
official residence in Berlin. The
Bonn Parliament holds sessions
in Berlin from time to time tol
reinforce the constitutional
clause designating the city as
the German capital and Bonn
as the provisional seat Of gov
ernment.
The note to West Germany
was delivered in Bonn. The |
United States, British and
French Ambassadors received
theirs in Moscow.
A government spokesman
said the West German govern |
ment was in contact with the |
Western allies over the note.
Communist East Germany
has kept UP a drumfire of prop
aganda against the election
being held in Berlin and has at |
times threatened reprisals. such |
as a temporary blockade of the |
isolated city.
